Sound Advice

"To my thinking, Job Search: The Total System & Total Interview Video Series hits the mark, providing crucial, easy to digest information and suggestions on how to prepare and carry out a job search.

Over the years I have had occasion to refer to and loan out this text to students facing that first job interview and to friends dealing with outplacement due to company 'right-sizing'. All have commented on how helpful the book was to them.

The Total System should be required reading for every college student, and must reading for individuals seeking changes in careers, dealing with outplacement or just wanting some good, sound advice on job potential and job search."

Real World Examples

"Easy reading and informative and instructive, Job Search: The Total System offers the college student a realistic approach to the all-too-often intimidating world of finding a good job with a good future in a competitive market.

The Dawson's book and interview video series gives "real world" examples and teaching methods. It offers the college instructor excellent supplemental material for the classroom. Students, in turn, receive needed tips on how to assess their own personal strengths and overcome weaknesses. Critical thinking skills are stressed and developed through real world training activities.

The Total System & Interview Video Series is outstanding both in the ease of presentation and in the value of information it provides. For anyone who is interested in finding just 'the right job', The Total System is an excellent reference!"
