ShareThisWhen career coach Robin Ryan talks, I listen - and so should you! She has been called America's top career coach by many, and time and again has given me confidence that I am leading my readers down the right roads. Ms. Ryan has a new book out that I strongly recommend for job searchers on all levels, anyone anticipating a job or career change, and for that matter, recruiters and human resource professionals. I think it's a must read and must have book for your library. It is "60 Seconds & You're Hired," published by Penguin Books. This is a revised and updated edition and contains new facts and research information. You should replace an older edition with this new one.Maybe one of the reasons I pay attention when Ryan talks is that she supports what I say about dressing for success, being early for interviews, sending that thank you note the same day as the interview, and why it's important to be honest and prepared - at all times.In "60 Seconds," she also gives valuable advice for answering those tricky interview questions, how to deal with gaps in work history, the secrets of establishing your value, and she gives 37 questions you can ask during your interviews.This is a very thorough job search guide book. Look for the 2008 edition at your favorite book store or public library, or visit www.RobinRyan.com.One short quotation from Ryan's new edition sets the standard for what we both believe, and wish to pass on to you:"Within you at this moment is the power to do things you never dreamed possible. You know what you are today but not what you may be tomorrow. Always look at things as they can be. You can do anything you wish to do, have anything you wish to have, be anything you wish to be. When you do all the things you are capable of you will literally astound yourself," she said. I say believe in yourself and what you are. Look to the past only to strengthen your present and future, and always look for ways to do what others fail to do.Marvin Walberg is a job search coach.

Paying taxes unites us. It also divides us. People can pay five and even six times more in state and local taxes than other folks in similar circumstances making similar incomes.
