The Right Job, Right Now Book Review

Susan Strayer is a frequent contributor to CollegeRecruiter.com, including as an author of many very helpful blog entries and a commenter to blog entries written by candidates and others who have questions or need some guidance. After graduating from college a decade ago, she apparently decided that she wouldn’t know true joy until she had suffered some true pain, so she went back to school for an MBA and had a job hunting advice book published by St. Martin’s Press…at the same time.

Susan’s book is a gem and entitled The Right Job, Right Now: The Complete Toolkit for Finding Your Perfect Career. It is designed to be read from cover-to-cover by those who both want and need that much help. It is also designed so that those who only want or need help in specific areas can jump right to those areas. I suspect that most readers will jump right to the specific areas for which they require the most help but will then use the book as a reference tool for years to come. Many will never read the book from cover-to-cover and that’s unfortunate as there are stories, lists, action items, and plenty of answers throughout.
We should all be developing our careers all of the time, but the reality is that none of us has as much time to do so as we would like. Some of us don’t even have as much time to do so as we need. And that’s why The Right Job, Right Now is so valuable as it allows all of us to find the answers that we want as quickly as we need them.
