New Book Claims Job Seekers Taking Wrong Approach In Search For Employment

July 31, 2011

CHARLESTON, SC – July 31, 2011 – Andy Thomas, a syndicated radio personality turned career development expert and motivational speaker proudly announces that his new book The Job I Need, Needs Me is now available for purchase.

Based on Thomas’ copyrighted strategy for career counseling, and with the help of writer Denise K. James, The Job I Need, Needs Me not only instills hope, inspiration and motivation – but provides a real blueprint for job seekers looking to achieve personal and professional fulfillment.

“Most job seekers are going about the process backwards,” Thomas claims.  “The internet should NOT be the primary job search mechanism and my book teaches what does produce quick interview success.”  Continuing, he states, “I am extremely concerned about the depression and frustration I see among the unemployed today and know that it is worsened by the poor results of their job search.  My book and seminar is certain to help turn misfortune into opportunity by both inspiring and educating people on how they can take control over their lives and find a fulfilling career.”

Thomas first developed his technique while providing career counseling at Good People Staffing, a subsidiary of Goodwill Industries of Lower SC.  He later honed his message during a two-year tour in which thousands of unemployed Americans not only shared their stories but heard Andy’s 60-minute motivational seminar on how to search for a career and package and market oneself effectively.  The Job I Need, Needs Me puts into words Andy’s unique training process and combines his formula for career success with stories from his 2009-2010 counseling and seminar road trip across the Southeast.

The Job I Need, Needs Me covers the essentials readers need to know in order to both identify and land the job that is actually “right” for them.  Andy teaches that people can reinvent themselves at any age and provides instruction and insight on how everyone can prosper – even in today’s troubled economy.  He truly is “The Job Guru.” 

The Job I Need, Needs Me provides inspiration and hope as well as a distinctive blueprint. It can be purchased through Amazon in paperback or downloaded via Kindle and Nook.  With Andy’s 2011-2012 tour set to begin soon, now is the time to purchase this book and schedule one of his motivational seminars.
