The Right Job

Robert O. Snelling. Penguin Books, $9.95 (246pp) ISBN 978-0-14-009625-5

Snelling, author of several previous books on finding work and the founder of an employment service, argues that unsuccessful job-seekers suffer less from insufficient experience than from ""a lack of knowing how to set your goals, approach the job market and land the job.'' Writing with a reassuring, intimate tone and occasionally digressing with case histories and personal anecdotes, he covers such topics as mapping out job campaigns, writing resumes, developing interview strategies and negotiating salary. This is a valuable handbook for job-hunters. (April)
