CAREER COMEBACK / Review & Giveaway
Unfortunately, getting older can be a career killer. That’s what entertainment journalist Lisa Johnson Mandell discovered when she sent out a resume that made her sound like an aged veteran. Her new career makeover guide-expanded from the Wall Street Journal article about revamping her “older” image to land her dream job-acknowledges that experience matters, but looking and acting up-to-date matter just as much. Mandell provides ten strategies for putting a youthful spin on resumes, Web pages, and personal presentation.
Lisa Johnson Mandell is an award-winning multi-media journalist and author. She has been featured in The Wall St. Journal and Forbes, as well as on Dr. Phil, Rachael Ray, Bravo, the CBS Early Show, NBC Today, Fox News and many other media outlets. She is a popular international speaker, and her blog, LisaJohnsonMandell.com, is a helpful resource for all job seekers.
Lisa currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband James and their Golden Doodle, “KC.” When she is not helping people land jobs they love, she’s probably interviewing movie stars or preparing film reviews for Entercom radio stations and for Filmazing.com.
Although I’m not planning on going back to work,
I was interested in reading this book.
After all, nobody knows what the future holds.
CAREER COMEBACK is filled with practical information,
is well written, well laid out, and very easy to navigate.
Chapters include everything from Refresh Yourself
(which includes a 25 question quiz “How Hip Are You?”
Obviously I’m not hip at all, because I only
got 8 correct answers),
to Botox Your Resume
(exactly what it sounds like – tips on how to improve
that all important document).
There are before and after photo’s
(WOW)
in the chapter Look The Part.
And on pages 221 and 222 you can find
a One Day Career Comeback for $50 or Less
(9:00 Am to 6:30 PM – worth every minute!)
Pages 224 – 228 (Resource Guide)
contains a list of numerous books, products,
services, websites, etc. etc. that
can help you take the steps necessary
to get back into the workforce.
CAREER COMEBACK gets 2 thumbs up from me.

I'm still going to college and have not yet stepped into the workforce. This book would mainly be a gift for my mother who is strongly considering going back to work for the first time in years.
