  We have been using the Getting the Job You Really Want video series in our Resource Room for several months. I have used the videos individually for employment workshops. They are very thorough and attractively done. The “built-in” breaks allow for discussion work quite well. The Instructor’s Guides available give great ideas for workshops which encourage more interaction. By giving perspectives of employers, job seekers see a different view point which seems to be quite helpful to them.... The topics covered in this series give many great ideas for job searchers and cover well the area of how to successfully look for work. I’d recommend it highly.

  Your Ten-part video/DVD series Getting the Job You Really Want surpassed my expectations and proved to be extremely beneficial to my students. The in-depth coverage of each topic area was thorough, candid, and so ‘real world’ that I could see my students take on an attitude of awareness and recognition. Students who had been lacking in self-esteem and drive demonstrated a great improvement in self-assuredness and class participation. I saw a noticeable transformation in their performance.... I highly recommend this video series—I found it to be the best available on the topic of job search and career management.
