Book Description
Straight talk from America's top hiring managers and recruiters about how to succeed in any job market. The authors asked top HR, staffing, and recruitment professionals, along with the managers who make the hiring decisions at the most sought-after companies, to tell them what makes a job candidate stand out to them. Their responses are woven into seven "how-to" chapters that each focus on a different aspect of job search. This book compiles the diverse opinions of many people to "humanize and simplify the concept of job search."
Key Features:
*The only book on the market that focuses specifically on the advice of hiring managers and HR executives—the people whose opinions really count when it comes to getting hired!
*Quantified results from a uniform survey of interviewees give hard numbers to back up opinions about the best strategies for getting hired fast.
*Advice for planning your own job search strategy.
*"In This Chapter" boxes at the beginning of each chapter summarize the main points of each expert's advice.

A new look on the old job hunting books.......2005-08-25
This book is a good look from the inside. Many books don't do it, and if they do it's from one source. Here's it's from multiple sources, and by reading it you'll learn a lot.

Book Description
Initially, this work was designed to document and study the diversification of modern mammalian groups and was quite successful and satisfying. However, as field and laboratory work continued, there began to develop a suspicion that not all of the Eocene story was being told. It became apparent that most fossil samples, especially those from the American West, were derived from similar preservational circumstances and similar depositional settings. A program was initiated to look for other potential sources of fossil samples, either from non-traditional lithologies or from geographic areas that were not typically sampled. As this program of research grew it began to demonstrate that different lithologies and different geographic areas told different stories from those that had been developed based on more typical faunal assemblages.
This book is conceived as an introduction to non-traditional Eocene fossils samples, and as a place to document and discuss features of these fossil assemblages that are rare or that come from rarely represented habitats.

With the very first sentence of the first story in this remarkable collection, Annie Proulx demonstrates what makes her great: images sharp as paper cuts conveyed in language so imaginative and compressed it's just this side of poetry; a sense of character so specific it takes only a sentence to establish a whole life; and the underlying promise of something utterly unexpected waiting just up ahead.
In the long unfurling of his life, from tight-wound kid hustler in a wool suit riding the train out of Cheyenne to geriatric limper in this spooled-out year, Mero had kicked down thoughts of the place where he began, a so-called ranch on strange ground at the south hinge of the Big Horns.
"The Half-Skinned Steer" chronicles elderly Mero Corn's journey back to Wyoming for his brother's funeral. As he drives west, details of his eventful trip are interspersed with recollections of his youth on the ranch--most notably a tall tale he heard told long ago about a sad-sack rancher named Tin Head and a butchered steer. This is vintage Proulx, a combination of isolated landscapes, macabre events, and damaged people that adds up, in the end, to a near-perfect story. It's no surprise that "The Half-Skinned Steer" made it into John Updike's Best American Short Stories of the Century.
Proulx achieves similar results with many of the other stories in Close Range, including another prizewinner, "Brokeback Mountain," the bittersweet story of doomed love between two cowboys who "can't hardly be decent together," yet know "if we do that in the wrong place we'll be dead." But Proulx is careful to add some leavening to the mix. In "The Blood Bay" she indulges her taste for the gruesome with a morbidly amusing retelling of an Old West shaggy-dog story, while "Pair a Spurs" is the sad-funny rendering of divorce, Wyoming style. The author is a true original in every sense of the word, and her evocation of the West is as singular and surprising as that of Cormac McCarthy or Ivan Doig. Close Range is Proulx at her best. --Alix Wilber
Amazon.com Audiobook Review
Pulitzer Prize-winner E. Annie Proulx forays through the underside of America's beloved Wild West in Close Range, a collection of stories about hardship and more hardship in Wyoming territory. Understanding that the West's infinite spaces tended to inspire neither introspection nor contemplation, but a violent and insatiable restlessness, Proulx's eight stories are dark reflections on the lives of a handful of characters striving to define themselves against the unforgiving landscapes. The three professional actors chosen to read the text give strong, resounding interpretations of the macabre tales. (Running time: 6 hours, 4 cassettes) --Natasha Senjanovich
Book Description
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning and bestselling author of The Shipping News and Accordion Crimes comes one of the most celebrated short-story collections of our time.
Annie Proulx's masterful language and fierce love of Wyoming are evident in these breathtaking tales of loneliness, quick violence, and the wrong kinds of love. Each of the stunning portraits in Close Range reveals characters fiercely wrought with precision and grace.
These are stories of desperation and unlikely elation, set in a landscape both stark and magnificent -- by an author writing at the peak of her craft.
Customer Reviews:
I really like Proulx's prose.......2007-10-02
I took this book and Into the Wild by Krakauer with me on a 3 day backpacking trip in the mountains. Read Proulx.
Proulx's prose is a great engine with horses to spare!.......2007-08-25
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for The Shipping News and known for vigorous mercurial prose, Annie Proulx takes readers on a journey of speed and destiny in Close Range. Her ability to uncover and dissipate the dead waters of American culture, providing a rich love of character and story in the process, is replete with momentum and artistry. Her stories burn like bonfires in the darkness of a vast literary plain.
'Brokeback Mountain' and then some.......2007-08-13
Annie Proulx supplies interesting subjectivity in extreme and/or interesting environments. Initially reader response to her work was favorable. Recently critical response seem to have fallen, (every interesting new writer cannot remain a new writer forever), but encountering this collection the reader is struck immediately by the liveliness of the writing. One knows that the anticipated enjoyment will pan out.
Does a son go to a bullriding school in California just to spite his mother? She feels that, with all of her hard work of raising him, betrayed. Two years later Diamond sits with his younger brother at the kitchen table. He tells his younger brother rodeo is like a magic show.
A man works on the range near Laramie. He saves. Next he sends for his family. He stakes a homestead claim. The Tinsleys are less lucky than the Dunmires. There is some terrible misery in store for the Tinsleys.
Aladdin has three children. One, an overweight girl, stays home and works on the ranch. She thinks the tractor is speaking. She marries the son of the cattle dealer. Aladdin crashes his new plane.
Someone asserts that half of the hands in Wyoming are women. Bison, it seems, are half the trouble of cattle. Later the lands are sold. It is supposed to revert to the state of nature. Someone runs a lodge for Japanese tourists.
'Brokeback Mountain' is in this collection. Ennis and Jack have signed up with Farm and Ranch Employment. They are herder and camp tender near Signal. The summer range is National Forest land on Brokeback Mountain. Yes, indeed, the story has cinematic features.
Proulx is unique.
Home On the Range.......2007-07-05
You have to hand it to Larry McMurtry for having seen the potential in this little story which did nothing for me when I read it. It goes to show that reading itself is a talent, not to mention writing. I found this a rather thin read, never anticipating its extraordinary visual or dramatic possibilities. It is a text book case of the art of adaptation. Proulx has expressed her satisfaction with the film version, saying that she felt that it had been translated unchanged to the screen with just a few minor changes. The film, of course, is gorgeous. Here I found the prose as thin as that mid-western air. Still, McMurtry saw it all, bought the rights, and the rest is history.
Proulx has a way with Words.......2007-05-06
I found Proulx's interpretation of Wyoming ranching life as harsh, grim, stark, disturbing. It's as if Wyoming was left to nature alone - not much influence from "civilization." Her writing is in a word: FLAWLESS. She is one of those folks who can offer a man's whole life story in a sentence or two - with out really missing anything. Truly a gifted writer. I love her style, though the stories were often heartbreaking and grey. In fact, I could not picture any of the stories in color - they were all shades of sepia and grey. On an odd note, Proulx really is a funny one about characters' monikers. A super quick read, but lasting characters.
