For Job Hunters and Employers.......2004-02-09
I have found this book so useful that I have bought and given 5 copies as gifts! It is very practical and written to be of use in a variety of situations.
If you are looking for a job you will find this book full of excellent tips, techniques, and tools for finding a job. Plus, you will get great advice for how to make certain an acceptance offer gives you the best protection from the possibility of future job loss.
If you are well along in your career and are looking for thoughts on how to protect yourself from future job loss, this book is also for you. The chapter on how to bulletproof your career is a gem.
And, if you are an employer, this book also gives advice on how to effectively, and humanely, deal with a job cutting situation (remember, you have to be concerned about the reactions of the people who will not be losing jobs too).
My advice, buy one for yourself and a few more for your friends and relatives who can benefit from it.

This book is an excellent resource whether you are an employer, employee, or currently - out of a job.
Angry, Depressed, Confused? This book is for you!.......2004-01-08
An excellent resource to read cover-to-cover OR to scan through as you transition through your personal situation. This book is loaded with practical, legally sound and well-thought-out advice. Leaders and managers would be smart to learn a lot from this book as it provides both employer and employee perspectives. As a transitioning employee I found that copying some of the forms in the book provided a quick access to practical tools which I needed quickly to make important decisions. I just attended orientation at my new work place and I have no doubt that I jsut made a fantastic move! I intend to get copies of this book into the library of my new employer. Thank you Byron and Michael. Excellent work!
A great "toolkit" for career survival.......2003-12-20
As a recently laid off executive I found this book to be full of valuable information to help me cope with the job loss, organize an effective job search plan and be better prepared for the next job. A short review like this cannot do justice to the amount of helpful and practical information contained in the book. I highly recommend the book to any executive who has been laid off or feels at risk.

Not worth it at half the price........2000-05-30
This book is outrageously overpriced.
The major problem is that the authors drone on and on in each chapter about the same stuff. Most of the chapters would have been sufficient at half of their 30 page length. After about 15 pages and the third repetition of stuff that's already been explained, my brain started to wander. I'd have to go back and force myself to pay attention to what was being said.
Another major problem is the utter lack of editing performed. The sentence structure throughout the book is terrible. The syntax and choice of words is confusing. I'd have to re-read certain sentences several times before I could understand what the authors were trying to say. The English in general is also bad. Over and over, there were sentences that started with "But...". Then there were times when verbs were used as nouns, which is acceptable, but, because of the terrible sentence structure, it looked like they were being used as verbs. This made it almost impossible to read.
The only reason this book didn't get one star was the fact that some of the information was actually useful. The majority of the book, however, was just droll, boring repetition of stuff I didn't need to know in order to grasp the concepts. It also needed to have more concrete examples of stuff. It started out doing that well, but, by chapter 6 or 7, it just became too abstract. There must be a better book out there on this subject.

God's Bomber?.......2007-08-22
While the descriptions of his exploits in WWII were OK, he reminds me of the character that Telly Savalas played in the "Dirty Dozen". He judges everyone by his high moral standards and sticks his nose up to anyone who doesn't measure up. Of course, he did push the toggle switch that dropped about a quarter million pounds of bombs on women and children. He said that bothered him a bit but, what the heck, it's war right? I think he should rename his book "Bombing for Jesus". Not the kind of guy you would want to hang around with.
An honest and touching memoir.......2004-12-27
Mr. Stevens writes with refreshing honesty. He claims his book is not about heroics but the bravery and courage of his own and the other men in the 8th Air Force touch the reader in a way books written to impress or excite cannot. He shows us real ordinary young men at war in a way only those who have been there could know. A must read for students of history and WWII.
I Felt I Was There!.......2004-09-03
Charles "Norm" Stevens is a gifted writer. His descriptions give you the sense that you are there experiencing the life of one bombardier in 1944. The scent of shaving cream, the aromas in the plane, the suspense waiting for the plan of the day to be revealed, the views of the land below, peaceful, and chaotic, all are masterfully described by Lt. Stevens. The most routine actions are colorfully written with anticipation leading to the final mission and the return home. This memoir is a "good read" and one to be recommended.
A fascinating closeup look at a World War II bombardier.......2004-03-25
A beautifully written, step by step account of Steven's experiences as part of a bomb group stationed in England during World War II. Not only does he let you feel the tensions that derive from takeoffs to bomb runs to returns to base of each mission, but the content is almost lyrical in its descriptions.
I recommend it highly.
