Program 1:31 Update

"Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested." — "Of Studies". Essays II, Francis Bacon

What good is a business if it doesn't help others? Program 1:31 is a Path Choices initiative to build strength worldwide through reading. The 1:31 comes from a chapter and verse in the book of Isaiah. For every 31 new people added to our newsletter list, we donate one book to a noble program or non-profit organization anywhere in the world. One book for every 31 people. By being on our mailing list, you are contributing to this program. These books are selected and purchased by Path Choices based on wish lists, at no cost to you or the organization receiving the books. Encourage your friends to sign up for the newsletter!

Mental Floss

A recent study found that only 15% of jobs are posted in the newspaper. A few more are on-line or in trade journals. But the bulk of job opening are never advertised.

Points to ponder:

  • What is my next career move?
  • How will I prepare for it?
  • How will I find it?

The Latest

Excerpt from Getting Seen: The Ultimate Guide to Creating the Most Important Document of Your Life--Your Resume:

When I started working on this book, I did a quick Google search on “resume writing”.  It came up with 78,000,000 results in 0.06 seconds!  I call this a problem of plenty.  Scanning these web sites revealed half-baked advice that had been carelessly posted.  Some of the sites contradicted each other.  Few, if any, addressed modern processes and technological tools used in our electronic age.  And much of the guidance was hopelessly out of date.  Overall, the web is full of trivial—and sometimes incorrect—guidance to direct the reader in creating what might be the most important document of their life. 

It’s perplexing that after many years of expensive schooling or when contemplating a mid-life career shift, the typical job seeker creates his main job search tool based on poor advice doled out from misinformed sources. Think about it. After spending thousands and thousands of dollars on an education and dedicating years and years to pursuing a vocation, your typical worker-on-the-move settles for resume advice that is almost gossip.

You can order this book NOW for immediate delivery.
