NEW EDITION OF STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO FINDING A JOB 
Looking for Work, an interactive guide to marketing yourself

Job seekers can get a boost from the new edition of Looking for Work, a
computer-based, step-by-step guide to running a professional job search
campaign. The program, which will run on any IBM-compatible PC, consists
of eight "lessons" and more than two dozen worksheets, checklists,
templates, model resumes and marketing letters. It contains a calendar of
activities for those who aren't sure where to begin and a set of
week-by-week milestones against which to measure your progress. The
self-paced instruction and clear explanation of the tasks involved in
finding a job take a person through every step, including preparation for
interviews.

The new edition suggests tips for improving your networking skills and
includes extensive help on identifying prospective employers and preparing
for interviews. It explains how to get the most out of the new on-line job
banks and resume databases, and how computer technologies affect the way
your resume should be written. Most people put too much emphasis on the
resume and neglect the more important tasks of networking, identifying
high potential employers, sending marketing letters (not the outworn and
ineffective "cover" letter), and interviewing. "The two-minute drill alone
is worth the price of the program," said one financial executive who used
the program last year. Even the resume gets a fresh perspective people
have been taught to pay attention to their verbs with advice that,
"strong, action verbs make an impression,"--when the opposite is true
today. If you neglect your nouns, your resume just might never be seen.

Looking for Work is available at numerous university placement offices and
in many libraries. Several major career consulting and outplacement firms
have adopted the program and are using it to get their clients back into
the job market more quickly than ever.

Looking for Work was named one of the best software products of the year by
the Public Software Library. Nelson Ford, publisher of PSL, said, "We feel
this program will give job searchers more confidence both because it
prepares you for the task and because it gives you a plan to go by." Bob
Sadler, writing (of the earlier edition) in the Shareware Review, said,
"Looking for Work outlines an approach to job seeking that is intelligent,
well-structured and professional. The author pulls no punches . . . but
you can't help but feel that you are proceeding in an orderly way towards
finding employment." The program is currently a "top pick" of America
Online and was the subject of an extended review in Joyce Lain Kennedy's
nationally syndicated careers column.

Looking for Work has been endorsed by the International Association of
Career Consulting Firms--professionals in the business of helping people
find jobs--the only software product that organization has ever
recommended to member firms.

The program sells for $49 and may be purchased directly from the publisher
(InterDigital, (908) 832-2463). The author, Dr. Frank L. Greenagel, was
head of executive recruiting for Litton Industries.
