"Chick Lit Meets Job Search Manual"

book cover image There's nothing worse than feeling ho-hum about your career. Well, ok, there are worse things like famine, war, disease and over-tweezed eyebrows. With all this going on, it's even more important to find career happiness. Yet, many women would rather clean under their kitchen sink, than read a career book.

Career counsellor Christine Fader sets out to change all that with her new book, Career Cupid - Your Guide to Landing and Loving Your Dream Job. The book uses the analogy that finding a dream job is a lot like the process of finding a dream romantic relationship. With topics like "Speed Dating", "One-night Stands" and "The Kissing Savant" and wrapped up with a lot of sexy style, women will enjoy reading this little pink career book while indulging in something chocolate! It's a fun guide to career management that's packed with smart advice and best practices critical for today's fast-moving job market—and fast-moving women. ISBN #978-0-9811529-0-5
Price: $18.95 (MSRP)
Available online and in bookstores at: AMAZON, Chapters.ca, and orders@writingonstone.ca
