Customer Reviews

Amazing!

This book should be #1 for anyone in the market for a job, not just those looking for a career change. After 6 months of trying, I nailed a job on my first interview after reading this book. The advice is totally relevant to this economy's job market, and I especially appreciated the tips on getting and maintaining positive control of interviews and meetings. I can't imagine there's a better book out there.

Helpful and encouraging

"50 Plus, Critical Career Decisions for the Rest of Your Life," while written for those in their fifth decade, presents sound practical advice for persons of any age. Particularly helpful are the chapters devoted to how to move up in your profession, how to do your own public relations, and how to determine when it is time to change your job. In this, the author's third book offering advice to persons in specific age groups (the first was the well received "The Critical 14 years of Your Professional Life"), he devotes more time to the tactics, strategies, rewards, and pitfalls of striking out on your own than he did in his previous volumes. Throughout this latest work Dilenscneider not only tells the reader "how to do it," but his consistently upbeat approach also leaves one with the feeling that "it can be done."

A Career Guide for everyone!

50 Plus! is a relevant to-the -point, no nonsense guide that applies to all those in the work force who want that extra "edge" to achieve their goals. Every page offers something of value to the reader. It covers the "in's and out's" of business from the hiring interview, to how to leave a job and all the stops in between..resumes, creating an image, business relationships,even how to conceptualize and start your own business. Although this book is titled 50 Plus!,and indeed provides 8 rules for "getting back in the game",it offers practical information that can be used at any age. This is a well written "must read" for everyone and a great book to keep as a reference.

buy this one ASAP

you will not find a book with more advise, even if you are under 50... it's incredible what basic steps we forget to take but Bob Dilenschneider reminds us in a very thoughtful volume that should be read by everyone.

in a difficult time to not only find a job but to preserve a job, 50 Plus gives the "experienced" generation all the reference materials to be needed and wanted in the workforce. This is a must read for anyone -- not just in their fifties -- who wishes to be gainfully employed for a long time.
