One hundred pages of lifesaving advice for people out of work. When over ten million people have needed help with their job-hunt—or with figuring out what to do with their life—there is one person they have turned to, more than any other. He is Richard N. Bolles, author of the #1 job-hunting book of all time, What Color Is Your Parachute? His name is well-known around the world. Just during the last twelve months, he has appeared in Time (“10 Ideas Changing the World Right Now,” March 2009), U.S. News & World Report (deemed “savior of the nation’s unemployed,” October 2008), NBC’s Today Show (broadcast in April 2009), and many other publications and shows. His book was the #1 best-seller on BusinessWeek’s paperback list as recently as last November. Never has his advice been more sought than during these brutal economic times. He has responded by writing a completely new book: The Job-Hunter’s Survival Guide, designed particularly for people who are hanging on the ropes, who haven’t time to do a lot of reading but need help desperately—and now. Early reviews have called this little Guide “brilliant” and “tremendously helpful.”

The Capitalism Survival Guide by Yvon Vitalyevich Serov Pdf

What is credit? How do I invest? How do I get a job? What about building a career, budgeting, getting rich and all the rest? Come to think of it, how come I never learned any of this in school? We, the general population, are thrown into capitalism with a sea of such questions in tow. Just as we start to discover who it is that we are, we’re forced to play a game that we never signed up for without so much as an explanation of the rules or an introductory welcome. This meta game of capitalism has become a ruthless divider between those “in the know” and those who aren’t. While the well prepared prosper, the rest of us are left behind to use rather convincing nods amongst dinner conversations to make it seem like we understand how a credit score actually functions. Because, surely, we should have this all figured out by now… right? The contrasting reality is harsh; no one took the time to sit us down and explain how everything works. They only instructed us to find jobs but never explained how to build a career or why. Now, years later, we feel too distant from these concepts to bridge the gap, suffering in silence as we struggle to make ends meet. Well, I say if you're going to play their game, you may as well play it well. So here it all is. I'm sitting you down and showing you their cards. A Capitalism Survival Guide that shows you how this all works in under 200 pages. Let's get started.
