Book Cover & Preview Text
Many millions today, perhaps like you, are actively searching for new and improved employment. In this book I present my central idea that stress experienced in the job search process is quite similar to the stress, called Yips, most golfers experience at one time or another on the course. I compare those two stresses to help career searchers, golfers and non-golfers alike, gain new insights and fresh perspectives on how to conquer job hunting issues. The fully employed, unemployed, and underemployed, those looking for new work opportunities, can benefit from comparing golf stress to issues they are dealing with in today’s competitive search arena. Conquering Your Yips will help you Win the Employment You Target
