ENDED Book Giveaway - Career Comeback By Lisa Johnson Mandell

Career Comeback - Repackage Yourself to Get the Job You Want
Unfortunately, getting older can be a career killer. That's what entertainment journalist Lisa Johnson Mandell discovered when she sent out a resume that made her sound like an aged veteran. Her new career makeover guide-expanded from the Wall Street Journal article about revamping her "older" image to land her dream job-acknowledges that experience matters, but looking and acting up-to-date matter just as much. Mandell provides ten strategies for putting a youthful spin on resumes, Web pages, and personal presentation.

Looking young and staying technologically current is crucial to competing in an increasingly tough job market. CAREER COMEBACK offers the ultimate makeover to-do list: From "botoxing" your resume by deleting dates and early jobs, tech-savvy tricks for starting and improving your website or blog and online networking, to updating your wardrobe, Mandell shares the secrets that will get mid-career job seekers noticed and on the payroll.

Lisa Johnson Mandell is an award-winning entertainment reporter and film critic who gives daily reports on 16 Entercom radio stations and runs Filmazing.com. She has appeared on news and talk shows including NBC's Today Show, CBS's The Early Show, Dr. Phil, Inside Edition, CNBC, CNN, Rachael Ray, Fox News, and others. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Mademoiselle, Forbes, and on the AP Wire service. She is a popular lecturer at The Learning Annex.

She is the author of the tongue-in-cheek book How to Snare A Millionaire (St. Martin's Press) and is co-author with Patti Stanger of Become Your Own Matchmaker (Atria, January '09).
