Dedication

This book is dedicated to Zachary and Jake, the future and hope of the American workforce and terrific sons. Also to Susanne, an emerging entrepreneur who is courageously blazing a new career direction that will hopefully result in the interviewing and hiring of many employees.

I also dedicate this book to the thousands of job seekers whose wisdom, experience, and insights coalesced to guide the content of this book. Job searching and interviewing is one of life’s most challenging, frustrating, and disheartening undertakings. All job seekers, as they persevere day to day, searching for jobs to provide for their families and themselves, are unrecognized heroes. I hope this book contributes to these heroes finding jobs they love and earning the money they deserve.
