Two-Approach Job Assistant and Career Information Guide

“This book is a valuable and resource-loaded gold mine for Latinos.”
— Career Planning and Adult Development Journal 

Being a Latino in the United States still is a synonym for working at low-paying and menial jobs and the situation is slowly changing for the better. Due to the accelerated ageing process of the American workforce, the Latino workforce-drawn from a population having an average age of 26-is becoming a vital part of the national economic future. The Complete Guide for Latin Jobs presents a comprehensive career road map designed to resonate with Latino and Hispanic job seekers at experience levels ranging from college students through mid-level managers. If you’re a Latino job seeker, instantly you’ll find user-friendly advice and information. The author stresses the importance of developing good English communication skills, extending job skills to make oneself valuable to an employer, dealing with discrimination problems, learning to tap into Latino and Latino-friendly professional associations, and much more.

A reader: I have worked to help Latinos in their careers for over 20 years. Our community has needed more user friendly job search tools and resources to be successful in today's job market. The Complete Job Search Guide for Latinos delivers that and much more.

The authors clearly understand the needs of Latino job seekers and what employers look for. Their recommendations combine the needs of both worlds into practical strategies that work. They provide easy to follow step-by-step how-to checklists for each stage of the job search process, real examples of Latinos successfully using the book's recommendations, and methods that Latinos can use to open doors at employers to get the job. The list of job search resources alone is worth the price.
