You Have More time Than You Think... Really.
There are 168 hours in a week—Laura Vanderkam's book is a new approach to getting the most out of them
 Laura Vanderkam
Vanderkam also explains, in depth, how to control investment of time so that "there should be almost nothing during your work hours - whatever you choose those to be - that is not advancing you toward your goals for the career and life you want"; how to determine what the "next level" of personal and professional development looks like and how to "seize control" of the schedule while completing a transition to that level; and what a "breakthrough" is and how to achieve it to expedite the transition process.
In 68 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think, (Amazon affiliate link), Laura draws on her own experience and the stories of other successful people who have fulfilled their goals by allocating their time according to these principles. It is a fun, inspiring, and practical guide that will help men and women of any age, lifestyle, or career get the most out of the time and their lives.

What I know About Getting A Job: Career Advice from the Top Bloggers in Human Resources "The best thing that you can do for your career is to get a strong set of mentors." Penelope Trunk
 Penelope Trunk
"Brazen Careerist exists to give everyone an opportunity to build and nurture a network of trusted peers. Other professional sites allow you to display a network, but not necessarily build one. Microblogging resources like Twitter can tell you who you should network with, but it’s tough to build a real relationship on 140 character missives. And social networks like Facebook are great for having a conversation, but it’s a conversation that employers don’t want to hear. "
Our Exclusive interview with Penelope Trunk is sponsored by Jobs in Pods. "The only podcast where real employers talk about their jobs, and what it's like to work there."

The Referral Engine: Teaching Your Business to Market Itself  John Jantsch
We all know referrals are the most important and effective marketing tool there is -- whether you're promoting yourself (in a job search), or promoting your company or small business. What this book does is help you organize a process for generating referrals: the right referrals. Particularly helpful to me is the chapter on Convergence Strategies and using social media to accelerate and amplify your referral network.
According to Jantsch, most business owners believe that whether customers refer them is entirely out of their hands. But science shows that people can’t help recommending products and services to their friends—it’s an instinct wired deep in the brain. And smart businesses can tap into that hardwired desire.
In the introduction, Jantsch writes, "This book is about referrals, but it offers much more than just another set of tips and tricks for generating new leads. The Referral Engine offers a systematic approach to generating word of mouth as a comprehensive marketing strategy. in a larger sense, it proposes a new and better way of doing business." John delivers on the promise. If your a recruiter, consultant, coach, professional service organization, or in current job search, you need this book!
