When Dr. Phil’s viewers need help turning their job search woes into employment success, he calls in Tony Beshara.
One of the most successful placement professionals in the United States, Beshara knows what works and what doesn’t. In “The Job Search Solution”, he outlines the simple yet powerful system that has helped over 100,000 people land jobs they love.

Featuring interactive exercises, real-life examples, practical Do’s and Don’ts, and other essential tools, the new edition reveals how candidates can create a personal “brand” online, communicate with potential employers via e-mail, and leverage personal stories throughout the interview process. Both practical and empowering, “The Job Search Solution” gives readers the tools they need to get hired in one of the toughest job markets ever.
A People’s History of the United States (4.5/5 stars, currently priced at $2.49)
“It’s a wonderful, splendid book—a book that should be read by every American, student or otherwise, who wants to understand his country, its true history, and its hope for the future.” —Howard Fast, author of Spartacus and The Immigrants
“[It] should be required reading.” —Eric Foner, New York Times Book Review
Library Journal calls Howard Zinn’s iconic A People’s History of the United States “a brilliant and moving history of the American people from the point of view of those…whose plight has been largely omitted from most histories.” Packed with vivid details and telling quotations, Zinn’s award-winning classic continues to revolutionize the way American history is taught and remembered. Frequent appearances in popular media such as The Sopranos, The Simpsons, Good Will Hunting, and the History Channel documentary The People Speak testify to Zinn’s ability to bridge the generation gap with enduring insights into the birth, development, and destiny of the nation.
