Today's workers are free agents who sink or swim on their own. So what are you going to do about it? Get Free from Corporate America! Jon wrote this book for people like himself - those who want to succeed, but on their own terms. The best way to take control of your future is to adopt an entrepreneurial approach to your career. This does not necessarily mean starting your own business. It does mean developing skills and assets that will improve your position. Free from Corporate America puts business ideas to the ultimate test: will they pay the rent? It's not easy to claim a better life while facing the real-world limitations of time and budget. But if you're tired of "get rich quick" happy talk and need a better way forward, Free from Corporate America is your kind of book.

Some resumes are good, some are bad, and some are simply from Hell. The all-too-real resumes in this book were no doubt written with the best of intentions, but a job search can be a misadventure. A wacky resume is a sure-fire way to derail your job application and slip from the interview pile into the "joke file." In this illustrated "how not to," former recruiters Jon Reed and Rachel Meyers open up their own joke files, and share highlights from the worst (and funniest) resumes they ever received. From "Questionable References" to "Hostile Email Interactions," Jon and Rachel take the reader through more resume mishaps and job search meltdowns than they ever knew existed, sneaking in a bit of job search wisdom on the fly. The resumes in this book have been changed to protect the not-so-innocent, but Resumes from Hell is proof that truth is still stranger - and funnier - than fiction.
