Etiquette as a Winning Formula for Job Search Success? Why not? Seventy, that’s right, 70 percent of people lose their jobs because they don’t fit into the work environment. It has become even more difficult to get a job. When John Daly explains to people that the reason they aren’t appearing to “fit in” leads back to their not understanding business and personal etiquette, he’s often met with, “You mean that stuffy, eat-with-the-right-fork stuff?” Far from it. Daly encourages people to think of job hunting as a game. Job hunting depends on knowing the rules of the game. Like playing football, you need to know all the rules, particularly the ones you don’t want to break, such as being out-of-bounds. The point of the game in job searching and in life is to know how to be comfortable and make others comfortable with you in every situation. And that’s why etiquette! So, why are so many people lacking in an understanding of the rules? Daly’s response is simple: No one has ever taught them! Over the past several years, Daly has been mentoring young people in Santa Barbara, California. In the process, he launched The Key Class, a course on business and social manners to help both students and unemployed workers secure jobs and gain college entrance. This book is a compilation of articles he’s written over the past few years, even snagging a few guest bloggers along the way. Get ready to download a winning formula for job search success contained in the pages of this book!

Victoria Marshall didn't cooperate by dying in the Afghani hell-hole like the CIA expected. Defying all probability, a privately-funded black ops group led by a handsome, sexy-as-sin southerner pulled her out of the warlord's prison cell and brought her home. Even half out of her mind with pain Tori knew this man was special. She made a date with the commander to meet one year later at a restaurant of his choice. Keeping that date was the best thing she ever did. Jacob King found little physically attractive about the woman he saved from the warlord’s camp, though it was hard to see what lay under the filth and suppurating wounds she suffered from countless beatings. He admired her brave humor in the face of her agonizing injuries. This kind of tough-minded woman was someone he'd like to know as a friend. He never expected the leggy, blond bomb-shell in the red dress who showed up for their date. But then he never expected she would save his life, either. In a world of shadows, smoke, and dangerous covert missions, where people routinely vanish and living one more day was never a given, Tori and Jacob fight to build their happily ever after.
