There are an unending multitude of books and other resources for job seekers, the unemployed, and those in transition. You can easily spend countless hours and weeks reading these books and resources available on the Internet. In some instances, the information will appear to be contradictory and create confusion. To make matters worse, you are right where you started: a resume that remains unread, missed opportunities to network, and wondering how to use LinkedIn. In order to succeed and compete in this fierce job market, you simply cannot afford to pause the search to figure out how to escape the 9-5 for a 4-hour workweek. You need real solutions and you need them fast.

Graham Plaster, former U.S. Navy Foreign Area Officer and currently CEO of The Intelligence Community, LLC, provides all the information you will need in his book, Hacking the Job Search. If you are a job seeker, unemployed, or in transition you are not alone. Graham was in your shoes not too long ago, as he was unemployed, head of a single income household with four kids, and relied heavily on dwindling savings with his transition from the military to the civilian life. He knows how rough it is out there and he genuinely wants you to be successful job seeker.

The book is concise and broken down into 5 steps: know your niche, perfect your pitch, curate your list, leverage weak ties, and manage opportunities. It is packed with excellent tips and real-world examples, such as how to find your strengths and weaknesses, the importance of a profile picture, how to make connections with the right people, and how to create a simple values matrix. What also makes this book stand out is that it can be quickly digested, as it contains less than 61 pages.

This book helps ease the monumental transition from Avid to FCP.  It is definitely a must for anyone going through the change, but becomes less useful once you get the hang of FCP.  Once you are through the transtion, then get the book Final Cut Pro 5 for Mac, which answers the rest.

This book I could only find used, it is not easy to come by...

Church transitions are always tricky. This is a great resource for walking a church through this difficult process. It starts by focusing the change agents on spiritual and relational vitality which is so very necessary for successful change.

If you are a task oriented individual like me who has a tendency to just get to work on the nuts and bolts this book is invaluable. Following it will help you avoid some serious (even catastrophic) mistakes. I've used it with several churches and highly recommend this product.

This is a self-help book with a Christian slant on how to navigate transitions well  and it is SO good. Although this is written primarily for Christian workers who are moving abroad (or back home after time abroad), I would want to make this gem of a book required reading for anyone who is moving job and home, because so many of the principles are universal. It could have been titled Finishing Well, because it focuses primarily on often-neglected endings rather than beginnings, and really helps with navigating those stressful months as you prepare to leave for somewhere new. I found the chapters on grief and working through the messy emotions especially helpful, but it was all really good stuff. Theres a real need for this kind of book, and Ive never read anything that covers this topic so well.

Amy Young is a brilliant and engaging Bible teacher, a highly-qualified counsellor, a wonderful writer, and has spent twenty years working abroad, so she is the perfect person to write this book. My advice? Get it before you move, so that you have time to absorb the good advice. This is one I will be gushing about and recommending to anyone whos thinking of moving house or job and wants to finish well.

If you are looking for precise entry, and more importantly, exit criteria for iron condors, butterflies, diagonal and calendar spreads, then this book is for you. Well worth it!!

After not doing any HTML programming for more than a decade I tried using some Lynda.com videos to get caught up on HTML5 and CSS and found the structure of their programs to be very counter-intuitive and frustrating. I felt like I was being thrown into something without the proper background and it was difficult to understand why I was learning what I was learning at any given time.

After seeing all the positive reviews for this book I decided to give it a try instead and could not be happier. The layout makes sense and the chapters gradually build on the skills you learned in the last section so you always understand why each new bit of code you are leaning is important and where it fits in the overall design of the page.

An excellent beginner or refresher book in HTML & CSS. I would recommend it to anyone.

Excellent didactic from grip through follow through.  This book simplifies the swing to its bare essentials.  Excellent anecdotes and swing drills included.  Most impressive to me is his criticism of  Ben Hogan's classic "Five Step" book with reference to the shoulder plane during the swing and how it forced his swing as a young man to be too upright.  This book is not for the 25 or above handicapper simply because the numerous descriptions and examples would probably hurt a very-high handicapper  rather than help him/her.  But for those below a 25, who are familiar with golf lingo, this book provides excellent structure for working on one's swing.

This book is by no means exhaustive in its treatment of the subject matter, but it is an excellent place to begin to get the steps down with a few key examples. This is exactly what the author intended, and she achieves her aim exceedingly well. Even providing links to her website and templates to get you started.

As a blogging fan, I finally decided that it is time to get serious.  This book is helping me go from wannabe to established blogger.  Ms. Getgood does an excellent job in two areas - the step by step process and the expectations.

For the step by step process, Professional Blogging for Dummies starts with planning - discovering your niche.  This makes sense because before you blog, you should know what you want to blog about.  Planning not only includes blog design and host, but also copyright, legal, and accounting considerations.  This is after all, about professional blogging.

About expectations - this does take time.  A good blog takes about a year or two for developing and establishing a presence.  That news is refreshing compared to the get rich quick stories we hear.

Our family uses this as a reference tool often, and will continue to do so with the new edition when it is released in the summer of 2012.

While Front Page has been a favored WYSIWG for many years, it was highly criticized by many for its "unique" code and lack of strong CSS support.  Now with Expression Web, users can start gaining a better understanding of actual code and really harness the power of CSS.

This book takes a very hands-on approach to take the user step-by-step (just as the title promises) through the use of this popular program.  It's self-paced layout and accompanying CD is well thought out and easy to understand.  Great for novices but a good resource for anyone who wants to learn more about Expression Web.

I just finished reading this book and I absolutely love it.  Finally a book about diastasis recti that clearly explains the biomechanical reasons why it's not going away.  There are many stretches and exercises in this book and, at first glance, they look easy.  Ha.  They have been very challenging for me.  I had no idea how tight my muscles were nor how much those tight muscles were pulling on my abdomen.  I also had no idea how poor my alignment was - just working on that alone is challenging.  But I feel like I am now headed in the right direction.  Thank you, Katy, for your clear explanations, your humor (which makes this book fun to read), and for giving attention to this issue which affects so many.  I feel hopeful now!
UPDATE:  I've been following this program for almost 3 months and I am seeing improvement.  DR is smaller and connective tissue has gone from deep to medium.  My alignment has improved, too.  It's much more automatic now,

Overcoming Gravity is Steven Low's attempt to change how people see gymnastics and bodyweight training progressions since there isn't much information available on this field. His book seems to be the first book that actually covers programming for basic, intermediate and advanced bodyweight skills with a clear, no-nonsensical and easy to understand approach. Unlike the other authors who wrote on this subject, Low's writing not only covers programming and progressions, but also exercise phisiology, how to approach injuries and lifestyle factors (nutrition, sleep, etc).
The core of the book - which is the exercise description and workout programming - is superb. The illustrations are accurate and its description make it even more clear. After reading the programming chapters anyone can write down a balanced routine directed toward their own goals.
Most people who read Christopher Sommer's Building the Gymnastic Body had the frustrating experience of coming across a lack of information and lots of references to non-existant books which should complement it. This doesn't happen with Overcoming Gravity, which delivers all the information it has committed to.

I definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in gymnastics and bodyweight strength training.

I am preparing a Certification program for a new and expanding technical field, needing to get ramped up quickly and show some results.  This book has the content and direction to help get you started quickly and give you an overview of the topics you'll be most interested in addressing right up front.  The Job Aids are printed in the book, but you can get them from the author for an additional fee.  This book won't do the work for you, but it will certainly guide you in the right direction.
