principles they learned:

"This book was probably
the best one I have ever read while
searching for a job."
Hi, Joe:
First of all, your book
"Job Search Secrets Unlocked" is awesome. I had
two interviews today at the
same place, for different positions. The second
interview went very well, and I was
offered the job on the spot. I
start tomorrow morning at 8am. This book was
probably the best one I have ever read while
searching for a job. It's been about three
weeks, since I received your book, but just
finished the part on interviewing
yesterday.
Thanks again,
Dee

"landed a new job within
3 weeks..."
Hi Joe
I read all of your book and have
landed a new job within 3
weeks. It seamed that everytime I was
going for an interview, one of your tips came
across my mind- I would incorporate the tip in
my interview process.
Thank you for the book- I have passed it on to
my daughter- who has also landed a new job.
Sincerely,
Myrna F.-----new in North Carolina.

Joe--
My heartfelt thanks and appreciate go to you
for your timely words of wisdom, suggestions
and tips. These came just at the right time for
me. I had been laid off from my job and spent
the next two weeks trapped in sorrow, and
having the biggest pity party for myself. I'm
not sure how I got on your mailing list but
thank god I did. I found myself eagerly looking
forward to your daily email in my in box and
read it through and through, linking out to
other articles.
I took the bull by the horns with my resume and
cover letter, and focused on disecting the
positive about it, and throwing out the
negative. As a result of my resume re-vamp, my
phone and email box or now busy. The benefits
of networking with colleagues, neighbors,
friends, members of professional groups I
belong to, etc and leads---good leads and
connections are pouring in.
I got a job offer yesterday which I did --in
the meantime, I am continuing to interview
(have one today and several next week), and if
a better offer comes along I will consider
it.
Once again, thank you sooooooooooo very much
for your very valuable information---PRICELESS
as they say.
Thank you so much for getting me out of the
slumps and on with my action plan. I knew all
along I could do it--you just gave me that
extra little kick in the arse that I needed to
get myself moving.
Regards,
Heather Donnelly

Dear Mr. Turner:
I've read your blog and e-newletters for about
a year and YOUR ADVICE WORKS!
I am finishing my Ph.D. and, living in the
Washington DC area, I wanted to apply my skills
and training in a federal job. But the federal
world is a tough nut to crack and, although
there are many jobs, getting hired is a
difficult, extensive process.
I didn't know if your techniques would work in
the federal system but, while working as a
temporary contractor at SAMHSA, I tried them
anyway.
Because of your suggestions and approach, I
could literally BYPASS the sluggish federal
system and collaborate with decisionmakers to
get me hired into the perfect federal job
quickly.
Thank you for sharing your advice with us and
encouraging us to believe there is a better way
to find a job.
Thanks again,
Michelle Carnes

Joe,
Good news. I secured my summer internship at
Chevron Corp. I will be in their headquarters
office at San Ramon, CA.
I must acknowledge that your tips, advice and
methodology has immensely helped me. Just
before interview day, I received your email on
"28 questions to ask to interviewer" and I
couldn't have asked for more. Again, what you
say just happened to me and I was so
comfortable during interview having done the
homework right.
Thank you so much Joe !

Dearest Joe,
Wow! I'm so pleasantly surprised to have first,
just noticed you actually responded to my
'desparate plea' for some of your valued
commentary...and second, to recognized that you
actually read and responded to my
email with such direct candor, insight, and as
far as I'm concerned, absolutely terrific
advice!
Thanks so much Joe. To read what you had to say
in relation to my many challenges,
accomplishments and future potential, let alone
love for life and burning desire to contribute
what I know I can and have to date...I believe
you've helped me reaffirm my own sentiments,
which are too, along the same lines as your
wife's (don't think too small)...

Joe,
I just landed what I think is a great job in
sales advertising thanks to all your email
help. I was able to better prepare for the
interview and the questions asked in the
interview. Your direct answers and tips were
very timely for me. The little things like the
chat links that are in your emails were of
great help. I read through all kinds links and
the questions and answers that people posted. I
learned a lot of valuable information on how to
sit, dress, how gestures are interpreted and
how people answered those tough questions, like
your strenghts and weaknesses, some were pretty
funny.
I will pass on your information to anyone I
come across looking for help. Your emails were
a life saver for me. I was in the same job for
23 years. These new fangled job search ways and
rules totally passed me by, I was lost and
didn't even know it : ). I am in my late
forties with a son in college and a mortgage. I
was out of work and looking for 2 years, it's
not the greatest market for someone my age
looking to (anywhere close to) replace my past
income to just be able to survive, plus I have
wrist problems due to my last job (thank you
very much). I am very thankful that I came
across your information and deceided to give it
a try. My families 2007 is going to be
great!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and
your family,

Hello Joe Turner,
I totally impressed by your well-written
articles and practical
information; I've forwarded your Website onto
my friends and daughters, who are either
job-seeking or interviewing others for jobs.
Either side of the desk, your information is
priceless!

Dear Mr. Turner:
I am switching careers…
I have felt like a piece of dirt for the past 7
months. I can't type,
I have no fungible skills etc.
Your points have made me laugh, made sense, and
calmed me down about
my prospects.
I'm still a pretty hard sell, but I'm fairly
sure an HR person with flexibilty and
imagination will be interested. I no longer
feel I'll be working at a fast food place with
a Masters degree, or be cleaning houses.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I have 2
very good interviews
coming up tomorrow and will use all your tips.
And although I don't
have a job in sight I believe a decent one is
waiting for me.
I know you probably prefer to sell books than
get compliments, but I'm
grateful for the free bits I've seen.
Thank you for your generosity

I have just changed jobs, was
in terrific form during the interview and
managed to shake off fierce competition from
otherwise better qualified and experienced job
seekers.
Thank you so much for the courses, they're
quite helpful

Joe, Thank you for providing
the job tips.
"The five questions that you must answer" were
all asked during my interview. Thanks to you I
was well prepared. I followed up with a
thank-you card, with a note similar to your
suggestion.
Thanks again

Hi Joe,
Is this really you? If so, I am honored that
you
responded to my questions at all, especially
with such
an in-depth reply.
I can relate to the "tell a story" part. I
found this
method to work best when I had to do
numerous
presentations in college. I would get so
discombobulated I would sometimes skip class
the day a
presentation was due. This action, or lack
thereof,
hurt my grade and my self esteem.
I finally mastered the problem by turning
something
impersonal into something personal, making it
my own,
therefore relevant and easy for me to talk
about. I
was able to present without notecards or any
type of
prompts, other than PowerPoint.
I kept my audience involved and I kept their
attention
to the end. I even had audience participation!
Go
figure. I felt like a winner!
Why not take this same mindset into
interviews?!
I'll start doing individual company research
using the
tools you suggest. It is a more sensible,
proactive
approach. I feel empowered and somewhat in
control
already.
Your help is much appreciated.
Warmest Regards,
Bernadette Butler

Hi Mr Joe,
Thank you for the free e course.
Undoubtedly they are all really informative,
interesting and useful esp the tips relating to
the use of keywords in the resume and the
advantage of being the last person to be
interviewed.
Let me also thank you for the attached mail
below which shows that your aim is not about
making money but genuinely helping out job
seekers like me.
With warm regards,
Premkumar
