Howard Figler has expanded his unique program to describe the basic lifetime skills that come into play during any job search.

-- determining how much money is enough money
-- tapping the power of intuition
-- making job offers come to you

Howard Figler knows the right job is out there, and with clarity, humor, and reassuring good sense, he shows you how to find and get it.
