"Win the Race for 21st Century Jobs"

What Keith Ferrazzi did for networking with "Never Eat Alone", Rod Colon blows the lid off the job search roller coaster ride with never before revealed secrets contained in "Win the Race for 21st Century Jobs" It's the smart professionals' career management survival guide . Rod Colon states "This isn’t just another book about networking.




This book is about a bold new approach to finding jobs, clients, and business opportunities — as well as performing complete career makeovers. . . . Many people are in pain. Their financial situations are dire. They have lost their jobs, their life savings and in many cases, their self-respect while chasing around to look for a new position."



Since 2004 Empowering Today's Professionals (ETP) Network has helped hundreds of people successfully land jobs and business opportunities. .
