<p><i>My good friend, Dana Manciagli, ex-Microsoft executive and global career expert, has just written a book that’s soon to become a best seller.  It’s titled <b>Cut the Crap, Get a Job!</b> and is available from </i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Cut-Crap-Get-Search-Process/dp/1935953478/"><i>Amazon.com</i></a><i> in paperback and Kindle format. She is known as “the Jillian Michaels and Suze Orman of careers” and has written a practical book for job seekers ranging from college graduates to senior executives.</i></p>
