With All the Bad News About the Loss of Hi-Tech Jobs, Who Still Says You CAN Find a Computer Job in this Economy? The 191-page, 2003 Bonus Edition of The Underground Guide to Finding a Computer Job & Earning Your IT Certifications on a Shoestring

The early edition of The Underground Guide may still be obtained elsewhere online for $19.95, but the UPDATED 2003 edition is only available as a BONUS for subscribing to TightwadTechs FREE newsletter at http://www.tightwadtech.com

The problem with searching for a hi-tech job is that mass-market résumé and job search guides are exactly that-mass market. Mass market stuff is usually too general to be useful for very long. The Underground Guide, on the other hand, is grounded in the experience of job seekers who actually found employment or built computer-related businesses.

Heres just a few of the job hunting secrets revealed in The Underground Guide:

*How to consistently enlist the element of chance in your job search

*The secret to establishing emotional response connections with prospective employers

*The vital secret of avoiding career missteps that most technicians neglect

*How to find computer job openings that others miss

*How to avoid the eleven biggest mistakes that people make on hiring interviews

*Three hallmarks of job offers that you need to ignore

*Little-known techniques to add influential third-party endorsements to your résumé

*How to harness the power of an old idea to bullet-proof your interview performance

*How to summon the newsgroups to your aid

In this job market sometimes the best job is a job that you create for yourself, and many underground strategies unleash potent marketing angles for aspiring entrepreneurs:

*How to get your share of government contracts

*How to use press releases and little-known seminar techniques to generate free or low-cost publicity

*How to turn the referral paradox to your advantage

*How to use an inexpensive technique to harvest customer good will for your business
