A Career Book Page Turner

Finally, a career book that focuses on “play your own game” rather than trying to outsmart your competition. According to Dr. Barro’s Right Fit Method, there is no external competition. The only person you will compete with is yourself.
Barro explains her method in an engaging, compassionate, and entertaining style. She entwines real people telling their own personal stories, coupled with her own anecdotes and interactive materials to convey her step-by-step system.
I loved her style. It’s hard to believe that a career book could be a page turner but that’s an apt description of WIN Without Competing! which is a one of a kind in its genre. I highly recommend this book for employees and entrepreneurs who are searching for new solutions at any stage in their lives. It’s always the right time to learn how to “win without competing” to succeed in your professional and personal life.

Dr. Arlene R. Barro's book WIN Without Competing! is a great guide for both
personal and professional advice at all stages of life, from landing your
first job to switching careers. Dr. Barro presents and shows how to apply a new mindset: set a standard against which no one can compete. Compete with yourself, not against others and you will win without competing. The book is divided into four
acts, which help to explain Dr. Arlene's Right Fit Method. This Right Fit
Method, which Dr. Arlene created for her own search
company, helps both employers and people looking for jobs to know which
employee will fit the job. Job searching and interviewing
can be tedious and tiring, but Dr. Arlene gives excellent advice on writing
an effective resume and interviewing so as to present yourself to fit the
job. This book gives people the inspiration to seek out the job
that they will be most happy at, and to achieve that position. I would
strongly recommend WIN Without Competing! Career Success the Right Fit Way
to anyone from a student in college to a person in a later stage in their
career. For employers, WIN Without Competing! is a must to teach them how to hire right fit employees. I believe that anyone can benefit greatly from reading this book.
