I just wanted to share a couple things with you. Your book has really changed my job search around! I have landed over five interviews with some pretty great companies, and they all look very promising. Every interviewer has commented on my resume. I have used your idea of creating a "brag book" as a leave-behind and have received an overwhelmingly positive response from the interviewers, many commenting that they loved the idea and that I was the first to ever utilize that tactic. Your advice has set me apart from the competition and I appreciate your help.
I also want to share a quick story with you. You advise to prepare, prepare, prepare. You said to create my "interview kit" supplied with such items as breath mints, extra resumes, an extra shirt just in case I had an accident before getting to the interview, etc. Well... I went out to Philadelphia for an interview last week and brought my interview kit with all of these necessities. On the way down to the interview I spilled coffee all over my white shirt...lucky for me I had my back up, right? Wrong. I left the darn shirt at home. Lesson learned, it is not just good enough to listen to your advice, I must follow through with it, too. Luckily I followed another golden nugget of your advice, was an hour early, and found a CVS with a stain removing pen.
In all honesty, JP, your book has been my interviewing Bible. For someone that has never had to go through the job hunt process, The Bliss List has been an absolute God-send. Everything, from the interview questions with example answers to advice about sending thank-you emails, has truly proven to be outstanding advice. I will continue to recommend your book to everyone I know getting out of the Army or contemplating making a career move. Thanks again for all of your help and I look forward to talking to you again.

…The Bliss List drastically changed my perspective on my career advancement. I came back to work with a new attitude and a spirit of gratitude.
I would highly recommend the book to others. I’ve bought ten copies (including the Journal) and that has been my gift of choice for birthdays, anniversaries and “just because I was thinking of you." I can only imagine how much more productive we can be as an organization if the associates were happy!
Thank you so much… I appreciate you more than you will ever know.
