This book is a must for ANY job seeker who wants to live & work in California. Out-of-state jobseekers will have a definite headstart by applying the principles in this book BEFORE they move to California. The author, Myrlys Hollis, became a California state civil service employee after being unceremoniously fired from her private sector job with no prior warning & without recourse. Using the techniques she describes in this easy-to-read book, Ms. Hollis has worked her way up from a secretary in civil service to a program analyst in the office of one of California's constitutionally elected office holders. Hollis, who holds a degree in journalism from Howard University in Washington, D.C., has also worked as a newspaper copy editor & reporter.
