Kappesser, a consultant in emotional intelligence, shows general readers how to use concepts and skills of emotional intelligence (EQ) for career growth, focusing on self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and social skills. The book begins with an overview of EQ and why it's important in the job search, then shows how to use EQ to challenge destructive thoughts, understand your own strengths and weaknesses, and change behavior. Ideas move from the internal to the external with advice on how to apply EQ to empathize with employers, communicate and collaborate, handle interview questions, and overcome common job search obstacles. The b&w layout is enlivened by graphics, vignette boxes, frequent headings and bullet points, and reflection exercise worksheets. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
