Proven techniques for discovering what small business managers want-- and tailoring your resumes and interviews to make the best impression;

"A Big Splash in a Small Pond" will help outplaced corporate employees, recent college graduates, former career military, women returning to the workforce, and frustrated professionals find new opportunities in the workplace of the 1990's.
