My New Video Course: Career Success, Step by Step

Today, my video course, Getting to Career Success, Step by Step, is available HERE.  I believe you'll find it very helpful while being at least moderately entertaining.  

Per a commenter below, while it was created for people wanting career help, it would also be very valuable for career coaches and counselors, especially those who have clients aren't just looking for help on their current job, but also those trying to choose a career or land a job.

In any event, I'm offering readers of my blog a 50% discount, which makes the course just $75.  To get the discount, use the coupon code FriendsofNemko.
