The service I received for the first book was very good.However, the service for the second book has been a nightmare.The first shipment was just one day late with the shipping charges.This was not a problem.However, the second shipment has almost been TWO MONTHS with the one day shipping charges. I can't seem to find a customer service email or telephone number to reach you.If you want my business send the book out ASAP life you promised, and I will put all of this in the past. ... Read more

This book is horrible
I bought it as it was required for a class i was taken. 99% of the book is copied from the regulations, the book is cluttered, void of detailed analysis, and dull. It reads like watching concrete set.

Interesting book
This is a book that I am using for an online course I must complete for a college degree. I seems to be very up-to-date and informative. It not to big but it resembles the size of a college textbook and is just about as involved as one. Language is very aviation oriented.

Just Keeps Getting Better!
This is the second edition of this book that I have owned. I used both for undergraduate and graduate classes at Embry-Riddle.

This book just keeps getting better. It serves as a good reference for aviation history in addition to the main subject of Air Transportation.

The author provides a wealth of information but is still easy to understand. The reference material on aircraft and manufacturers towards the end was not expected, but another informative resource, as was the section regarding commercial aviation safety and a number of case studies.

A nice touch is the "Laugh Breaks" between the chapters, which is a collection of different aviation an ATC communications that I have all heard, but only seen for the first time in publication here. They don't add to the professional information, but are nice, short little diversions.

Most textbooks I use for class and then resell. I've kept BOTH copies. The old one I keep at my the hangar, and the newer one I keep at home, to use as references. ... Read more

Product Description
For the first time, a book exists that compiles all the information candidates need to apply for their first Transportation, Distribution and Storage job, or to apply for a better job.

What you'll find especially helpful are the worksheets. It is so much easier to write about a work experience using these outlines. It ensures that the narrative will follow a logical structure and reminds you not to leave out the most important points. With this book, you'll be able to revise your application into a much stronger document, be much better prepared and a step ahead for the next opportunity.

The book comes filled with useful cheat sheets. It helps you get your career organized in a tidy, presentable fashion. It also will inspire you to produce some attention-grabbing cover letters that convey your skills persuasively and attractively in your application packets.

After studying it, too, you'll be prepared for interviews, or you will be after you conducted the practice sessions where someone sits and asks you potential questions. It makes you think on your feet!

This book makes a world of difference in helping you stay away from vague and long-winded answers and you will be finally able to connect with prospective employers, including the one that will actually hire you.

This book successfully challenges conventional job search wisdom and doesn't load you with useful but obvious suggestions ("don't forget to wear a nice suit to your interview," for example). Instead, it deliberately challenges conventional job search wisdom, and in so doing, offers radical but inspired suggestions for success.

Think that "companies approach hiring with common sense, logic, and good business acumen and consistency?" Think that "the most qualified candidate gets the job?" Think again! Time and again it is proven that finding a job is a highly subjective business filled with innumerable variables. The triumphant jobseeker is the one who not only recognizes these inconsistencies and but also uses them to his advantage. Not sure how to do this? Don't worry-How to Land a Top-Paying Transportation, Distribution and Storage Job guides the way.

Highly recommended to any harried Transportation, Distribution and Storage jobseeker, whether you want to work for the government or a company. You'll plan on using it again in your efforts to move up in the world for an even better position down the road.

This book offers excellent, insightful advice for everyone from entry-level to senior professionals. None of the other such career guides compare with this one. It stands out because it: 1) explains how the people doing the hiring think, so that you can win them over on paper and then in your interview; 2) has an engaging, reader-friendly style; 3) explains every step of the job-hunting process - from little-known ways for finding openings to getting ahead on the job.

This book covers everything. Whether you are trying to get your first Transportation, Distribution and Storage Job or move up in the system, get this book. ... Read more
