Before attending law school, he was a stockbroker on Wall Street - a job he was fired from at a time when his wife was expecting their first child. Subsequently, he received help from his father-in-law in getting a job. Since then, Flippen has helped over 100 people, including bankers, government officials, lawyers, secretaries, teachers, and recent high school and college graduates, with their job searches. This book is about what has and has not worked in helping others get jobs.
