 Recognizing Richard Rabbit
By Peter Weddle
Recognizing Richard Rabbit is a fable for working adults and those who will be, whether you’re a seasoned pro or a first time job seeker, a college junior or a senior executive. It’s a little book that will have a huge impact on your sense of fulfillment and success in the world of work.
In the genre of Who Moved My Cheese?, this tale recounts the adventures of some forest animals who discover the secret to authentic living. Unlike any other book of its kind, however, it’s a story that’s told in two synchronized journeys: one in fiction—the fable—and the other in nonfiction—a parallel self-interview. Together, they invite you to tap into both your creative and analytic talents and learn how you can become the person of your dreams.
Why is that important? Because the first step toward genuine and enduring happiness is recognizing your own true self. When you express and experience that unique person in your career and your life, you empower yourself to be the best you can be. And it’s that superlative version of yourself who grants you the profound contentment, the deep sense of satisfaction that comes from having fulfilled your destiny.

 WEDDLE’s 2009/10 Guide to Employment Sites on the Internet
WEDDLE’s classic Guide—the gold standard of job board guides—has been completely redesigned to deliver the information you need to survive and prosper in the challenging world of work of the 21st Century.
This one-of-a-kind reference book is now composed of two primary sections, each of which provides invaluable information about job boards and career portals on the Internet:
- The first section of the book—The Top 100—features our picks for the best of the 100,000+ job boards and career portals on the Web. This listing enables you to find the top sites quickly and get the information you need to evaluate them effectively. Rather than lurching through thousands of search engine results, you can now “shop smart” and identify the right employment sites for your requirements right away.
- The second section of the book—The Best & the Rest—is the single most comprehensive listing of employment sites in print. A directory of over 10,000 sites, it enables you to conduct your own research and do so efficiently and with precision. Instead of relying on the hit or miss experiences of friends and coworkers, you can explore the full range of sites that are likely to be helpful to you.
This format provides you with the most complete reference to the Web’s employment resources available anywhere. It continues WEDDLE’s tradition of publishing timely, accurate and useful information that will help you achieve the success you deserve on the Internet.

 WEDDLE's 2009/10 Guide to Association Web Sites
A growing number of professional associations and societies are now offering job search and career management resources on their Web-sites. WEDDLE’s 2009/10 Guide to Association Web Sites makes sure you can find and use them.
Completely updated for this our 4th edition, WEDDLE’s 2009/10 Guide to Association Web Sites is the only reference of its kind in print. It lists the Web-sites of over 3,000 associations and indicates whether they offer a job board, a resume database and a discussion forum or bulletin board for online professional networking. In addition, the book is organized for easy use, listing the sites by occupational field, industry or other work-related specialization served by the association (e.g., diversity, veterans).
Why is this information important? Because employers and recruiters believe that some of the best prospects for their open positions are found among the membership of associations. From their perspective, these individuals have demonstrated both a commitment to self-improvement in their field and a sense of personal responsibility for such development. And those attributes, in turn, enable them to make a superior contribution on-the-job.
So, what should you do? Use WEDDLE’s Guide to find the international, national, regional and state associations that serve your career field, your employment situation (e.g., senior executive, entry level professional, women in technology) and industry. Evaluate the options (again using WEDDLE’s Guide) and join the groups that will best advance your career. Then, put the job search and self-improvement resources of those associations to work for you.

WEDDLE’s Guide to Staffing Firms & Employment Agencies
Temporary, contract or part time work may not normally be your cup of tea, but the American Staffing Association reports that one-third of those who take such positions are ultimately hired for a full time job by the organization where they were assigned to work. To put it another way, when you’re looking for a new or better job, it often pays to work with a staffing firm to get your foot in the door.
Staffing firms and employment agencies, however, vary widely in the kinds of employers they serve, the kinds of jobs they fill and the locations where they operate. How can you pinpoint which will best serve your job search? Get WEDDLE’s Guide to Staffing Firms & Employment Agencies.
This one-of-a-kind guide is easy to use and effective. It enables you to search thousands of staffing firms nationwide by organizing them according to the career fields, industries and geographic locations in which they specialize. Even better, it also provides the URL of their Web-site so that you can then research and evaluate them and contact those that will best serve your employment goals.
Today’s job market is a challenge for everyone. WEDDLE’s Guide to Staffing Firms & Employment Agencies gives you an alternative strategy for success by identifying part time, contract and temporary employment opportunities with great full time employment potential.

'Tis of Thee
A Son’s Search for the Meaning of American Patriotism
By Peter Weddle
 When you sit around the dinner table with your kids, do you ever talk about patriotism? Sure, you know what it feels like, but can you tell them what it means? Do you have the words to describe how patriotism is expressed and why it’s important? If not, 'Tis of Thee is for you.
On September 11, 2001, the United States of America was attacked by terrorists. For those of us who lived through their horrific acts, the day began bright with hope and possibilities and ended dark with despair and fear.
As with the attack on Pearl Harbor, the day’s events changed the focus of our lives. America was a nation consumed with its pursuit of Happiness on the morning of September 11th; by the evening of that day, it was united in its determination to protect and preserve Life and Liberty for ourselves and our families, for our present and our future.
This book is about American patriotism. It is an intensely personal book—not unlike Tuesdays With Morrie—written largely in the two years prior to the terrorist assault on this country. It was finished in the week immediately following the attack.
The book recounts the year-long “conversation” between a son and his father, between a living American and one resting in Arlington National Cemetery. Their topics range from the Vietnam War to the American Dream, but always, their conclusion is the same: America is as good, as vibrant, as hopeful as the patriotism of we, its people.
