The Rapid Guide to Financial Aid is the most clear and concise financial aid guide available in the industry today. Words cannot express how valuable this information is. We are proud to partner with Rapid Guide to get this information into the hands of every middle and high school student in our state.
Prior to becoming a Rapid Guide customer, we did not have the capability of providing such clear and concise information.
We intend to use the Rapid Guide during our middle and high school financial aid awareness events. We also intend to provide this information to our financial aid office partners in our local Colleges and Universities so that they may share this information with their students, as well.
The staff at Rapid Guide has been a pleasure to work with! |

| The Rapid Guide is a valuable and cost effective way for our office to market our services and provide students with a substantial tool that they will keep and use for a long time. Previous to distributing Rapid Guides, we simply used copied handouts that were tossed away almost as soon as the student received them.
We intend to expand the use of the Rapid Guide to not only graduating seniors, but to first year students during orientation, workshops and students enrolled in our Career Exploration courses. We plan to re-order the Rapid Guides again next year. |

This job guide has valuable information for candidates seeking employment. We see candidates who have sold multi-million dollar deals to top-level executives but still fail to present themselves well to a perspective employer. In a good economy, previous success might be all you need to get another job offer. When the economy slows down, a candidate must be able to articulate not only the successes they've had but also how they can use those successes in the future. A candidate must 'sell himself' in an interview with the same preparation and aggressiveness as he would sell a product. You would be shocked if you knew how many senior sales people forget the BASIC rules of an interview.
The Rapid Guide to Job Hunting outlines these basic interviewing rules in an easy-to-follow format. You might laugh at some of the obvious 'Tips'. If you spent a few days as a recruiter listening to the sales executives tell you why they've eliminated 9 of the last 10 people they interviewed, you would understand the importance of these reminders for prospective candidates. Anyone preparing for a job search will benefit from the advise shared in this book. |

In this age of technology, students know they can obtain information on practically any issue on the Internet. The question is, are they experienced enough to know what is good advice and what is not? In my experience, the answer is "No." We purchased the Rapid Guide to Job Hunting Guide because we needed a high quality job search tool we could provide to graduating seniors that they would use while they looked for a job and take with them when they left the university. We chose the Rapid Guide to Job Hunting Guide for that tool because we feel that it does a great job of hitting all the major job search issues.
The Rapid Guide to Job Hunting Guide provides practical, timely, effective information on the job search process that most students do not know. Most students are intelligent, competent individuals. They just need to be pointed in the right direction and shown how to position themselves in the market place. The Rapid Guide to Job Hunting Guide does all this and more! |

| We often find that students and parents don't understand the financial aid resources available to them. Many think they can't qualify for assistance - others just don't understand the process. The Rapid Guide to Financial Aid helps our students and their parents learn about all financial aid, scholarships, loans, grants and more. The process, forms, tips, and resources are all outlined. The information is clear, comprehensive, and easy to follow. We truly believe the Rapid Guide helps our students find financial assistance that might otherwise go undiscovered. For students and parents, this differentiates our college from others and helps in retention. |

| Rapid Guides are an important part of our presentation package. We also provide them at our on-site Transition Centers when employers have
layoffs or close down. Rapid Guides provide all the necessary information workers need for employment topics in a condensed and handy format. A lot of information in a small package! |

| The information provided in the guides we find to be beneficial to ALL job seekers everywhere. The material is presented not only in a handy format but actually assists and guides job seekers through every vital aspect of their job search. The fact that it is customized makes it a terrific marketing tool for any center as well as being a great instructional workbook. |

| The Rapid Guide was a fantastic supplement to the materials we routinely use in our office. It was something new and different, and yet totally relevant. The small size made it perfect for sending to seniors, and we have really enjoyed the response to the guide! |

| In today's job market, students present themselves as prepared academically, but the practical knowledge of the job search is oftentimes overlooked. The Rapid Guide to Job Hunting provides that practical knowledge in a concise, attractive, and comprehensive package. In this time of tightening budgets, this is one publication that deserves expenditure. It's a practical 'one stop shop' for persons seeking employment. I recommend it to all job seekers!
