Some factors remain relatively constant from year to year, but others fluctuate greatly due to changes in the job market, technological innovations or current events. Using data from government sources, trade groups and private organizations, every job receives a score and rank in each category, and these ratings are then combined to form a complete ranking of 200 jobs for 2011, from best to worst.

It’s based on the experience my wife had recently. With so many more schools/graduates in DH, the market has become much more competitive.

I’m just hoping to create awareness of these successful strategies my wife used when searching. If you have a place in your association newsletter, website or meetings to make mention of this resource I would greatly appreciate it. The book is on a website I created: http://gethiredrdh.wordpress.com And there are lots of samples and useful links.

Again, the information is free–just hope it helps others as much as it helped my wife.

Thanks,

Doug Perry
