Review:
As the Great Recession lingers and the job market remains a dark, dingy, and competitive place, it's becoming more and more clear that things are never going to be as they once wereSmith is, luckily, the perfect person to take readers on this journey. Even the way in which he writes this book, flitting from topic to topic and cramming these 180 pages full of intriguing questions and conversations, makes it clear that Smith is one of the chaos-embracing individuals that define Generation Flux
-Craig Manning, Independent Publisher

As you can see from the title of the book and the four parts, Miles Anthony Smith does not stray away from controversial topics. However, it's not too shocking given the employment issues the United States has been embroiled in for half a dozen years. Smith is part of Generation Flux, and he is sharing his knowledge and advice from the trenches. This is a scary time in history and Smith is bold enough to tell it like he sees it. There's no denying the job market is evolving so do yourself a favor, consider reading this book.
 
-T.B. Markinson
