Good night, Chicago! Thanks to the crowd who braved the traffic President Obama’s visit inspired to join us for yet another SRO appearance at the Borders on North Clark St.

A.J. and company were wonderful hosts, and it was great to meet professionals in one of my favorite parts of the country.

Indeed, the hospitality and graciousness we’ve encountered on every stop of this tour — and the intelligence, determination and wit of our audiences — have confirmed our high opinion of the professionals across this country. You are the stars of the show, and it’s been a pleasure to meet so many of you on this tour.

Here’s hoping to hear your stories soon!

  “Before you start applying for a job, read ‘You’re Better Than Your Job Search”

  —Guy Kawasaki (via Twitter 8/23/10) Managing Director, Garage Technology Ventures; Columnist, Entrepreneur Magazine

  “This is one of the better all-purpose job search guides that takes you through the entire process in an easy-to-digest fashion, and then continues on with you through the first 90 days on the your new job.”

  —Marvin Walberg Columnist, Scripps Howard News Service

  “The best part of ‘You’re Better Than Your Job Search’ is that it speaks to me as a grown-up. There’s tons of to-do’s and tips for job-searching better, but there’s no finger-wagging attitude. Seems like they know their audience is people are actually pretty good at doing things — hard things. We’re not newbies or lost souls; we’re accomplished business people.”

  —Stephen Howard-Sarin Vice President, Business & Finance Brands at CBS Interactive

  “Marc Cenedella and TheLadders have been pioneering the way in job search and career management for the past few years. It’s nice to see that he’s now sharing what he knows with all of us – his colleagues and job seekers worldwide. Read his book carefully, pay close attention to every single thing, and then launch your own successful search campaign!”

  —Wendy Enelow Author, Trainer and Career Consultant

  “Even if you want to believe that you know it all, read this excellent book first: you may be convinced that you are a ‘highly experienced,’ ‘seasoned,’ ‘world-class,’ superlative executive. That’s not enough: Make sure that others are convinced too after you sell them your story!”

  —Marylene Delbourg-Delphis Author, Serial CEO and Entrepreneur
