Step out of the box and help customers create opportunity!
Bissonnette's book and cassettes are a resource that I use frequently in my role as job developer. Although she targets job-hunters with disabilities, Bissonnette's "employment proposal" can be used by any job-seekers - adults, students, dislocated workers, and career-changers. These approaches are solid, easily implemented, effective, and empowering for my customers; lots of information, ideas, inspiration, and simple, effective strategies to help customers to actually create their jobs by learning how to discover opportunities for employment by analyzing their skills and employers' needs.

An Outside the Box Book
Bissonnette has a dynamic way of presenting job development that challenges the reader to think outside the box. The format, including layout, is logical and readable which makes it easy to grasp the concepts. Information presented in this text is not just the traditional scope of job development, but ventures into the creation of job opportunities. Bissonnette accomplishes this by describing the important components and then giving, in some cases, step-by-step instructions on how to plan and execute the development of these opportunities. The utility of this book goes beyond most "how to" books and is useful for a variety of audiences - from job development professionals to individuals seeking help in creating their own jobs. I've used this book in a course I teach within a master's program in rehabilitation counseling.
