The book is now available at Dolly's Book Store. workshops), but I was seeing so many people who needed help, not only in Park City, not only in Utah, but all over the United States," he said. "And in a way I was frustrated. I asked, 'How do I duplicate my efforts so that many people can take advantage of my knowledge?" So, he decided to write a book. "With my blogs already in place, I figured I could write the book in a week." he said. It took him five months "After writing the introduction, I thought, 'This is going to take longer than a week'." he said with a laugh. "Blogs weren't going to make the book. And I found while the blogs are a good outline, there was so much more information I needed to add to make them into chapters." By April, Humbert had written a couple of chapters and decided to shop the book to publishers. A new company, Corridor Media Group, liked what they saw and made him a deal. "I found later that Corridor was shopping another book out to distributors and the distributors asked if they have other authors. They told them about my book and they wanted it," Humbert said.

"What a lot of people dont understand is recruiting is a sales process both on a corporate side and candidate side," Humbert said. "Most first jobs are with fast-food restaurants or the supermarket.

"After people graduate from college, they tend to remember that initial successful experience of finding a job, but all of a sudden they're in a professional setting and all the rules have changed." Humbert's book advises how candidates can sell their attributes to succeed within the new situation. "Its so important for kids coming out of college to have some sort of guidance," he said. "They are graduating with $20,000, $40,000 and $125,000 loan debts. If they don't pay, they default." Throughout his life, Humbert has held a number of jobs. He sold insurance. He worked in construction as an assistant project manager, a general contractor and field superintendent. He also sold fertilizer. "Within 10 years I had five jobs in different careers," he said. "But there isnt anywhere else I can make the impacts in both companies and in people's lives that I can as a recruiter. And since I can't be in more places, I decided to write the book."
