Recognizing Richard Rabbit
A Fable about Being True to Yourself

Peter Weddle


You can learn a lot from animals, especially when you listen with both your heart and your mind.

Recognizing Richard Rabbit is a fable for adults, young and not so young. In the genre of Who Moved My Cheese?, it’s a tale about some forest friends who make an amazing discovery by trying to help one of their own. What do they learn? The key to uncovering your own true self. The secret to authentic living.

Even better, this fable gives you two ways to find the answer: one in fiction, the other in nonfiction. The fable invites you to tap your creative talent, while a parallel self-interview draws on your analytic ability. Each provides a different perspective, a different way of seeing the singular person you are meant to be.

Why bother? Because whether you’re a recent college graduate or a Baby Boomer, a person with ten years of work experience or someone still in school, the foundation for a meaningful and rewarding career is a deep understanding of the real you, the You of your dreams.

WEDDLE’s Guide to Staffing Firms & Employment Agencies
A Practical Path to Full & Part Time Employment


You can find a great job—even in a difficult economy—if you take a different route in the door.

Temporary, contract or part time work may not normally be your cup of tea, but the American Staffing Association reports that a third of those who take such positions are ultimately hired for a full time job by the organization where they were assigned to work. To put it another way, when you’re looking for a new or better job, it often pays to work with a staffing firm to get your foot in the door.

Staffing firms, however, vary widely in the kinds of employers they serve, the kinds of jobs they fill and the locations where they operate. How can you pinpoint which staffing firms will best serve your job search? Get WEDDLE’s Guide to Staffing Firms & Employment Agencies.

This one-of-a-kind guide organizes thousands of staffing firms nationwide by the career fields, industries and geographic locations in which they specialize. Even better, it also provides the URL of their Web-site so that you can contact them without any delay. It’s easy-to-use and it’s effective. The job market is tough right now, and WEDDLE’s Guide to Staffing Firms & Employment Agencies will help you find part time, contract and temporary employment opportunities with great full time employment potential.

Work Strong in Your Pursuit of Happiness
Peter Weddle


Pump up the paycheck and the satisfaction you bring home from work.

This is the ultimate career guide for the 21st Century! The Career Fitness Self-Fulfillment System introduces a one-of-a-kind approach to career self-management. Unlike traditional job search and career books, it not only tells you what to do, but when, where and how to do it in order to achieve meaningful success.

The Career Fitness System is both a philosophy of work and a regimen of activities for implementing that philosophy in your career. The philosophy offers a revolutionary vision of work that will change forever the one-third or more of your life that you spend on-the-job. The regimen provides a unique set of daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly activities that will strengthen your capacity and endurance at work and thus the success you achieve in your career.

Whether you have three decades, thirteen years or thirty minutes of employment experience, this book will change the way you look at your work and what your work does for you. If you’re tired of being the victim of your career rather than in charge of it—if you want your work to bring out the champion who lives inside you—then The Career Fitness Self-Fulfillment System is for you.

The Career Fitness Self Fulfillment System will hit bookstores in October, 2008. You, however, can get your copy before it’s available to the public. Place your pre-publication copy right now and:

  • WEDDLE’s will ship you the book as soon as it comes off press and

  • Peter Weddle will personally sign the book before it’s shipped.

WEDDLE’s 2007/8 Guide to Association Web Sites
3rd Edition

Recruiters regularly visit the Web-sites of professional associations because they believe the best candidates are found there. This is the only Guide available anywhere that will help you determine where those recruiters are going online so you can be there to meet them.

Professional associations and societies are increasingly trying to connect their members with recruiters who have openings to fill. It’s no surprise, therefore, that a growing number of these organizations are adding job boards, resume databases and networking resources to their Web-sites.

There are thousands of national, regional and local associations serving people in every profession, craft and trade, in every industry and location, and representing virtually every affinity and affiliation. The challenge for job seekers, therefore, is to find which associations offer these services and where they are located on the Internet.

Completely updated for this edition, WEDDLE’s Guide to Association Web Sites solves that problem. Compiled in conjunction with the Association for Internet Recruiting, it lists over 1,900 professional, technical and trade associations and indicates what kinds of employment services (i.e., job board, resume database, networking listserv or discussion forum) they provide.

Anyone (and everyone) can find the jobs posted at the largest and best known job boards. This book will ensure that you tap the opportunities that are posted in your particular field or industry. It’s a one-of-a-kind reference for mid-career professionals, managers and executives. Best of all, it’s updated all year long with site information posted at WEDDLEs.com.

'Tis of Thee
A Son’s Search for the Meaning of American Patriotism

  By Peter Weddle

When you sit around the dinner table with your kids, do you ever talk about patriotism? Sure, you know what it feels like, but can you tell them what it means? Do you have the words to describe how patriotism is expressed and why it’s important? If not, T’is of Thee is for you.

On September 11, 2001, the United States of America was attacked by terrorists. For those of us who lived through their horrific acts, the day began bright with hope and possibilities and ended dark with despair and fear.

As with the attack on Pearl Harbor, the day’s events changed the focus of our lives. America was a nation consumed with its Pursuit of Happiness on the morning of September 11th; by the evening of that day, it was united in its determination to protect and preserve Life and Liberty for ourselves and our families, for our present and our future.

This book is about American patriotism. It is an intensely personal book—not unlike Tuesdays With Morrie—written largely in the two years prior to the terrorist assault on this country. It was finished in the week immediately following the attack.

The book recounts the year-long “conversation” between a son and his father, between a living American and one resting in Arlington National Cemetery. Their topics range from the Vietnam War to the American Dream, but always, their conclusion is the same: America is as good, as vibrant, as hopeful as the patriotism of we, its people.
