This may well be the greatest collection of software ever compiled.
The PC-SIG Library on CD-ROM is our premier collection of the entire
PC-SIG library. Every shareware program we have is on one disc; over
900 megabytes of software you can have immediate access to.
Easy to use, all you have to do is insert the disc and type 'INSTALL' at
the DOS prompt. We've included all the tools you need for fast easy
access to the programs and their descriptions.
The WordCruncher text retrieval software allows you to quickly access
the description for any program you want. All the programs are indexed
by title, filename, PC-SIG disk number, and every word within the
program description. There couldn't be an easier way to find just the
right program. All the programs are logically divided into thirteen
major categories with subcategories, making it easier to find just the
right software.
All of the programs have been scanned for viruses. There are also three
online virus utilities that can be run from the CD-ROM which will scan,
screen and clean viruses. Not only does this save hard disk space, but
also gives every user added security from viruses.
Whether you're interested in Accounting or Windows, there's a shareware
program for you on the PC-SIG Library on CD-ROM.
Winner of the Optical Publishing Assn's Best Consumer Product Award.

Finally, 368 of the most useful, popular, important shareware programs
have been put together on one CD. No matter what your need, it's on The
Essential Home & Business Collection. Everything from Administration to
Windows software is here.
The Essential CD incorporates the WordCruncher text retrieval system.
Every program on the disc is indexed by title, filename, PC-SIG disk
number, and every word in the program description. A new utility, Narc,
is implemented so you can look at the program files and the author's
on-line documentation without having to first copy the program to your
hard disk. By using WordCruncher and Narc, you can quickly find the
program you want and review it to be sure, without ever having to run it
from your hard disk.
If you've got a CD-ROM player at home and want to get more use of it and
your computer, or if you're trying to avoid purchasing another Nintendo
cartridge, or if you just enjoy looking at new software, you need The
Essential Home & Business Collection.
System Requirements:

Welcome to the world of Shareware, state of the art software you can
actually try before you buy.
Shareware, a term coined in the early eighties, refers to the method of
distribution chosen by the software authors. With shareware, you can
receive a program and put it through its paces without having to pay for
it. If you find the program useful, and choose to keep the program, then
you pay a modest registration fee to the author.
For the last nine years, PC-SIG has been providing shareware and public
domain software to its customers and members. Since 1982 PC-SIG has
developed an unprecedented library of shareware programs, constantly
updated, consistently strong in every category. Our library of
shareware contains over 3500 titles divided into 120 logical categories.
Every program we add to the library is thoroughly reviewed and tested to
insure that each one meets the high standards of reliability and value we
insist upon and you expect. As a result, our library doesn't contain
every shareware program available, just those that really work.
PC-SIG has grown into the premier distributor of shareware and and
shareware information by producing shareware collections on CD-ROM,
publishing an encyclopedia of shareware, and by publishing Shareware
Magazine, a bi-monthly magazine distributed world-wide.
Quality and support - guaranteed. All of our programs are guaranteed
virus free. We've isolated our systems and check every program
submitted to insure that no viruses make their way to your computer or
ours.
Our support staff is available by phone as well as on our BBS to help
you with questions about installation and operation of PC-SIG's
products.
Through our network of international distributors, PC- SIG strives to
bring you the most current, exciting, technically advanced software
available as shareware.
If you can't find the software you need in PC-SIG's library, it may well
not exist.

Looking for Work
An Interactive Guide to Marketing Yourself
version 2.0
Copyright (c) 1987, 1988, 1992, 1993 InterDigital, Inc.
Suggested BBS name: WORK2
A shareware program from InterDigital

------------------------------------------------------------------
General Description
------------------------------------------------------------------
Looking for Work is an interactive guide for professionals and
managers seeking to change or find employment. It is a step-by-step
aid in planning and mounting an effective marketing campaign. It
contains six units and almost two dozen worksheets, checklists and
models to structure and guide the search for a new job.
The program's theme is that a job search is a marketing campaign -
one that requires planning, analysis, targeted markets, and
commitment to a schedule of tasks and activities. Using sound training
principles, the program provides an introduction to a job search, a
substantial amount of guidance in analyzing one's "natural" market,
and considerable direction and structure in carrying out the many
tasks and activities of an efficient campaign. It not only shows one
how to go about it but through a series of exercises and worksheets,
takes the user through the process. When that user completes the
program, he/she will have a list of potential employers, a resume, a
core marketing letter, and will be well-prepared for job interviews.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Directions
---------------------------------------------------------------------
To start the program, type WORK, then hit <Enter>. The program will
ask you to sign in. When you finish a unit and exit, your progress
will be stored in a file. When you sign in subsequently, the program
will take you directly to the next unit, or to a menu.
If you wish to run the program from your hard disk, you must use a
text editor to make a change in the CONFIG file. In line 16 of that
file, you need to insert the path (drive and directory) where you
have copied the program. For example, if you copy the files to the
"STUFF" directory on your C drive, line 16 of the config file should
look like this: C:\STUFF. Save this as an ASCII file and start the
program. If you do not make this change, you will get an error message
saying the program can't find the CNT file.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Target audience, Objectives & Content
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Target audience: The intended audience consists of professional and
managerial personnel who are seeking to change jobs or who have
been laid-off or fired. Many have never been through a job search
before and need substantial help on even the most basic tasks and
activities. Others may have changed jobs several times, but need a
systematic approach and step-by-step guidance. Most people put too
much emphasis on the resume and not enough on networking and on a
series of marketing letters. Almost nobody prepares adequately for
interviews, which is the most crucial step in the process.
Objectives: Users will be able to organize and carry out an effective
job search campaign, including in-depth analysis of work history,
a solid core resume & marketing letters sent to appropriately targeted
prospective employers, and preparation for detailed interviews. Users
will analyze their own financial situation and work history, and will
readily identify industries and firms which represent the highest
likelihood of a match with the job specifications.
Specifically, the program will:
1) Assist the user in developing a personalized plan, including a
time-table and specific activities;
2) Review and analyze the user's financial resources, time frame and
other constraints;
3) Provide step-by-step guidelines, checklists and criteria for
developing lists of target companies and other sources;
4) Provide forms, information and guidance in preparing a detailed
employment history;
5) Step-by-step instructions in preparing industry-specific resumes
and marketing letters;
6) Week-by-week lists of tasks and activities, and milestones with
which to assess progress.
Program features:
Multi-track: Because the strategy and timing are likely to differ for
people in different circumstances, the program queries the user and
directs him or her to a track based on the following information: age,
income, current employment status, motivating factors, willingness to
relocate, and level in the organization.
Structured activities, analysis & guidelines: The program uses a variety
of worksheets, checklists and exercises, creative instructional
techniques to guide an analysis of his/her personal situation, a very
detailed work history, systematic listing (using SIC codes) of related
industries and firms, and step-by-step instructions on the preparation
of the core resume and several marketing letters.
While most users will proceed through the program in linear fashion,
experienced job hunters can use the software as a reference work,
skipping some sections to concentrate on areas where they need help.

DISCLAIMER
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Users of Looking for Work must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
"Looking for Work" is supplied as is. The author disclaims all
warranties, expressed or implied, including without limitation,
the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose.
The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or consequen-
tial, which may result from the use of Looking for Work.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
OTHER INFORMATION
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Looking for Work is a shareware program and is provided at no charge
to the user for limited evaluation. You may share it with friends,
but please do not give it away altered or as part of another system.
The essence of user-supported software is to provide personal
computer users with quality software without high prices, and yet to
provide incentive for programmers to continue to develop new products.
If you use this program beyond a cursory examination, you should feel
honor-bound to make the $29 registration payment. The registration fee
will license one copy for use on any one computer at any one time. Pay-
ment of that fee will bring you two additional lessons: (1) using
on-line resume banks and job databases and, (2) preparing for interviews.
You must treat this software just like a book. An example is that this
software may be used by any number of people and may be freely moved
from one computer location to another, so long as there is no possibil-
ity of it being used at one location while it's being used at another --
just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the same time.
Commercial users (outplacement firms, employers, etc.) of Looking for Work
must register and obtain a site license within 30 days of first use if
they intend to use or distribute copies of Looking for Work, or this
examination license is withdrawn. A site-license is available to career
consulting and outplacement firms at a one-time fee of $2,500. Members
of the International Association of Career Consulting Firms are entitled
to additional benefits. For information, write or phone InterDigital.
Anyone distributing Looking for Work for any kind of remuneration must
contact InterDigital for authorization. This authorization will be
granted automatically to distributors recognized by the ASP as adhering to
its guidelines for shareware distributors, and such distributors may begin
offering Looking for Work immediately. (However, InterDigital must still
be advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest
version of Looking for Work.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
LIST of FILES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
These files make up the Looking for Work program:
WORK.EXE The "engine" that drives the program
CONFIG Enables one to adjust to different hardware
MOD#n.LSN Content files for each unit
MOD#n.CNT Directory for each unit
WORK.LSN The inital module in the program
WORK.CNT The contents directory for the first module
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
BENEFITS of REGISTRATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Educational programs are like games -- few users bother to pay the
registration fee, no matter how modest it is. As an incentive to do so,
InterDigital will send a registered copy (without "beg" screens) which
includes two additional lessons: (1) Making use of on-line job banks and
modifying your resume for computer-based resume databases; (2) Preparing
for interviews. There is material in this version on getting ready for
interviews, but work with several career consulting firms during the
year enabled us to enrich it enormously -- to the point where it is now
a separate unit loaded with practical advice and activities for the
serious applicant.
Employers and providers of outplacement and career counseling services
may find that the program saves them substantial time and introduces a
high measure of consistency and professionalism in dealing with clients.
They may wish to have InterDigital customize the program with their
firm's name and with other information. Any commercial use of Looking
for Work without payment of a licensing fee is a violation of copyright.
InterDigital will customize the program for outplacement and career
counseling firms and employers for a modest fee.

Shareware Magazine has distinguished itself as the only internationally
distributed periodical devoted to the use and business of shareware.
Shareware Magazine provides detailed reviews of new products,
hard-hitting comparisons of shareware programs with regular retail
software, and timely information about changes in the industry and the
latest technology.
Intriguing columnists and regular features add to the excitement. The
beginners section sheds light on new user's concerns regarding
everything from choosing the right operating system to alleviating the
intimidation of using on-line systems.
Educational sections focus on how low cost shareware can aid in
classroom learning, curriculum development, and as a forum for
discussing the impact of computers and technology in schools.
Graphics Gallery renders expert advice and suggestions on how to better
work with graphics, desktop publishing, CAD systems, and the Windows
environment.
Programmers benefit from others experience in developing new programs or
polishing existing ones as well as choosing the right programming
language.
And columnists provide that subjective component, sometimes
controversial, that calls for a closer look at the way we compute and
how shareware effects what we do.
Published bimonthly, Shareware Magazine is available on a subscription
or at your local newsstand or computer bookstore. In conjunction with
PC-SIG, there are special benefits for subscribers as well as
opportunities for discount purchases from PC-SIG.
