I wish I were, but I'm not the author of this book, my friend Tammy Lenski is. I have merely provided my review of it. I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling in the job market. This is one of the problems our field faces -- there simply aren't enough opportunities available for professionals in the ADR field, and the market is highly competitive. Have you followed up with the university you earned your degree from? What resources do they offer alumni like yourself? Have you availed yourself of their career services office? They helped you acquire your degree -- hopefully they should be able to assist a graduate of one of their programs. I would begin there. Best of luck, Darran. And thank you kindly for your comment.

But I am just wondering how realistic is it for students of mediation to acquire a full-time job if you do not have a law degree. Quite frequently I find that for students, like myself, who have earned a M.A. in Dispute Resolution there is very little work available. Because the market is becoming so flooded with new recruits and lawyers "I can't see the forest for the trees". Presently, I am volunteering in the evenings and on the weekends at a local mediation center because I work full-time. In addition there are more-and-more lawyers taking the mediation training - which seemingly gives them somewhat of an edge. What would you recommend? Your comments are greatly appreciated.
