This book will teach you how to write better
by Neville Medhora
Is this the book? http://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Freelance-Writer-Third-Edition/dp/0805078037
I'd love to hear which book you used and what parts you found most valuable!
Sorry to hear about your troubles!
Hmm, for job hunting I'd recommend:
Break The Rules: The Secret Code to Finding a Great Job Fast
It has the best way of looking at "selling yourself" to people I've ever seen in a book. Plus it came out in 2001 and you can buy it for a penny + shipping.
If you're interested in working for yourself (starting work now, not waitin around), I'd recommend:
Secrets of a Freelance Writer: How to Make $100,000 a Year or More
Or anything by Robert W. Bly. The guy's a genius.
For idea-generating for non-writing self-professions, I'd recommend:
The $100 Startup: Reinvent the Way You Make a Living, Do What You Love, and Create a New Future
If you create your own start-up, Bly has a marketing book too. I'd get that. Anything business-related written by the guy is worth its weight in gold.
If you don't see a job in sight, I would highly consider self-employment, just because you can start today. I think it's great that anyone, anywhere can say "I'm now employed" if they want to. There is responsibility for paying yourself, of course, but now no one can fire you, and they don't take a percent away from your earnings. You get all the kickback. And it's not a pyramid scheme-ish company like Amway, where layers of people are all getting a chunk of your profit (just like any other job you work for other people).
You sound intelligent and experienced; you should go for it if you've got the gumption.
