Published in 2014 by AuthorHouse, Job Won! ranks as a valuable compendium for job seekers and employers alike, offering 188 pages of practical advice, tips and strategy presented in Blair's conversational, easy-to-understand style.

"I'm both proud and inspired to reach this status," said Blair, "because it means that my career-long message of encouraging job-seekers to pursue their career goals with practicality and passion has found an even larger audience."

Blair, who has spent 30 years in the temporary- and permanent- placement staffing industry, has become a frequently-quoted leader and speaker in the field.

"Putting together a focused program to attract more readers resulting in Phil becoming a best seller on Amazon was a very fulfilling project," said James F. Butz, president of San Diego-based Resonnect, LLC. "If helping people find jobs was an Olympic event, Phil would be a gold-medal winner. He's one of those inspiring leaders who looks for ways to give back to the people he serves."
