“How to Score a Date with Your Potential Employer” (iUniverse) offers readers tactics and strategies including:

· Steps to scoping out the territory
· The best places to practice your “pick-up lines”

“The lines between personal and professional life can blur into a bi-polar scene of cognitive warfare,” said Owens. “However, you find that whether the boy-next-door or the business down the street, the rules of engagement in the schizophrenic dating/interviewing game are pretty similar. This book was written as a road map for navigating the job dating scene.”
