In his 20th year as career coach, he’s served more than 2,500 clients. U.S. News & World Report called him “Career coach extraordinaire.” The San Francisco Bay Guardian named him “The Bay Area’s Best Career Coach.” He enjoys a 97 percent client-satisfaction rate. He’s Contributing Editor for career issues at U.S. News & World Report and career columnist for Kiplinger’s Personal Finance Magazine and for the Mensa Bulletin. Before going national, his column appeared in the Sunday Los Angeles Times and San Francisco Chronicle. He’s the author of 500+ well-published articles and five commercially and crit- ically successful books, including the All-in-One College Guide, a consumer advocate’s guide to choosing, getting into, finding the money for, and making the most of college. He’s in his 18th year as producer and host of Work with Marty Nemko, on a National Public Radio affiliate in San Francisco. He’s hosted a nationwide PBS pledge-drive special, Eight Steps to a Better Worklife, and been a repeat guest on major TV and radio shows, including the Today show and CNN Headline News Comcast Local Edition, on which he now appears daily. He has been the primary interview source for dozens of articles, including those in The New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal. He holds a PhD from the University of California, Berkeley, and subsequently taught there. He’s the hybridizer of six commercially introduced no-spray roses; they don’t require spraying for disease. Believe it or not, he finds time for hobbies. In 2006, he starred in a San Francisco Bay Area production of Neil Simon’s Broadway Bound, in which he played the cheating husband opposite his real-life wife. At that show, he also played the pre-show music on the piano. (He has played more than 2,000 professional jobs as a pianist.) In summer 2007, he directs the play Same Time Next Year. Marty’s first job: New York City taxicab driver. Marty’s Web site, www.martynemko.com, offers 500+ of his published articles for free.
