How to Download Modern Job Search: Insider Knowledge and Strategies that Work DOC
Job seekers today need more than just a good resume. They need to know how to get their resumes in front of the right people and get responses. Ask anyone looking for a job right now and they will tell you that the most frustrating part of their search is the fact they don't get many replies. This happens because we've been conditioned to think that conducting a job search means completing applications online, pasting resumes and attaching cover letters, then clicking "submit," and waiting. A good day of job hunting means applying to a bunch of jobs and crossing your fingers. This isn't the best method. Response rates are terrible. The ease of applying means that everyone applies for everything. Companies become buried in data and erect even higher walls. Whole careers are reduced to a few keywords that are digested by computers to determine whether candidates are "in or out." Not fun. "Modern Job Search" was developed to show job seekers that there are more efficient ways to navigate the job market. Instead of applying and hoping, job seekers can learn how to start conversations, build relationships, create interview opportunities, get real feedback, and ultimately offers. The strategies in "Modern Job Search" are all based on real world corporate headhunting, candidate marketing, and recruiting experiences. They were developed over a 20 year period working with hundreds of candidates and client companies. "Modern Job Search" shows job seekers how to: > Start their job search (understanding value in the job market)> Identify hiring managers and other useful contacts (networking and research)> Prepare resumes that really work> Get in front of decision makers > Prepare for and control interviews> Negotiate good offers> Transition from one job to the next efficiently and professionallyYour career is worth an investment in "Modern Job Search," even if it's not the only career book you buy.
