Synopsis

During bad economic times, certain workers have an advantage for keeping or landing a job. In this book, you will learn how to be one of the advantaged job seekers. Most people apply for jobs and never hear anything back. Beating the Gatekeepers provides a comprehensive strategy to bypass the front end gatekeepers and get interviews. A successful job search requires a preparation phase to make sure the product (you) is ready to go to market. This book will teach you how to get there and how to relay the skills you learned into the interview room to land the job. Most job placements are determined as a result of an applicant’s performance during the interview. This book teaches a process for determining 90 percent of the interview questions to be asked in advance of the interview and how to properly prepare to answer them. Other topics covered include: Networking, how to handle the most dreaded questions (even why you were fired), and the value-added concept Confidence and competence are key ingredients to your success at the interview. You can’t fake them, but in this book you can learn how to manufacture them. If you are in a declining industry, or leaving the military, in this book you will learn how to reinvent your career by separating yourself from it. Strip away all the technical terms, acronyms and industry products associated with your previous career and redefine your value around your skills.
