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 and they will tell you that the most frustrating part of their search is that they don't get replies.
This happens because we've been told to think that conducting a job search means completing applications online, attaching resumes and cover letters, and clicking "submit." For a lot of people a good day of job hunting means applying to a bunch of jobs and waiting.
This is not a great strategy. Response rates are terrible. Everyone applies for everything. Companies become buried in data, build even higher walls, and whole careers are reduced to a few keywords.
Instead of applying and hoping, "Modern Job Search" will teach you how to start conversations, build relationships, create interview opportunities, get real feedback, and ultimately get offers.
The strategies in "Modern Job Search" are based on over 20 years of real world corporate headhunting, candidate marketing, and recruiting experience. "Modern Job Search" will show you how to:
- Start your job search (understand value in the job market)
- Identify hiring managers and other useful contacts
- 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 professionally
Your career is worth an investment in "Modern Job Search," even if it's not the only job search book you buy. It's a competitive world and you need all the help you can get.
Please don't forget to leave a review! Thank you and good luck! -- Kurt Schmidt
