As one who has been fortunate to never have had to look long for work until recently, I found this book a source of practical advice on how to approach job hunting. There is nothing easy, consistent, or predictable about job hunting. It can be a messy and frustrating business. How do you reach the hiring manager? How do you approach persons you do not know to learn of opportunities in your chosen profession? What do you say when you manage to get audience with a contact who knows the hiring persons to make the most of the conversation? The book provides a workable method and tool to assist. Is the book for everyone? Maybe not. But if you want to do more than respond to posted jobs which is how the fewest number of jobs are realized, and the networking concept is foreign to your nature and a pattern to follow would help, then this book is an excellent reference. Based upon research of what successful job hunters do and how they conduct themselves, the chapters are purposely short to focus on each factor and to provide an example of how it might manifest.
Job hunting is work. There are no short cuts here. But, there are constructive ideas of how to go at the goal of getting back to gainful employment and suggestions for supportive activity to reinforce your hirability.Get more detail about Unlock the Hidden Job Market: 6 Steps to a Successful Job Search When Times Are Tough.
