Download or read book The Number One Job Hunting Book in the World written by Jim Stroud and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-03-04 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2002 was not a happy time for me; at least, not initially. I was in a position where my wife laid off, I was laid off, I had a little one to take care of and bills that would not stop coming in. So, being the responsible man of the house I go into job search mode. This was my checklist... # Post my resume on Monster # Search every (insert expletive of your choice) online job board I could find # Newspaper Want-ads # Email Recruiters and all of my contacts for job leads # Go to Networking Events # Go to Job Fairs # Department of Labor Office # Contact Temp Employment Agencies # Walk into companies and fill out applications And the more I did these things, the more frustrated I became because I was not getting the results I needed. I blamed the economy, I blamed others for not recognizing my skills, I shifted the blame to there being too much competition in the workplace and eventually I began to doubt myself. I also tried to laugh at the situation as I considered the irony at the time, me, a recruiter, looking for work. The turning point for me came about 2 weeks into my job search. I was at the kitchen table with a stack of bills on one side of me and a pile of printed off job descriptions on the other when I said (in jest mind you), "God, something has got to happen and quickly." And then, a light illuminated my face and angels began to sing and my next job appeared before my eyes. Hah! Not really, not even half of that, but dramatic nonetheless. It occurred to me that I was doing the same thing, in the same way as everyone else and getting the same results - no job. "Do something different," I said out loud, and from that moment on, I did. It was not uncommon in 2002, to be unemployed for several months before landing a position. Once I changed my job search strategy, I was working in two months. It was a simple thing, really. I took my knowledge of how recruiters act, think and search for talent and reversed engineered the process to my advantage. Not only that, I was determined to not be in that situation again. So, what did I do? Once I found work, I did not stop looking and in a very real way, I positioned myself to perpetually refuse job offers. In this way, I had a type of insurance should the specter of layoffs ever darken my door again. Did it work? Or rather, has it worked since the recession of 2002? Yes. Although I was laid off (again) in 2008, the season of another recession, I was able to secure a new corporate gig in four months' time. (Although, I did service several clients on a contract basis via my own business in between corporate opportunities.) If that does not sound remarkable to you, then you have been fortunate enough not to have to look for work when the jobless rate was greater than the great depression. But I digress, my intention is not to brag on my success, but to help you with yours. Why? Simply put, I have not forgotten what it felt like to be without a job for an extended period of time and I don't wish that on anyone. In "The Number One Job Hunting Book in the World" I share my methods, give tips and offer strategies on how you can find work quickly and stay employed for life.

Download or read book The HR Value Proposition written by David Ulrich and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2005-05-11 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The international best seller Human Resource Champions helped set the HR agenda for the 1990s and enabled HR professionals to become strategic partners in their organizations. But earning a seat at the executive table was only the beginning. Today's HR leaders must also bring substantial value to that table. Drawing on their 16-year study of over 29,000 HR professionals and line managers, leading HR experts Dave Ulrich and Wayne Brockbank propose The HR Value Proposition. The authors argue that HR value creation requires a deep understanding of external business realities and how key stakeholders both inside and outside the company define value. Ulrich and Brockbank provide practical tools and worksheets for leveraging this knowledge to create HR practices, build organizational capabilities, design HR strategy, and marshal resources that create value for customers, investors, executives, and employees. Written by the field's premier trailblazers, this book charts the path HR professionals must take to help lead their organizations into the future. Ulrich is a professor at the University of Michigan School of Business and the author of 12 books and more than 100 articles on the subject of human resources. Brockbank is a clinical professor of business at the University of Michigan School of Business, the author of award-winning papers on HR strategy, and an adviser to top global organizations.

Download or read book Work Rules written by Laszlo Bock and published by Twelve. This book was released on 2015-04-07 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the visionary head of Google's innovative People Operations comes a groundbreaking inquiry into the philosophy of work -- and a blueprint for attracting the most spectacular talent to your business and ensuring that they succeed. "We spend more time working than doing anything else in life. It's not right that the experience of work should be so demotivating and dehumanizing." So says Laszlo Bock, former head of People Operations at the company that transformed how the world interacts with knowledge. This insight is the heart of Work Rules!, a compelling and surprisingly playful manifesto that offers lessons including: Take away managers' power over employees Learn from your best employees-and your worst Hire only people who are smarter than you are, no matter how long it takes to find them Pay unfairly (it's more fair!) Don't trust your gut: Use data to predict and shape the future Default to open-be transparent and welcome feedback If you're comfortable with the amount of freedom you've given your employees, you haven't gone far enough. Drawing on the latest research in behavioral economics and a profound grasp of human psychology, Work Rules! also provides teaching examples from a range of industries-including lauded companies that happen to be hideous places to work and little-known companies that achieve spectacular results by valuing and listening to their employees. Bock takes us inside one of history's most explosively successful businesses to reveal why Google is consistently rated one of the best places to work in the world, distilling 15 years of intensive worker R&D into principles that are easy to put into action, whether you're a team of one or a team of thousands. Work Rules! shows how to strike a balance between creativity and structure, leading to success you can measure in quality of life as well as market share. Read it to build a better company from within rather than from above; read it to reawaken your joy in what you do.
