Download or read book Get a Job written by Dan Quillen and published by Cold Spring Press. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unique job hunting advice for the new economy, told with personal anecdotes and real stories: more like chicken soup for the job-seeker than a dry reference manual! Get a Job! shows people at any point in their career how to find a job, and how to keep that job once they have it. The new economy of real 16% unemployment requires job hunters to think like a hiring manager. Quillen's book alone teaches readers how to do that, by providing insights into the thought process of hiring managers and HR Directors -- because he has been one most of his career! Using stories and anecdotes throughout, all from his 20+ years of personal experience and as a very recent job seeker himself, his credentials are better than anyone else writing on this subject. Ten or fifteen years ago, a well-crafted resume got you interviews and a job. But now, in the horrific "New Normal" economy where real unemployment is more than 16%, you absolutely have to tailor your resume specifically to each job for which you are applying. If you don't, less-qualified candidates will get the interviews, and you'll be left out in the cold. This is just one part of the new job-seeking world that author Dan Quillen reveals from personal experience. Laid off in 2011, Dan was part of two networking groups...their average interviews per resume submitted was something like 5% -- one in twenty. Dan's was 24% -- nearly one in four. Dan got a job in record time, and now he shows readers how to do the same in Get a Job! Rather than a cold impersonal litany of things to do, Get a Job! is more like sitting down with an old friend who has taken a personal interest in the job seeker’s dilemma. Quillen takes his readers by the hand and guides them through all the critical steps necessary for finding a job today -- not twenty years ago. Along the way, Quillen shares his own personal experiences in finding work in today's difficult economy, seen through the lens of his decades of HR experience as a hiring manager and HR director. The use of the Internet and social media is an important component of this book, which is filled with examples from Dan's own job hunt. Featured are copies of his resume (reviewed and discussed section-by-section), the job boards he used in his search and how best to use them, first steps to take after being laid off, the importance of resumes and cover letters, overcoming gatekeepers, preparing for the interview and how to excel at one, temp agencies, age-related questions, and much more. Dan also provides great strategies on how to keep a job once you've landed it, how to prepare to leave if the job appears to be ending, and how to stay positive in a very negative time. Real examples from Dan's search are the hallmark of every chapter, every strategy offered to readers.

Book excerpt: Get ready to relearn everything you thought you knew about what a successful career path can look like. Today, unemployment hovers at a near-record high, yet 3.5 million American jobs remain unfilled. Why? Because companies simply cannot find people with the skills they actually need. The good news is that this skills gap represents unprecedented opportunities for every person seeking a successful and exciting career. But these opportunities can’t be found inside the walls of the traditional classroom. Instead, they lie in the myriad of educational options that provide the technical, vocational, and soft skills on demand in today’s workplace, such as: -Professional certifications: Start your career faster in fields like bioscience aviation, culinary arts, and medical technology. -Associates degrees: Increase earning potential through inexpensive 2-year programs in subjects like civil engineering, environmental science, education, and nursing. -Apprenticeships: Earn while you learn under the direct supervision of a skilled expert. Far beyond the artisan trades, today’s apprenticeships can be found at companies like Volkswagen and Siemens. -Occupational learning: Refresh or reboot your skill sets through on-the-job training or online education. In Job U, you’ll learn about these paths to rewarding occupations; where to find them and how to parlay them into the best paying job in any field. And along the way, you’ll meet individuals of all ages who have attained their “dream jobs” through a non-traditional education: from an emergency air paramedic, to a lead mechanic of a racecar team, to an engineer of complex gas turbine generators, to a bestselling cookbook author. Whether you are recent high school or college graduate, or well along in your career journey, Job U will help you find your way to a more secure and prosperous future.

Download or read book When to Jump written by Mike Lewis and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A lively and inspiring guidebook for anyone who wants to make the jump from normal to extraordinary.” —Tony Robbins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Unshakeable and MONEY: Master the Game An inspirational book that lays out the “Jump Curve”—four steps to wholeheartedly pursuing the career of your dreams—through experiences from a variety of people who have jumped and never looked back When Mike Lewis was twenty-four and working in a prestigious corporate job, he eagerly wanted to leave and pursue his dream of becoming a professional squash player. But he had questions: When is the right time to move from work that is comfortable to a career you have only dared to dream of? How have other people made such a jump? What did they feel when making that jump—and afterward? Mike sought guidance from others who had “jumped,” and the responses he got—from a banker who started a brewery, a publicist who became a Bishop, a garbage collector who became a furniture designer, and on and on—were so clear-eyed and inspiring that Mike wanted to share what he had learned with others who might be helped by those stories. First, though, he started playing squash professionally. The right book at the right time, When to Jump offers more than forty heartening stories (from the founder of Bonobos, the author of The Big Short, the designer of the Lyft logo, the Humans of New York creator, and many more) and takeaways that will inspire, instruct, and reassure, including the ingenious four-phase Jump Curve.
Download or read book The Book of Job written by Harold S. Kushner and published by Schocken. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part of the Jewish Encounter series From one of our most trusted spiritual advisers, a thoughtful, illuminating guide to that most fascinating of biblical texts, the book of Job, and what it can teach us about living in a troubled world. The story of Job is one of unjust things happening to a good man. Yet after losing everything, Job—though confused, angry, and questioning God—refuses to reject his faith, although he challenges some central aspects of it. Rabbi Harold S. Kushner examines the questions raised by Job’s experience, questions that have challenged wisdom seekers and worshippers for centuries. What kind of God permits such bad things to happen to good people? Why does God test loyal followers? Can a truly good God be all-powerful? Rooted in the text, the critical tradition that surrounds it, and the author’s own profoundly moral thinking, Kushner’s study gives us the book of Job as a touchstone for our time. Taking lessons from historical and personal tragedy, Kushner teaches us about what can and cannot be controlled, about the power of faith when all seems dark, and about our ability to find God. Rigorous and insightful yet deeply affecting, The Book of Job is balm for a distressed age—and Rabbi Kushner’s most important book since When Bad Things Happen to Good People.
