Book excerpt: How to Find a Job in 6 Weeks (2nd Edition) is the revised version of this successful book first published in 2003. The 6 week job search method was originally developed by the author as a unique method for finding a job quickly by using proven job search techniques. It's a practical straightforward aid to assist job hunters to develop successful job search skills quickly and efficiently. It is written in a clear and jargon-free style and is structured in a way that allows the reader to move through each chapter or topic at their own pace. It includes checklists, tables and scenarios for role playing, or rehearsing the interview process with Australian statistics and Information. The author emphasises the practical aspects of job hunting in the modern world and presents his knowledge and experience in five easy to digest chapters coaching the reader on: How to develop and apply job search skills quickly, simply and effectively. How to write "killer" application letters and C.Vs that get noticed. How to get around the fact that today 75 per cent of jobs are not advertised. How to use a proven strategy to master your responses to an interview technique used by most employers today. How to turn your life around and even prosper from the experience of redundancy. The author is highly qualified to write this book having been on both sides of the job search. As a Human Resources Manager he has both 'hired and fired' but the motivation to write and research this book was when he himself was made redundant with, at that time, two young children, a wife who was not working and a mortgage. How to Find a Job in Six Weeks also goes beyond basic job search information and advice. It provides techniques for managing your current job, work performance appraisals and for career management and development. The author believes that improving these skills will ultimately ensure more successful outcomes when you are in the job market.

Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

Book excerpt: A New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestseller In this iconic bestseller, popular business blogger and bestselling author Seth Godin proves that winners are really just the best quitters. Godin shows that winners quit fast, quit often, and quit without guilt—until they commit to beating the right Dip. Every new project (or job, or hobby, or company) starts out fun…then gets really hard, and not much fun at all. You might be in a Dip—a temporary setback that will get better if you keep pushing. But maybe it’s really a Cul-de-Sac—a total dead end. What really sets superstars apart is the ability to tell the two apart. Winners seek out the Dip. They realize that the bigger the barrier, the bigger the reward for getting past it. If you can beat the Dip to be the best, you’ll earn profits, glory, and long-term security. Whether you’re an intern or a CEO, this fun little book will help you figure out if you’re in a Dip that’s worthy of your time, effort, and talents. The old saying is wrong—winners do quit, and quitters do win.

Download or read book The One Week Job Project written by Sean Aiken and published by Villard. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE REMARKABLE AND INSPIRING TRUE STORY OF ONE GUY WHO TRANSFORMED HIS UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE FUTURE INTO ACTION A year and a half after he graduated from college, Sean Aiken found himself struggling to answer the question “What should I do with my life?” His mother suggested teaching. His older sister told him to apply for an entry-level corporate position. His father said, “It doesn’t matter what you do, just make sure it’s something you’re passionate about.” Taking his father’s advice to heart, Sean created the One-Week Job Project and launched himself on an epic journey to find his passion. His goal: to work fifty-two jobs in fifty-two weeks. After the launch of his website, oneweekjob.com, the offers began pouring in. Sean’s first gig was—literally—jumping off a bridge, as a bungee operator in British Columbia. From there he traveled across Canada and the United States, reinventing himself as a firefighter, an aquarium host, a radio DJ, a martial arts instructor, an NHL mascot, and a snowshoe guide. During the course of his seven-day stints, from a Florida stock-trading floor to a cattle ranch in the wilds of Wyoming to a real estate office in Beverly Hills, Sean found time to make new friends and even fall in love. Whether choosing a spring fashion line, brewing beer, or milking a cow, Sean continued to ask himself and others about what success really means and how we find happiness—all while having the adventure of his life. Inventive and empowering, witty and wise, The One-Week Job Project is a book that will give you the courage to follow your passion. Or, as Mark Twain said, “Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 70% of today’s job opportunities come through the “hidden job market”: they’re never advertised, assigned to search firms or internal recruiters, or displayed at job fairs. What’s more, as employers cut recruiting costs, the proportion of “hidden” job opportunities is actually growing. And, since most jobseekers know practically nothing about it, those who do understand it have a powerful inside advantage. Now, two career experts reveal the hidden job market, and show how to use it to dramatically improve your chances of landing a job that fits your passions and skills perfectly. Duncan Mathison and best-selling author Martha Finney help you launch a custom, personal job search that avoids competing with thousands of desperate, laid-off job seekers. Learn how to: Use the hidden job market to leap-frog salary levels or even change professions Uncover hidden market opportunities, and your target employers’ unspoken needs and wants Tell your story in two minutes, and make people want to know more Get the interviews that count, and run them like a pro Network without sounding phony, lame or desperate Reframe experiences, passions, and hobbies as “transferrable skills” Build a strategic support team of advisors Identify a “dead-ended” job search, and get it restarted Negotiate compensation for “hidden” jobs.

Download or read book How to Get Ununemployed Fill That Calendar 22 Daily Step By Step Ways and Daily Motivators to Kickstart Your Career and Find a Job in Under 6 written by Matthew Warzel and published by How to Get Ununemployed. This book was released on 2019-02-15 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hey, there! Glad to meet you! Welcome to the wonderful and wacky world of job hunting. I suppose, since you're reading this, that you've decided you didn't want to stay put in your current situation. Congratulations. Sometimes that can be the hardest part. Whether it was your own control or someone else's, it's where you are today and where you are supposed to be. So breathe, relax, and let's partner up to get you where you need to be or want to go. The job hunting process does not need to be complicated. It's not like you're building rockets, but you definitely need to know how to navigate this tricky scenario. This book was made to help in that navigation. A way to declutter, reverse engineer and simplify the process of finding a job. And maybe keep the stress levels a little lower.So the idea behind this program was to make this a two-way street. There will be assignments, and a calendar is mandatory. If you already track your daily tasks and time, this will not be a hard transition. If you're the type who can wing your day together, that won't work in this case. You will be calendaring. I do not want to just regurgitate a bunch of information, spewing words at you in hopes that you take a piece or two and try to alter your approach to the job hunting process. I want to alter your entire mentality. It needs to be adjusted to take into account the ever-evolving trends behind the hiring process. Hiring managers, recruiters, and decision-makers everywhere are constantly trying to outsmart the recruiting process. They are trying to reduce lead times for filling open positions while filling those seats with actual real talent, which equates to a return on investment (ROI). If they spent $2,000 to identify candidates for that open position, you must be able to at least get them that money back in terms of productivity once you're in that role, and sooner than later.The quicker they can get butts into seats, the more efficient their workforce, thus the more profits they make. We need to be thinking about these people's motivations when we approach them and ask that they talk to you for an hour. Why should they spend their time on you unless you offer them some sort of value? What can you offer them? Can you save them money? Make them more productive? Build revenue? That's what they want. That's what they need. That's what they're looking for in a candidate. Remember, no one owes you a job. No one says, "Here's some free money. Don't worry about doing anything for it." It's like the NFL. It's a "What can you do for me" league. That's how corporations are running these days. Retirement parties are not even in the mentality of this new generation of workers. In most cases, they just need to make it to next Friday. Well, that's inexcusable, because some people actually can save money AND go on a vacation or two every year. Why can't that somebody be you?What do you know about resumes these days? Have you made yours logical? No one wants to be crinkling their forehead at 4:30 on a Friday when they finally get around to looking at resumes. Not even if you were a fit for the opening. Remember, hiring managers have to stop what they're doing to put on their "hiring manager" hat. I've seen this first hand, and trust me, it's a burden for them. They don't know you, nor do they know if you are a fit, when they come into the office that. On this important document, you need to show them why you are a fit. If you don't, they will move onto the next candidate who's submitted a more refined, pragmatic resume. Also, for more impact, use metrics. But more on that later.Remember again: let's simplify this stuff. Let's learn how to adapt the right habits to accomplish two important goals. First, to lay the foundation of a solid, daily work ethic. And second, to formulate a plan for success that identifies not just a job, but rather the right career.
