Indeed, after a few weeks of responding to classified ads, surfing the Internet, and applying for jobs, many job seekers experience numerous rejections and thus conclude "No one will hire me!" Worst of all, they begin to lose their most important assets -- their self-esteem, motivation, and enthusiasm -- while continuing a seemingly fruitless job search. More often than not the problem of finding a job lies close at hand. Not surprisingly, the frustrated job seeker is often his or her own worst enemy. Outlining 15 key mistakes most job seekers frequently make, two of America's leading career experts provide a wealth of information and advice on how to quickly transform an ineffective job search into one that results in job interviews and offers. Each chapter identifies a major mistake and then offers analyses, self-tests, exercises, and resources for avoiding the error. In today's highly competitive job market where employers are demanding greater evidence of performance based on past patterns of accomplishments, No One Will Hire Me! offers a refreshing new look at a variety of issues affecting millions of job seekers each year. Insightful, practical, and jam-packed with user-friendly resources, the book shows how to organize an effective job search that out-shines the competition.
