Download or read book The Job Search Navigator written by Matt Durfee and published by Agate Publishing. This book was released on 2015-12-21 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A no-holds-barred view of career management in a turbulent world . . . provides a reality-based perspective that should be of value to all who read [it].” —Len Schlesinger, president emeritus at Babson College, Baker Foundation professor, Harvard Business School In these uncertain times, The Job Search Navigator is a reliable guide to every step of the twenty-first–century job hunt, whether readers are laid off, wanting to change careers after surviving cutbacks, or seeking a better full-time gig in a stagnant marketplace. Author Matt Durfee writes from the perspective of someone who has both recruited for some of America’s biggest companies and navigated his way through nine of his own job losses. The book combines practical real-world perspectives with the technical knowledge job seekers need in order to excel at every aspect of their searches. Drawing on the knowledge Durfee accumulated through his own experiences, searches, and big-brand corporate hiring responsibilities, The Job Search Navigator abandons the “clinical approach” of many other career-advice books. Instead, Durfee gives easy-to-follow strategies and, perhaps more importantly, recounts in illuminating detail the kinds of mistakes that led him to develop these strategies. “From the strategic to the emotional to the tactical—this is one of the most practical and useful books on career management I’ve read in a very, very long time.” —L. Kevin Cox, chief human resources officer, American Express Company “Matt’s expertise in this space is unmatched. We live in a world where constant reinvention is the rule and The Job Search Navigator is essential reading for those who want to take control of their career trajectory.” —Scott Westerman, executive director & associate vice president for alumni relations, Michigan State University

Job Search Strategies That Work provides powerful strategies and tactics to land your next job. Searching for and landing a job can be a stressful, demoralizing experience, especially, if you don't know how to do it properly. The 'old ways' of finding a job often don't work anymore. Finding rewarding work ... is work! You're Hired! Job Search Strategies That Work, puts you to work in learning how to use 'best practices' to land your 'dream' job. This easy-to-read book is a systematic program providing strategic tactics to maximize your job searching effectiveness. Did you know there is a psychology behind the process of job searching? You're Hired! Job Search Strategies That Work helps you understand the psychology of job-searching and sets you up for envisioning your success. Resumes... It is often said that “resumes are your ticket to job searching success.” Resumes are still the not so secret weapon to landing a job. You won’t win a lottery if you don’t have a ticket and you are unlikely to be invited for a job interview if you don’t have a dynamic, effective resume that features you as the solution to a problem. Your resume is your ticket that leads to being invited for an interview where you can expand upon your value. An effective, eye-catching resume will get you an interview. We show you how to craft and fine-tune a magnetic resume that will attract an employer’s attention. Are you networking? Many job search industry professionals say that networking is the single most effective strategy for landing your next job. You may think you don’t know anyone who can help you with your job search. But you know more people than you think, and they are willing to help you. However, you need to reach out and connect with them first. “It’s not who you know... it’s who knows you know...” You're Hired! Job Search Strategies That Work helps you build upon your existing network of contacts and take it to the next level, an opportunity-creating machine. References... Do you have your professional and personal references in place? Are they primed to be your personal cheerleaders? No? Well they should be. You're Hired! Job Search Strategies That Work provides you with proven tactics to leverage your references to help nail the job for you. Job Interviewing... While looking for a new job and going though hiring interviews can be exciting for some people, for many of us it can be a stressful experience. Is the thought of a job interview keeping you awake at night? You're Hired! Job Search Strategies That Work systematically builds your skills to excel at interview questions and help you sleep at night. From our experience, one of the biggest problems job seekers often face is they feel they are coming from an inferior position and they don't have a lot of personal power. The belief being that the Employer has the superior position and has all the power. Sound familiar? Yes, they have the job and they have the power to give you the job ... or not. What you may not realize is many Hiring Managers are under similar pressures as you, the job seeker. They are accountable to their superiors should the person they hire not work out. They have the pressure of finding the right candidate for the vacancy they need to fill. You're Hired! Job Search Strategies That Work levels the playing field between you and the employer. Your task is to become the only choice. The right choice!
