Download or read book Team Up Find a Better Job Faster with a Job Search Work Team written by Orville Pierson and published by . This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You already know that job hunting can be difficult. It can be tough in a good job market. In a bad job market, it can be brutal. You get rejection after rejection. You're constantly faced with the Black Hole of job hunting: You complete applications, post resumes and make contacts, but get no response at all. It can be hard to keep going, and many job hunters have periods of doing far too little - and even slowing down just when they need to speed up. And sometimes it's hard to know what kind of effort to make. Should you make more phone calls? Use more social networking sites? Find more job boards? Make more contacts? A professional career coach could assist you with all of this. However, many job hunters are unemployed and not in a position to hire a coach. A PROVEN SYSTEM But now, there's another solution. Rather than hunker down alone in a home office, you can do your job hunting as part of a Job Search Work Team. Team members do not need to be experts, since they're using a proven system - one that's been successfully used by a 300-office global career services company for over 20 years. Job Search Work Teams have helped thousands of job hunters find great new jobs faster. Team Up! shows you the university research that explains why and how these teams are so successful. And the book tells you exactly what to do to join, start or lead one of these teams. Teams have been shown to shorten job searches by 20%. That could cut a five-month search to four months, and save you a full month's salary. ENDORSED BY EXPERIENCED CAREER PROFESSIONALS Career professionals who have used Job Search Work Teams are enthusiastic about their value for job hunters. On the first two pages of Team Up!, you'll see endorsements from people with a combined total of 200 years experience as professional career coaches. On the back cover of the book, you'll see endorsements from leaders of church, synagogue and nonprofit programs that use these teams. In that kind of program, teams are usually led by the job hunters themselves. The teams have proven successful when led by professional leaders, volunteer workers, or team members. But however they're led, it's important that all team members understand exactly how they work and what to do in meetings to help make every member's search more effective, more comfortable and faster. Team Up! explains the whole thing, step-by-step, telling you exactly how you can start, join or lead one of these teams. JOB SEARCH WORK TEAMS OFFER: *** A comfortable, supportive weekly meeting that's focused on making every team member's job search more effective this week than it was last week. *** Networking assistance, since every member has two dozen eyes and ears on the lookout for job leads and job market information -- not just two. *** An advisory group to answer questions, enumerate options, and provide objective advice. *** A simple progress measurement system that allows job hunters to answer three key questions: (1) "Before you start getting job interviews, how do you know whether you're making progress? (2) How much progress did you make this week? (3) Which of your efforts are producing the progress? TEAM UP! TELLs YOU: +++ How to join an existing Job Search Work Team. +++ How to start your own team if there isn't one near you. +++ How to ensure that every weekly team meeting is safe, comfortable and highly productive for everyone in the room. +++ How to use teams in church, synagogue or community job search assistance programs. +++ How to make your job search more effective - even if you decide not to join a Job Search Work Team. The book is written for career professionals as well as job hunters. It includes a message for career coaches and a complete manual/workbook. It is not available as an e-book because it is in 8 1/2 by 11 inch format and includes numerous full- and two-page graphics that cannot be viewed on those device

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtually all job hunting experts agree that networking is the best way to find a great job. But most people don't have connections to the decision makers who do the hiring. And "networking" books, which are mostly written by and for salespeople, suggest aggressive tactics, often confusing these with real networking. They focus on building a powerful network over the course of a lifetime. But when you need a new job, you don't have time to build a huge, powerful network. You've got to use the network you already have. Orville Pierson, a top expert in job hunting, tells you how to succeed by effectively using your current circle of contacts. He cuts through the myths and misunderstandings to show you how millions of job hunters have networked their way to great new jobs. Highly Effective Networking empowers you to: Use a small network to reach dozens of insiders and decision makers. Get the right message to the right people, even if you have never met them. Create a project plan to organize your networking efforts. Speak effectively and comfortably with your networking contacts. Talk to decision makers before the job opening is announced. Networking in job hunting is different than other networking. You don't have to hobnob with the rich and famous. There's no need for aggressive sales tactics. You just need to understand how real networking fits into your job search, and then be systematic about doing it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named one of 10 Best New Management Books for 2022 by Thinkers50 A Wall Street Journal Bestseller "...this guide provides readers with much more than just early careers advice; it can help everyone from interns to CEOs." — a Financial Times top title You've landed a job. Now what? No one tells you how to navigate your first day in a new role. No one tells you how to take ownership, manage expectations, or handle workplace politics. No one tells you how to get promoted. The answers to these professional unknowns lie in the unspoken rules—the certain ways of doing things that managers expect but don't explain and that top performers do but don't realize. The problem is, these rules aren't taught in school. Instead, they get passed down over dinner or from mentor to mentee, making for an unlevel playing field, with the insiders getting ahead and the outsiders stumbling along through trial and error. Until now. In this practical guide, Gorick Ng, a first-generation college student and Harvard career adviser, demystifies the unspoken rules of work. Ng distills the wisdom he has gathered from over five hundred interviews with professionals across industries and job types about the biggest mistakes people make at work. Loaded with frameworks, checklists, and talking points, the book provides concrete strategies you can apply immediately to your own situation and will help you navigate inevitable questions, such as: How do I manage my time in the face of conflicting priorities? How do I build relationships when I’m working remotely? How do I ask for help without looking incompetent or lazy? The Unspoken Rules is the only book you need to perform your best, stand out from your peers, and set yourself up for a fulfilling career.

Download or read book The War at Work written by Seth Mattison and published by Train to Be Clutch. This book was released on 2017-01-14 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a quiet night in the C-suite of Axis Medical Group, Brian Kelly holds a ten-pound sledgehammer, standing in front of a massive corner office. Staring back at him is his own name, etched across the door in polished block letters. He worked for twenty-five years to get it there, but tonight that has to change. And so, with every ounce of his strength... Brian starts to swing. We're entering the age of the Network, a world of hyper-connectivity and constant flux, where disruption is the norm and autonomy, empowerment and meaning are basic expectations of the new workforce. Organizations are being forced to execute and perform today while simultaneously maintaining the discipline to reinvent themselves for a very different future. Successfully navigating the challenge of thriving in two very different worlds is the mandate of the modern day leader. This book will show you how. The fact is, we live in a half-changed world, where everything from communication and etiquette, policies and procedures, where and when work happens, and "paying your dues" are still influenced by a long list of "unwritten rules" established by the world that preceded the Network: the Hierarchy. Responsible for the creation of incredible efficiencies and scale over the past 150 years, the top-down structures and culture of the Hierarchy are still deeply embedded in our organizations and leadership ideologies today. Drawing from their experience guiding everyone from Fortune 500 executives to major-league coaches through the new world of work, Seth Mattison and Joshua Medcalf combine timeless truth with timely strategy in THE WAR AT WORK, a fable grounded in two leaders' introspective journey from the top down world of the Hierarchy to the hyper connected world of the Network. For anyone seeking to embrace the future, find meaning, purpose, and mastery in their career and leadership capacity, this story is a compass, providing new perspectives and practical solutions to navigate the disruptive waters of change, unleash human potential, and bring genuine transformation to a world that desperately needs it.
