I Got Results

I was having a really hard time in the job market after I got laid off from my last job. It had been some time since I'd been a job seeker, so naturally my skills were a little rusty. After spending several months on the hunt, I realized just how rusty they were. This guide laid out the frame work for networking (oops, I had sort of forgot about that part of the job search), and providing some real skill-building when it came time interview. I'm finally settled into a great position and I attribute my success directly to the information I learned from this guide. You've got to try it. It really helps!!

Getting over the Networking Hump

I've always hated that you have to network to get the job you want. But I now realize that it doesn't have to be a schmarmy, phoney thing, but rather a building up of real and positive relationships and calling upon those relationships in the right way to get you the job you deserve. This guide helped break down the process so that I am now pursuing contacts and feeling more confident about doing so. Especially in such tough times, it's important to be able to call on those you know to get you noticed. Otherwise, you're just a dime a dozen in the sea of resumes that go out to any and all job openings these days. That said, I've been able to set up some great discussions and even a few key interviews. I would recommend that people get this guide to help them over the networking hump and realize that you have more connections you can explore than you might think.

Buy this book and memorize it.

This book got me my dream job. I am a man of few words, and it's impossible to explain without reading the book, but I wouldn't have gotten my foot in the door with this company had I not utilized the strategies contained in this book. It's so important to prepare a personal list of attributes for your dream job, but once you do that, read this book for excellent strategies on sifting through companies, interviewing, and nailing the offer home. It certainly rocks the proverbial job-hunting house.
