People Hire People - Not Resumes by Frank Danzo

A multitude of books have been written on the subject of job searching, networking and resume writing, but, in my opinion, the one that stands out above them all, is a book entitled, People Hire People - Not Resumes, which was written by a St. Louis author by the name of Frank Danzo. One of the most blatant differences between this book and others is that Mr. Danzo has "lived" the "process" that he has so eloquently written about in his book, in that he has first-hand knowledge of the process that he has developed and describes in detail in various steps throughout his book. Mr. Danzo's book is based on his own story and the trials and tribulations of his search for a new career, after learning that his position and 20 years of employment with the same company had come to an abrupt end. Upon receipt of this devastating news, Mr. Danzo emphatically embarked on his quest for a new career and he subsequently landed a comparable position in a totally different field, which he obtained through effective networking - building a network, meeting people face-to-face, utilizing an agenda and marketing plan, and getting in front of hiring managers to demonstrate transferable skills, thus illustrating that there is much more to an individual and his/her skills and experience than what is often contained in the standard one or two page marketing document, commonly referred to as a resume. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who is actively engaged in a job search, as well as to anyone who is contemplating a career change. This book will provide you with a proven process on how to conduct an effective job search campaign and the tools necessary to implement and execute that process to achieve the desired end result.

Networking gets you hired, not your resume in today's job market

The author offers us more than just a "been there, done that" perspective to the job search. Frank Danzo shares the details of how people can market themselves and stand out among the crowd. From creating an individual marketing plan, writing a resume that will get read, preparing and practicing for interviews, to most importantly, conducting successful business networking meetings. In his book, Mr. Danzo shares with us the types of tools, preparation, and mental exercises one needs to do to find employment. Finding a job is a full time work week, and commitment and hard work are needed to be successful. Learning how to hold yourself accountable during your job search was something I never gave much thought to before. Frank not only reinforces the necessity of daily networking with people, he takes the time to explain how to be successful and build on every networking meeting opportunity. If your serious about becoming more efficient/effective in your job search process, this book is a must read. Highly Recommend.
