Book Description
What if I told you that job hunting could actually be much easier and painless? What if I told you that you could easily make at least $50,000 more than you do now over the next five years and most of you will easily earn over $100,000 more by following the techniques I’ll teach you? Do I have your attention now? What if I told you that if you are like most people I meet, you are making a huge mistake with your resume that is causing you to miss out on the best opportunities? Would that get your attention? What if I told you that there are online tools available that can give you the names of the managers you really want to speak with? You will learn: * Techniques to help you earn far more money and do it much more easily * How to plan for your job change and for your career * How to enter a company through "the back door," instead of always contacting Human Resources (Would you like to learn the name of the manager to call? I'll show you how to get that, too) * I will help you compute your "staying power" in the job market * How to figure out what is important in the next job or organization * How to find greater job satisfaction than you have known before without compromising your needs * How to evaluate and assess a company in which you have interviewed to see if your are a good fit for each other * How to write "the new cover letter" * How to negotiate salary * How to give your notice * How to find current and past employees of companies you meet with so that you can easily research them * How to find the "meta-job sites" that will save you time and effort * How to network well Will I really learn everything I need to in order to complete my job search? * Do you want to know how to have a resume that stands out without it looking stupid? * Would you like to know what to do if, after a bunch of interviews, you still don't have a job offer? * How about knowing how to track all the resumes you submit so that when the phone rings, you're ready to go? * How to work well with recruiters and search firms. * Why using a recruiter may make sense for you . . . as long as you keep an eye on them. * How to negotiate your new salary (HINT: Most people only know one way. Do you want to know more?) You’ll also learn a simple question to ask that will have a potential employer competing against themselves to offer you more money! Job hunting doesn't have to be hard or difficult. You just have to learn how to do it. Every era has its own rules and techniques for success. Some techniques are timeless. But using techniques from the stone ages like mailing resumes on parchment paper will have you miss opportunities that you should be competing for. "Get Yourself Hired NOW! : The Big Game Hunter's Guide to Head Hunting Your Next Job and Every Job After That!" will teach you techniques head hunters use to help people find work every day. It will help you avoid making the mistakes that most people make that sabotage their efforts. * Taking jobs that don't meet their needs * What most job hunters have in common with people working in the kitchen at fast food restaurants * Speaking too little * Stupid interview mistakes * Talking about the wrong job when they are called for an exploratory interview or phone interview * Speaking too much * Being boring! * Getting stuck in "the HR system" * Only taking action when they want to find a new job

Book Description
ARE YOU READY TO HIRE YOURSELF? WHO hasn't had the inkling-or even the outright conviction-that we could be more successful, more fulfilled, and more satisfied if we could invest in ourselves? HOW MANY of us have given our time, our knowledge, our energy, and our loyalty to corporate careers, only to discover that our contributions don't guarantee gratitude, upward mobility, or even job security? WHY consider franchising? Franchise investors reap all the rewards of entrepreneurship-self-determination, personal and professional freedom, unlimited potential for profitability-without all the risks of going it alone. WHAT'S the difference? In franchising, someone has already dreamed the big dream, figured out how to make it work, marketed it well, and sold it to create a well-defined niche. And now, that person is looking for an investor and partner to help build on that success. HIRE YOURSELF WILL HELP YOU: - Leverage your expertise and resources to build a bridge out of the corporate world and into entrepreneurship - Learn how to choose a franchise concept that's the right franchise for you - Understand how to capitalize your investment and minimize your risks - Recognize and avoid common mistakes and traps - Know that franchising is all about working for yourself, but not by yourself

Pages : 70
Book Description
Want the secret to getting hired? 1) Stop unknowingly under-selling yourself with a half-a**ed resume: The majority of candidates don't realize they are doing it all wrong – their resume tells the story of a person half as qualified, half as interesting, and half as well suited to the role at hand as they really are. Learn how to tell a compelling story of your life – identify and demonstrate uniquely valuable skills and traits, and above all a perfect fit for the company and job to which you're applying. Stand out of the crowd with this pragmatic step-by-step job application guide – You shouldn't have to read a 400-page tome to write a 2-page resume. Follow this series of punchy activities, questions and tools to help you think through what makes you uniquely hirable and to present yourself in the light you deserve. 2) Focus on Tangible outputs. By the end of this book, you'll have created: A compelling and coherently powerful story based on your unique set of personal assets and experiences. A standout resume that demands the attention and consideration of recruiters. A personal elevator pitch and cover letter that crystalizes your value and your ideal fit into your dream-company and role. A map of the perfect channels to get your resume into the hands of someone who matters, and ensure an invitation to that all-important interview. Why Should you believe me? In my time at McKinsey, Oxford and most recently Google, I have personally assessed multitudes of candidates across classic big-3-type consulting, tech strategy and product manager interviews. I have participated in hiring committee review discussions of hundreds of candidates and I have trained hundreds more in 1:1 and group settings. I have seen candidates both great and terrible, but those that stand out most starkly in my mind, and the vast majority of that I've seen, are the “woefully underprepared”. Let me show you how to avoid the same traps that I've seen dozens of other great candidates succumb to.

Book Description
From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

Bring Your Brain to Work
Author: Art Markman
Publisher: Harvard Business Press
ISBN: 163369612X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
To succeed at work, first you need to understand your own brain If you're in a job interview, how should you think about the mindset of the interviewer? If you've just been promoted, how do you handle the tensions of managing former peers? And what are the telltale mental signs that it's time to start planning your next career move? We know that psychology can teach us much about behaviors and challenges relevant to work, such as making better decisions, influencing people, and dealing with stress. But many popular books on these topics analyze them as universal human phenomena without providing real-life, constructive career help. Bring Your Brain to Work changes all that. Professor, author, and popular radio host Art Markman focuses on three essential elements of a successful career--getting a job, excelling at work, and finding your next position--and expertly illustrates how cognitive science, especially psychology, sheds fascinating and useful light on each of these elements. To succeed at a job interview, for example, you need to understand the mindset of the interviewer and know how to come across as exactly the individual the company wants to hire. To keep that job, it's critical to master the mental challenge of learning every day. Finally, careers require constant development, so you need to be able to sense when it's time to move up or out and to prepare yourself for the move. So many of the hurdles you face throughout your career are, first and foremost, psychological challenges, and Markman shows you how to use your different mental systems--motivational, social, and cognitive--to manage them more effectively. Integrating the latest research with engaging stories and examples from across the professional spectrum, Bring Your Brain to Work gets inside your head, helping you to succeed through a better understanding of yourself and those around you.
