Looking for work? Having difficulty in landing your dream job... or any job? Don't know how to do it? You're Hired! 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!

This is the digital version of the printed book (Copyright © 2004). Proven Methods for Attracting, Interviewing, and Hiring Technical Workers Good technical people are the foundation on which successful high technology organizations are built. Establishing a good process for hiring such workers is essential. Unfortunately, the generic methods so often used for hiring skill-based staff, who can apply standardized methods to almost any situation, are of little use to those charged with the task of hiring technical people. Unlike skill-based workers, technical people typically do not have access to cookie-cutter solutions to their problems. They need to adapt to any situation that arises, using their knowledge in new and creative ways to solve the problem at hand. As a result, one developer, tester, or technical manager is not interchangeable with another. This makes hiring technical people one of the most critical and difficult processes a technical manager can undertake. Hiring the Best Knowledge Workers, Techies & Nerds: The Secrets & Science of Hiring Technical People takes the guesswork out of hiring and diminishes the risk of costly hiring mistakes. With the aid of step-by-step descriptions and detailed examples, you'll learn how to write a concise, targeted job description source candidates develop ads for mixed media review résumés quickly to determine Yes, No, or Maybe candidates develop intelligent, nondiscriminatory, interview techniques create fool-proof phone-screens check references with a view to reading between the lines extend an offer that will attract a win-win acceptance or tender a gentle-but-decisive rejection and more An effective hiring process is crucial to saving an organization the costs and consequences of a bad hiring decision. Not only is a bad hire costly in terms of recruiting expenses and the time spent hiring, it can also bog down or derail projects that may already be running late. You, your team, and your organization will live with the long-term consequences of your hiring decision. Investing time in developing a hiring strategy will shorten your decision time and the ramp-up time needed for each new hire. Technical leaders, project and program managers, and anyone putting together a team of technical workers will greatly benefit from this book.
