And while life has been a tornado around me, there is one thing I've been able to do. That one thing has been staying employed, and I want to help you do the same, no matter what life is throwing at you in this moment. This is the REAL deal about what you can do in order to continue earning a paycheck, even when everything feels like a dumpster fire. In this book, I share the following: Preparing your resume and researching potential employersSuccessfully submitting job applications and cover lettersJob interview techniques and preparationMaking a good first and last impression in your career searchFollowing up in ways that increase your chances of getting employment offers after interviewingSample interview questions and approaches to providing great answersTips to keep a pipeline of other job opportunitiesWith more than 20 years working as a leadership training professional in several Fortune 100 companies, I've partnered with frontline hiring managers who do the interviewing. I've taught them what to look for, the questions to ask, and what's the standard approach to hiring correctly. But more importantly, I've seen how recruiters and Human Resource professionals ACTUALLY select and submit job applicants, and how interviewers ACTUALLY make their decisions about who to hire. On the other side of that, I've personally experienced struggles that made my work life overwhelming for years. Because of those struggles, sometimes keeping a job became difficult. Impossible, at times. However, due to my understanding of the way interviewing and hiring works, and how those decisions are made, I was able to continue to get jobs and remain employed through some of the worst times of my life. In fact, I was offered over 25 jobs during the years when life was at its worst for me. Everything I'm sharing is something that I've personally tried and proven successful to keep working during my own difficult days. This book is intended for those of you who might be experiencing difficult days, yourself. Maybe you're worried about the economy, maybe you're going through a personal loss or illness, maybe your work history is spotty, maybe you have a prison record. Maybe you just hate the job you're in now and are desperately looking for something else. Anyone can benefit from the job searching and interviewing techniques that I share in this book, but for those who are concerned that they are unemployable for any reason, this is a map to finding some security and continuing to find work in uncertain times. I want to help others stay afloat when it seems like everything is trash. Period. I hope that you'll enjoy the humor and wit that I've tried to include in the book. There will be cursing. There will be questionable ethics. There will be some things that you've never seen or heard anyone advise when it comes to a successful job search. But most of all, there will be facts and suggestions that have been proven to work in the real world! Read it, apply it, share it. It's a hustle and a carefully crafted approach - it's JOBBING.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/831/550/9798315500049_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "15.99", "online_price" : "15.99", "our_price" : "15.99", "club_price" : "15.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
