Review:
It makes no sense (and is no fun) to play such a high-stakes game without knowing the rules! Essentials of Job Search will teach you the hows and, even more important, the whys of the career search game. Knowing the answers to these questions will make anyone more competitive in the job market. Finding the right job can be extremely challenging and, at times, disheartening. Mary s book will help you prepare to make the most of any situation. --Tom Hall Vice President, Talent Acquisition, Allstate
As a human resource executive I can tell you firsthand that it is challenging to hire top talent. People may have good credentials but don t interview well. They may interview well but don t have the right skills or long-term trajectory needed by the company. This book is also a healthy reminder to those behind the hiring desk just how hard a job search can be. The next time you re busy and don t want to accept the networking calls, this is a good reminder to reach out and help those that are in search. A job search is really a simple process, though it s understood by very few. This book is written in a very logical format to help people through the entire process. It is easy to read and understand. It s not a textbook full of graphs, charts, and theories but a practical guide. I hope you can learn from this book and land the job of your dreams. --Karen May Executive Vice President, Human Resources, Mondelez International
In the job search, the devil is in the details, and in Essentials of Job Search, Mary Stern provides those details: pragmatic advice you can apply immediately, stories that will change the way you look at the job search process. --Susan Z. Finerty author of Master the Matrix: 7 Essentials of Getting Things Done in Complex Organizations
