Synopsis

Successful job seekers have two major skills their competitors don't: the psychological endurance to approach job opportunities fearlessly, and the ability to adapt to a variety of situations to position themselves as each interviewer's dream candidate. Fearless Job Hunting offers these powerful psychological techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and reveals the strategies decision makers in top corporations use to find and hire exceptional employees

"Fearless Job Hunting will teach you how to think rationally so that you can get out of your own way to get the job of your dreams."---ALDOR. PUCCI, PSY.D., president of the National Association of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapists
