The Job Hunting Book

AUSTRALIAN CAREER BOOK AWARD 2023 FINALIST!

Searching for your first graduate job is an exciting time, but can often leave you feeling lost and frustrated. So here's a secret—it's not all about you! Getting a job interview is also about your employer. Added to this, the tools that recruiters and job seekers use have changed, and to be successful, you'll need:

• An online and in-person profile for yourself before you even approach an employer.
• A job application that solves an employer's problems, and fulfils their hopes and dreams.
• To use technology as the cornerstone of your job seeking process.

In this practical, step-by-step job hunting guide, industry veteran Ian Allan will become your personal career guidance mentor. You'll be given a foolproof process for writing a resume and cover letter that will go straight to the top of the "yes" pile, and a method for job hunting that includes identifying your skills gaps—and what to do about them.

Plus, Ian will teach you useful strategies for finding the four out of five dream jobs that aren't advertised, and share actionable tips on how to build relationships so you get that job interview.

Draw on Ian's decades of experience as an employee, employer and consultant to ensure you become an ideal candidate and land the job you've always wanted.

Bonus content: Four hours of video training and job hunting resources, including LinkedIn profile tips, downloadable templates, and real-world examples of successful job applications.
