Synopsis
The first book to give job searchers the linkage skills they need to connect and manage each aspect of the job search. Linkage is the ability to tie together each aspect of the job search--a good résumé, strong interviewing and networking skills, and a timely follow-up letter--so you have a cohesive job campaign. The result is a total job search system; from crafting a résumé that supports and reinforces what the job searcher wants to say at the interview, to going back to that same résumé to answer tough questions at the interview table. Features sample résumés and cover letters, and shows why linking each aspect of the job hunt is the key to employment--then provides proven techniques how to do it. Shows you how to assess and target career directions, prepare résumés and references, locate companies with jobs, succeed at the interviewing table, and negotiate the deal you want.
