Job seekers today need more than just a good resume. They need to know how to get their resumes in front of the right people and get responses. Ask anyone looking for a job and they will tell you that the most frustrating part of their search is that they don't get replies.
This happens because we've been told to think that conducting a job search means completing applications online, attaching resumes and cover letters, and clicking "submit." For a lot of people a good day of job hunting means applying to a bunch of jobs and waiting.
This is not a great strategy. Response rates are terrible. Everyone applies for everything. Companies become buried in data, build even higher walls, and whole careers are reduced to a few keywords.
Instead of applying and hoping, "Modern Job Search" will teach you how to start conversations, build relationships, create interview opportunities, get real feedback, and ultimately get offers.
The strategies in "Modern Job Search" are based on over 20 years of real world corporate headhunting, candidate marketing, and recruiting experience. "Modern Job Search" will show you how to:
- Start your job search (understand value in the job market)
- Identify hiring managers and other useful contacts
- Prepare resumes that really work
- Get in front of decision makers
- Prepare for and control interviews
- Negotiate good offers
- Transition from one job to the next efficiently and professionally
Your career is worth an investment in "Modern Job Search," even if it's not the only job search book you buy. It's a competitive world and you need all the help you can get.
Please don't forget to leave a review! Thank you and good luck! -- Kurt Schmidt

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
