The Job Hunting Handbook
The Job Hunting Handbook
The best job-search plan you can get
and the easiest one to use.

-----

“Where are the jobs? Is anyone out there hiring? What’s the best way to get hired?”

Like most job hunters, you’re probably spending hours online, searching for job openings, filling out job applications, crossing your fingers, and hoping an employer will call you. But your phone doesn’t ring.

Maybe it’s time to try something different—time to try The Job Hunting Handbook.

1. Learn how employers hire—and why 80 percent of all job openings are not advertised.
2. See how “people you know” can help you break into the hidden job market—a job market that hired 44 million people in 2011.
3. Uncover the requirements listed in the employer’s job description—and discover the kind of person the hiring manager is looking to hire.
4. Then, just fill-in-the-blanks to craft a resume that turns the employer’s job description into your list of accomplishments.
5. You’ll also walk, line by line, through a standard job application. You’ll learn to spot the trick questions and know how to answer them. You’ll also build a crib sheet so you can fill out a perfect job application, first time, every time.
6. Want more interviews? Just follow the easy, step-by-step instructions to get job interviews using—networking, job fairs, open houses, employment agencies, career centers, social media, help ads, and contacting hiring managers direct.
7. Did you know, eighty percent of hiring managers say that cover letters are important? Writing your cover letter couldn’t be easier. With the powerful AIDA recipe, all you have to do is complete four sentences.
8. If a hiring manager sees something she likes in your cover letter, resume, or job application, she’ll give you a call. That phone call is actually a screening interview. You need to pass the telephone screen to get the job interview. Learn how to talk to a hiring manager, answer questions with ease, and sell yourself with a great little sales pitch.
9. The average job interview lasts about 55 minutes. The Job Hunting Handbook gives you the 50 questions most hiring managers will ask. It also explains why managers ask these questions—and how to answer them.
10. Speaking of job interviews, your appearance, your enthusiasm, and your handshake make a huge statement about your personality. See why they matter—and get dozens of tips to help create your best impression ever.
11. Employers want to talk to three people who can vouch for you. Learn how to get “good recommendations,” and what to do if a former boss won’t give you one.
12. When your interview is over, try this: Send the manager a thank-you note. A few days later, send a work-related idea letter. One week after your interview, call the manager to see if you got the job. Don’t be afraid to do this. You can bet the hiring manager is watching to see who puts in the extra effort.
