Great Approach to Job Search-Find expanding small companies
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Recommends job seekers approach expanding small companies. Growth can be inferred through increases in stock prices. Job seekers should; 1) study industry periodicals and investment newsletters. 2) seek comments from venture capitalists and stock pickers; 3) focus on three rapidly expanding companies at a time and target them. One strong chapter describes handling an initial screening call from a company. Read it if you have trouble responding quickly to questions. Also recommends ways of leaving messages on voice mail that invite people to call back.Adapted from Annotated Bibliography of Learning A Living; A Guide to Planning Your Career and Finding A Job for People with Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, and Dyslexia
Very Worthwhile Job Hunting Book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I've read numerous job hunting books, but this one offers the unique perspective of the authors' experiences as recruiters. With this view from the other side of the desk (hiring), they let you in on what works and what commonly practiced job search techniques are a waste of your time.The book is thorough in covering numerous aspects of the job search process. Some topics covered include, but are not limited to: The New Job Market, Motivating Yourself in the Search Process, Researching Industries/Companies, Telephone Skills, Resumes and Cover Letters, Getting in Front of Decesion Makers, Getting Hired, etc.Sadly, this book is vastly underpublized.
Good advice for job hunters.

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Cheri and Jackie,Back on Jan 10, 1995, I bought your book, The New Rules of the Job Search Game. Upon my first reading, either I was not in the right mindset to understand the powerful secrets of the Focus Method or I did not possess the maturity to accept the reality of what it takes to obtain a high paying, white-collar job in the 1990's. The other day, I re-read your book. Thank you both for writing this book! This time around, I understand the process and what it takes to get a high-paying job. No longer will I be enslaved by employment advertising, employment agencies and random luck. Your excellent explanation of the Focus Method is what every job seeker needs to successfully obtain the job of their choice with confidence.Pierre Johnson
Great book with some actual NEW ideas
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Contains a number of tips I haven't seen in any other job-search books; includes tips on getting advance info on a company and surviving phone interviews. I've been recommending it to all job-hunters I know for the last 2 years.Updated comment: Still a great book, but a bit dated with respect to email and other electronic methods.
