Last summer I was contacted eight days in a row by professionals from five countries on three continents, each asking for help during a job search. Some wanted to find a new opportunity, others had to. Their questions were different and covered the full spectrum from starting the hunt to prepping for a big interview. Eight days in a row told me there is a need for help. Getting a New Job fills the need.
The book answers everything I was asked about, as well as explains the behavioral dynamics involved from the talking heads on both sides of the desk: the hiring manager’s and the candidate’s.
Every job comes with some degree of situational inconvenience. If it didn’t, an employer wouldn’t need to pay to get the work done. Navigating the interview process successfully to earn a desired opportunity is often harder than the responsibilities we are paid to complete.
Getting a New Job reveals the behavioral dynamics of packaging and presenting your best, most confident self when pursuing whatever it is you wish to do. The book explains the three vital questions to ask yourself when mulling over whether to leave a job; exiting one line of work to try another; packaging your personal value proposition; and what to say and how to say it during interviews. The book covers all of this and much more. Most importantly, as it teaches it explains the “why.”Results since publication have been gratifying. Sometimes all a good person needs is a bit of front-end coaching to reposition a life and career. Getting a New Job provides just that. If it helps you, make sure to let me know.
