“50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading” by The Authors Show - http://tinyurl.com/co8xmlp
Since 1981, Bill Humbert has worked with thousands of managers and candidates, and has voluntarily helped hundreds of people find their next position even in recessions. Because he has helped so many people find their next job, he decided it was time to write a book that assists the jobseeker to understand the sales processes involved and helps them to be more successful.
The processes in the book, RecruiterGuy’s Guide to Finding a Job, may be used by anyone from a C-level executive to a college recruit. The job-search sales process is a combination of several processes. This is very important to remember. When you look at the job-search process as a series of smaller important processes, you understand why so many books have been written on different aspects of the search. Now it is easier to see why so many people are frustrated during a job search. They think they are "just looking for a job." Treat your job search as work. It is hard work.
The search is worth it if you find a job where you can make positive, measurable impacts and have fun doing so in other words, one that makes you happy. Humbert’s goal is for you to find a job you enjoy so much that at the end of each day you say to yourself, "I enjoyed myself so much today, I can t believe they are actually paying me to do this!"
RecruiterGuy’s Guide to Finding a Job has been organized by process so you can pick it up at any time and review chapters that affect your situation. Do not read this book from front to back like a novel. Use it as a reference to help you work through each process. Each process has its place and each process is important to do well. These are the processes that you will work through on the way to successfully finding your next job:—-Your psychological acceptance process if you were laid off or otherwise feel betrayed by your last employer or board—-Deciding your next direction or focus, and setting a goal to achieve it—-The resume-development process (for some of us that truly is a work in progress!)—-The research/networking process (sourcing/prospecting in sales)—-The interviewing process (needs analysis in sales)—-The offer/salary negotiation process—-The offer-acceptance process—-The on-boarding process when you accept the company’s offer and start working.
This book has been developed to help you understand the processes and begin the day-to-day steps to be successful. Lao Tzu said, "A journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step." It is time for you to take the first step. If you fall down, go back to the last point where you were successful and begin again. You can do it. Believe it or not now, your successes will lift you.
