Book Description

January 1, 1999
We live in a constantly changing economy. Corporate reorganizations, new technologies and global competition affect all our lives. Workers today will hold many jobs and will change careers several times. Workers who keep up with change will see greater potential for personal growth and economic security.

One area of change is the way people look for work. It is not enough to be ready and willing to work. A successful job search today requires a very calculated effort. Job seekers not only need marketable job skills, they need the skills to market them. You may be motivated toward employment, and you may be good at what you do, but if you cannot convince a potential employer that you are the most qualified, you will not be the one who wins the job. Today's successful job seekers use a variety of skills and strategies that can be learned. While individual success may vary, proven benefits of mastering job search strategies include:

* Shorter time to achieve a new job * Increase in the number of interviews and job offers * Higher starting wage * Reduced fear of unemployment * Increase in potential for job satisfaction

Creative Job Search will teach the skills needed to conduct a successful job search.


Editorial Reviews

Review

"I found Creative Job Search to be the most valuepacked resource I have ever seen." -- Job Seeker

"This site, maintained by the Minnesota Department of Economic Security, has put together the equivalent of a job-search manual, on their "Creative Job Search" page. Mark this: these authors really understand what skills are (refreshing on the Internet). Employment applications, interviews, etc., are also covered." -- Richard Nelson Bolles, author of The 1998 What Color is Your Parachute?

"You have, by far, the best information available in America." -- Private Employment Counselor
