Book Description

October 30, 2009

Are you struggling to find work in today's crazy business environment?

Finding a job anytime is a challenge. It's even worse when the economy is in bad shape. Traditional job search strategies are stacked against you. And, it's virtually impossible to come out a winner when hundreds of qualified people apply for the same position.

It's time to stop playing the old game! This new book will change how you look at job hunting forever. You won't learn how to write a better resume, prepare for interviews or excel at networking. Instead, you'll find out how to eliminate that ordeal entirely.

In Get Back to Work Faster, you'll discover how to:

• Sharpen your value proposition so it appeals to employers.
• Position yourself as an invaluable resource, not a job seeker.
• Developing compelling emails, letters and phone messages.
• Target and research prospective employers.
• Launch an effective campaign to get a new position.
• Earn an income while you're still looking for work.
• Get employers to create a new position specifically for you.
• ... and much more!

Use these fresh strategies to become a "must hire" candidate and land a new job without any competition.

Get Back To Work Faster is BRILLIANT! This practical system, that any job seeker can implement, takes the agony out of the job search and puts YOU firmly in control. - Jeb Blount, CEO of SalesGravy.com, Author of Power Principles and 7 Rules For Outselling The Recession

Get Back to Work Faster is required reading for anyone looking to recover from a job loss, as well as anyone who is looking to establish their own brand.  Read this book now before it's too late. - Dan Schawbel, Personal Branding Expert, Author of Me 2.0

5.0 out of 5 stars Use this Guide to Go Out and Create the Job Perfect for You, October 31, 2009
This review is from: Get Back To Work Faster: The Ultimate Job Seeker's Guide (Paperback)
This is one of the best books I've read that's all about helping people differentiate themselves from the sea of resumes and traditional job search tactics that just don't work anymore. And, heck, Jill Konrath is a specialist at seeing things differently to get knock-out results. Perhaps a reason her book, "Selling to Big Companies", has been a best seller for about 3 years running.

A few things you should know about Get Back to Work Faster:

* Jill employs a real-life scenario to put her ideas into practice and shares the process in the book. So this isn't just advice, it's a book jammed full of ideas that really work.

* Digital tools and resources are used creatively to help you build a personal brand.

* This book will help you get over the idea of finding a job and start working proactively to create the perfect job for you. What a great way to go about putting yourself to work!

* If you've never thought about your personal value proposition, you will now. In fact, I'd say that's worthwhile for all of us--working or not.

* Worried about all the competition for the few jobs out there? Get Back to Work Faster shows you how to eliminate competition by being the most valuable person on the planet your target employer could ever choose to hire.

This book will help you create and launch your personal stimulus plan.

Do yourself a favor and buy Get Back to Work Faster. Then Tell a Friend and share it with others. They'll thank you!

And one last thing. Even if you have a job, this book can be an invaluable resource for developing and expanding your personal brand. In this day and age, if you don't have one, you should.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jill Konrath knows Her Stuff!, November 3, 2009
This review is from: Get Back To Work Faster: The Ultimate Job Seeker's Guide (Paperback)
I want to tell all prospective buyers of this book is that it is an "Outside the Box" Blockbuster! In it she describes the quickest way back to work. She outlines the efforts of people out of work and looking for unique ways to land in the world of the employed. She gets the creative juices in your head going on what to do towards that goal She is insightful and cleaver in her approach that i'm sure you will find useful. As a salesman for over 25 years I find that during the job search that I tend to forget what I know about selling products or services. It seems as good as I know I am at selling those things I am crappy at selling myself to a prospective employer. Jill's book got me back on track!

The book is easily worth much more than it's price tag. I recommend it highly!
