This review is from: Get the Job You Want: Successful Strategies for Selling Yourself in the Job Market (Paperback)

This book tells you how to get job interviews even when you have been turned down by a personnel department. While being good at what you do is important, in today's job market it is not enough. You have to know how to promote and sell yourself. You can't be hired unless you're interviewed and you won't be interviewed unless you convince the potential employer you're worth meeting, and you can't do that unless you know how to effectively market yourself. And that's what this book shows you in great detail, complete with examples, exercises, tests, and strategies galore. It helped me get my foot in the door.
