Book Description

Don't waste days, weeks and months following the job search "rules." Learn how to take charge and get offers for the work you love at the price you're worth. Most job search "experts" have never endured the pain of an extended job search. For two years and three days Molly Wendell, a former Vice President of marketing, lived it. It wasn't until she fired the "job boards" and quit following the rules that she figured out what really works. In 90 days, she secured 60 meetings and received 30 job offers. With a Black Belt in job search and the battle scars to prove it, Molly's strategies for landing your next great position are the most innovative and important you will encounter today.

4.0 out of 5 stars How to become a networking Jedi Master, August 8, 2009

This review is from: The New Job Search: Break All The Rules. Get Connected. And Get Hired Faster For The Money You're Worth. (Paperback)

I admit that when I saw the book I thought there probably was nothing new in here and frankly I had low expectations. I was pleasantly surprised. This is actually a very good book and while networking is not new to any of us, Molly has some great tips and valuable insight combined with some humor to keep it light. It was a pleasant and easy read, and at the same time it was very relevant and has great tips and advice throughout. I really enjoyed it, got some great insights and ideas from it and highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Discover What You Are Meant To Be Doing As You Search For Work!, July 31, 2009

By 

Bernie L. Malonson "B. Malonson" (Chandler, AZ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The New Job Search: Break All The Rules. Get Connected. And Get Hired Faster For The Money You're Worth. (Paperback)

Molly Wendell is a networker's "Networker". Her business is helping you to network your way to your next position. If you ever attend an event she is at, do your best to make contact with her. Don't be surprised however if she sizes you up first a bit. As a participant in her Executives Network, I am constantly impressed by Molly's ability to cut to the chase and get to the heart of what is holding you back. This book is pure meat, with little if any fat. The key is to understand that all of us are where we are for a reason, and sometimes it is the adversity we are facing in a job or career change that is needed to propel us forward. Unlike other job and career "consultants" Molly has started unemployment in the face (for two years) and emerged victorious. The book is well worth the money and highly recommended.

Cheers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Uncommon Common Sense, July 28, 2009

By 

E. Gibson "Avid Reader" (Arizona) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The New Job Search: Break All The Rules. Get Connected. And Get Hired Faster For The Money You're Worth. (Paperback)

You won't find a job by reading this book, but you will find pure, unadulterated common-sense tips for both those in a job search and those who are in an employee search. When was the last time you met someone new and had an "interesting conversation?" When you have them, you remember, don't you?

Herein lies the basis of Molly's advice on a search. There are so many pointers on how to meet the people who will offer you a job -- what to do, what not to do, how to do it, etc. There are relevant stories about real-life experiences, a great summary at the end of each chapter and a style of writing that makes this an easy, humorous and informative read.
