Winning That Job - Jon Gregory - Bog

Finding a good job and establishing the start of a career is hard work. The right qualifications are vital, but they alone won't win an interview. Relevant work experience is a necessity, but on its own won't win that job offer. So what will?
Technique.
Today, job applicants face a multi-stage challenge and they must: survive initial selection by software robots; get approval from the HR gate-keepers; stand out from their peers during complex multi-stage selection interviews; and finally individually win over the decision-making managers.
This book shows job-hunters how to avoid getting caught out through sending hundreds of applications, wasting time at odds of 1000 to 1 or worse, only to get nothing. Step by step, using the latest tools and techniques, it takes job-hunters through:
finding and targeting the right opportunities, including the 'hidden' ones; pressing the right buttons on their CVs, on applications and online; distilling the killer shots out of even a short period of work-experience; preparing so systematically that they effectively win the job before the interview; controlling their nerves & demonstrating that they really are the No. 1 choice. Job hunters can be sure that, if they learn a good set of search, application and interview skills now, they're going to have lots of opportunity to re-use them during the course of their working lives. Learning how to win that job by applying the techniques from this book is likely to be the best investment they'll ever make in themselves.
