"The job-search problem that occurs for most people is that the process changes after their first job or after they have been recruited for a number of jobs, therefore they do not have a successful process to fall back on", writes recruiting consultant, and the "RecruiterGuy", Bill Humbert, in his practical and results oriented book RecruiterGuy's Guide to Finding a Job. The author describes how what is usually thought of as the job search process, is really a combination of several processes. The author breaks this series of processes into manageable steps that can be followed successfully by any job seeker.
Bill Humbert recognizes that many different processes form what is usually thought of as a job search. By altering the approach to its various component processes, the author helps the employment seeker to understand the the importance of each step. For Bill Humbert, these processes are the ones that every job hunter must work through and accomplish successfully to achieve the end goal of landing that desired job. Unfortunately, for most current job seekers, the processes they understand and utilized successfully in the past, are no longer effective in the modern job market. Bill Humbert acknowledges that the change involved with finding new employment is difficult and traumatic for most people. As a result, the author presents the various processes in an easily understand format to reduce the stress, and to enhance the sense of accomplishment, for any employment seeker.
Bill Humbert (photo left) organizes this cornucopia of job finding processes in an accessible format where the reader is advised to read the chapters in any order. The book is designed to be used as a hands on employment seeking resource. The arrangement of the chapters is roughly sequential for the recommended processes, but each chapter is a stand alone module that addresses a job hunter's specific requirements. The various processes included in the book are:
* Accepting psychologically why one is seeking a new position
* Deciding on a goal to be achieved
* Developing a resume
* Researching and networking to discover job opportunities
* Interviewing skills
* Salary negotiation process
* Offer acceptance process
* Starting the new job successfully from the start
For me, the power of the book is how Bill Humbert focuses on the end goal of finding the right job and getting started the right way on the new job. To achieve this goal, the author breaks the entire job hunting process down into its various component parts. For every job seeker, the emphasis on each part of the overall process will be unique to every individual. As a result, Bill Humbert offers a module based format that can be read in any order. The book is intended as a working tool for job hunters, and it's designed in that format. The overall value of the book is further enhanced with the inclusion of action verbs to include in resumes and cover letters; as well as some frequently used interview questions to help the job hunter improve those critical interviewing skills.
I highly recommend the very useful and easy to understand book RecruiterGuy's Guide to Finding a Job by Bill Humbert, to anyone who is actively seeking a job, or who is considering a change in their employment. This very skills based book will give any job hunter an advantage over the competition. That edge is essential in today's difficult and challenging job market.
Read the valuable insider's guide RecruiterGuy's Guide to Finding a Job by Bill Humbert, and discover the collection of processes that will result in your successful job search. This book is your road map to the job of your dreams.
