Network Your Way to Your Next Job...Fast

A companion to "In Search of the Perfect Job" by the same authors, this work shows job changers how to overcome their limitations and gain the needed visibility and support to uncover the right job. Focusing on personal networking, this guide shows how to maximize contacts with personal leads, search firms, employment agencies and target organizations for a fast, effective job search. It includes reader-friendly features: checklists, mini-case studies, sample forms and exercises, "power language" scripts and cartoons; stories to begin each chapter which dramatize how recent job-seekers mastered the skill of networking; and supportive advice for readers who have been shocked or numbed by the difficulty of their job search.
