How to Get a Job in 90 Days or Less: A Realistic Action Plan for Finding the Right Job Fast
Consider human resources consultant DeLuca a personal cheerleader during your job search. He organizes and analyzes the searcher's life with enthusiasm, energy, and style. Confused about the hows and whys of headhunters? DeLuca lists all facts and fiction about recruiters, noting that U.S. search firms alone received 11 million re{&#x82;}sume{&#x82;}s for 14,000 positions. Wondering how to handle the totally incompetent interviewer? Listen carefully, determine his or her style and pace, and then interact accordingly. Thought exercises are partnered with checklists of activities completed. The traditional subjects of the job search--e.g., re{&#x82;}sume{&#x82;}s, letters, questions to ask and be asked, self-assessment quizzes--are included; DeLuca is best, though, when he helps analyze what went right, what failed, and how to counteract mistakes--in general, provides a psychological point of view on every step toward full employment.Barbara Jacobs
