DON'T SEND A
RESUME
And Other Contrarian Rules to Help Land a Great Job
Can you get a job without sending a
resume?
Everybody
knows how to get a job: get together a detailed resume, starting
with your job objective; send it out to plenty of personnel
departments, the more the better so your chances of hitting a good
company increase; wait for the phone to ring. WRONG! All of that
seems to make sense, and perhaps some people have gotten jobs that
way. But if you want a great job, the best way to get it is to
ignore the common wisdom and set yourself head and shoulders above
the average guy.
Greater prosperity
has made the workforce smarter and more competitive than ever.
There are some fantastic jobs out there, but they're harder to get.
Now, bestselling author and innovative thinker Jeffrey J. Fox steps
up to the plate once again with this no-nonsense collection of
surprising and daring rules for landing the right job.
Easy to read,
inspiring, and often counter-intuitive, these concise directives
reflect the values of creative thinking and persistence that have
made Fox one of America's most emulated businessmen.
"The Job-Getting
Blueprint" and "The Job Seeker's Glossary" will guide you on your
way, as will the basic form and variations for a "Boomerang
Letter." Fox's rules not only help today's job seekers devise a
winning strategy, but also show how to prepare for and make the
best impression in an interview. This wisdom-packed book gives
readers the edge on the competition, and helps prepare them for the
challenges and rewards of landing not just a good job, but a great
one.
