Far too many people are stuck in a nowhere position, in the wrong environment, working for a boss they hate. Worse yet, they're clueless about how to land a better job.
Not knowing what to do, they resort to the old standby:
their resume. People assume their resume accounts for 90 percent of getting a new job. The truth is, though, it's maybe 10 percent! They don't know what it really takes, and they have nowhere to turn.
Lose the Resume, Land the Job serves up the kind of straight talk that no one--not your spouse, partner, friend, mentor or anyone else--will tell you. It will show you how to:
- Know yourself
- Target opportunities
- Network like it's a contact sport
- Showcase your "ACT" (Being authentic, making a connection, and giving others a taste of what it's like to work with you.)
If this sounds like what you're missing, you're in luck. In these pages, you'll find all you need to get a clue--and become
more empowered as you lose the resume and land the job. www.losetheresume.com
