Description

For over a decade, It’s Your Move has been helping Canadian executives, managers and professionals get the job they really want with proven advice and strategies. Today, competition for jobs is tough, but at the same time, opportunities for career change are plentiful. Thoroughly revised and updated throughout, It’s Your Move offers clear, proven advice and strategies including

  • How to use social media effectively—from establishing a powerful online presence to making the most of professional sites such as LinkedIn.
  • A step-by-step guide to networking—approaching contacts and conducting networking meetings in a way that generates new leads and, eventually, employment opportunities.
  • The importance of research for the job search—how to differentiate yourself from the competition through research that goes much deeper than what can be found easily on the Internet.
  • How you negotiate a job offer—this can set a positive or negative tone for your relationship with a new employer.

Understand what to negotiate and what to leave as is. For the millions of Canadians contemplating a career change or currently experiencing a sudden job loss, the updated edition of It’s Your Move will be a key tool in their storehouse of career strategies.
