Description
This book will give a glimpse into how employers look for candidates and how they screen them. This book will also give you a glimpse into what works, what does not, what should work, but does not always work, and what you would normally expect not to work, but it does, at least sometimes, when job searching. Finally, this book will help you understand what you are offering, to whom you are offering it, and, most importantly, why anybody would care enough to give it a try and offer you a job.

Excerpt: The Get-It-Done Job Search: Find an Employer Who Will Hire You (by (author) Lana Guzman; photographs by Edgar Guzman)
Job search is probably as old as the humanity itself. Even in the most primitive of a society, jobs were sought and assigned, either for a barter or a monetary compensation. With the societal evolution over time, jobs too became more complex, the assignment of jobs and seeking a job has become more complex as well. The essence, however, the fact that we seek a job as a means of substantiating our physical, and mental, existence has remained. Even today, the great majority of people of working age who seek jobs are still seeking jobs to make a living. Few people, although they most definitely exist, seek a job purely out of self-fulfillment necessity and not because they need a salary to live of.
