Snag a job quickly using the simple proven step by step system outlined in this amazing new guidebook. We're talking about jobs a paying as much as $16 to $28 an hour or more ...to start! And the part is that many of these jobs do NOT require prior experience or education in the area of employment and offer full on the job training.

Learn how to snag a job with no experience, how to make a resume, how to get hired even when companies are not hiring. You will learn many secrets about getting jobs into the employment industries that offer excellent pay, job benefits and growth opportunities.

You will learn about the Job Center opportunity that exists in every major city or highly populated town. This is true for most modern cities al over the world and yet many job seekers overlook this opportunity or just are not aware of it. It is by far the fastest and easiest way to get a job even with companies who may tell you "We're not hiring right now" if you were to apply to them directly. These same companies routinely hire people through this outside job center because they HAVE to ...due to imminent needs and positions that the company must fill quickly ...so therefore they bypass the usual hiring process and don't even go through their personnel or HR (Human Resources) department and instead hire through these outside job centers.

You'll learn in this book, insider secrets about working with the right job center and how you can actually work with ALL of them thereby creating tremendous and multiple opportunities for getting hired. Again, this is an actual proven, paint by the numbers step-by-step SYSTEM!

For example you'll learn a proven system that will enable you to get a job in 30 days or less in ANY major city or nearby.

The system that you'll learn in this book will have multiple employers ready to hire you quickly because they have energy needs, must fill vacancies quickly because of an unexpected event such as a workload increase; employees quit, promote or get fired creating an emergency need.

When these types of common events occur these companies will bypass the standard hiring process and will instead hire from within one of the networks that this book will introduce you to. We'll show you how to join ALL the networks following our simple proven SYSTEM which usually has people working within days or weeks at most IF you follow the system exactly as taught in this valuable eye-opening guidebook.

These job centers are the secret back door for getting a job in some of the best companies including many government jobs that ordinarily hire only every few years and hire only the top applicants who score the highest on civil service exams. Even these government agencies must still fill job openings on an emergency basis at times and will open up some jobs on a first come, first served basis temporarily to fill the need.

It's only 37 pages but that is because we value your time and realize that what you seek is a specific, simple, step-by-step SYSTEM and not some lengthy boring dissertation or thesis on employment, the authors life story or endless theory. We bypass all the fluff and tell you what to do on DAY #1 then DAY #2 then DAY #3 etc. And we break it down into simple easy to follow STEPS. Step one) Do THIS, Step two) Do THAT! etc. You WILL appreciate this approach because it WORKS for all ...100% of the job seekers who simply follow the system!

"25 things to say to the interviewer to get the job you want" gives you inspiring, empowering, real-life attributes, real-life skills to take to heart, to own, to use, to impress interviewers with, so you can work, pay your bills, and live your dreams.

If you're looking for a job that let's you do what you're good at, pays you what you're worth, read this book.

And if you want to make your dreams come true, read it over and over again.

It takes a life-time to learn these life-skills. But you don't have that kind of time.

And no one is going to teach them to you. Especially, in school. And not bosses. There just aren't that many good bosses around. Most of them are busy, selfish, or under the gun. Or don't know enough to teach you anything.

Here's a one-of-a-kind book that'll teach you how to get past intreviewers.

But that's the half of it. It'll also teach you the life-skills you need to succeed in business, in your career, in your life.

When you finish reading this book, you'll know what it takes most successful people, at least, half a life-time to learn. Lucky you found it.

For the past few years, I’ve had an opportunity to work with individuals that sit at both sides of the hiring manager’s table – both the hirer and the candidate. The purpose of this text is to take all that I know and help equip job seekers with their own personal HR Department. I want to help you understand different strategies to employ in your search as well as how to respond to the conditions of the market.

Let’s face it. When you are in a job search, you are a statistic. A metric. A dot in the matrix that is calculated, quantified, measured, and filtered without regard for your emotions, feelings, and even your humanity. Recruiting these days is all about finding the best candidate in the shortest amount of time while going through tons and tons of applicants. This book will serve as a tool to help you understand the way recruiting works and use that knowledge to your advantage. It’s not about bending yourself to fit a mold but rather understanding the rules so that you maximize your ability to be you and showcase your skills.

New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestseller

"You can have the finest moves in the talent contest, you can boast a trophy speed-dial list on your iPhone, you can possess the single-mindedness of Paul Revere and be as self-assured as Muhammad Ali . . . and you still won't nail the job unless you know how to mold and merchandise your personal pitch. If this is true when times are booming-and it is-you can only imagine how true it is in times like these."

Harvey Mackay, Fortune magazine's "Mr. Make- Things-Happen," has written five New York Times bestsellers, including one of the most popular business books of all time-Swim with the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive. Now he returns with the ultimate book on how to get, and keep, a job you truly love whether you're twenty-one, fifty-one, or seventy-one.

The average person will have at least three career changes and ten different jobs by age thirty-eight. In this era of downsizing and outsourcing, you can never be sure your job will still exist in five years- or five weeks. So you'd better think of your career as a perpetual job search. That demands a passion for lifetime learning and the skills for relentless and effective networking.

Mackay shows you how to be at your best when things are at their worst. His hard-hitting topics include:

- beating rejection before it beats you
- warning signals that you might be losing your job
- acing interviews
- negotiating the job you want not the job they offer
- taking advantage of the way bosses make hiring decisions
- blending the latest contact tools with old-fashioned face-to-face networking

Uplifting, amusing, and jam-packed with proven tips, Use Your Head to Get Your Foot in the Door will guide you through the toughest job market in decades. It's also the definitive A-to-Z career resource for the rest of your life.

A job-search manual that gives career seekers a systematic, tech-savvy formula to efficiently and effectively target potential employers and secure the essential first interview.

The 2-Hour Job Search shows job-seekers how to work smarter (and faster) to secure first interviews. Through a prescriptive approach, Dalton explains how to wade through the Internet’s sea of information and create a job-search system that relies on mainstream technology such as Excel, Google, LinkedIn, and alumni databases to create a list of target employers, contact them, and then secure an interview—with only two hours of effort. Avoiding vague tips like “leverage your contacts,” Dalton tells job-hunters exactly what to do and how to do it. This empowering book focuses on the critical middle phase of the job search and helps readers bring organization to what is all too often an ineffectual and frustrating process.

Work sucks.

You hate your job and your boss is a credit-stealing jerk. He works you like a dog, plays you and your co-workers against each other, gives you the worst assignments, belittles you, ignores your ideas and destroys what little self-esteem you have left.

Every day you go to work, your soul dies a little more.

You’re fed up with it but you don’t know what to do. The company tells you if you work hard, you’ll get everything you ever wanted but deep down inside, you know it isn’t true.

It’s time to take a short cut. You're going to leapfrog over your co-workers, you're going to manipulate your organization, and you're going to get the job that you deserve.

Sure, it’s not fair, but that’s not what this book is about. If you want “fair”, every county has one. There’s at least one a year. They have cows.

So put away your scruples, put on your game face and get ready.

It’s time to steal your boss’s job.

_________________________________________________________

From the author of "The Warlizard Chronicles" comes a bitingly satirical view of the dog-eat-dog world of corporate advancement.

Insightful and unflinching, "How to Steal Your Boss's Job" will open your eyes, increase your blood pressure, and expose the corporate lies your managers want you to believe.

Once you know, there's no turning back...

Paul Rega is a veteran recruiter with twenty-six years of job hunting and career planning experience. His new job search book, "How To Find A Job: When There Are No Jobs," is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of an Executive Headhunter. Paul takes his readers on an engaging journey where he shares his vast knowledge of the job search process and how to successfully land a job in a weak labor market. This is a necessary and effective job search book for anyone who wants to survive and prosper in today's hyper competitive job market.

In August of 1984, Paul was called into his boss's office at The Fisher Scientific Company and abruptly informed that due to an economic cutback, he would be losing his job! Later that day, still in shock over what had just occurred, he sat on a cold metal folding chair at his local unemployment office, patiently waiting his turn amongst dozens of other seemingly distant minded souls. The thought that he had just lost his first job out of college was tough enough, but he owned a small house he had somehow managed to buy and wondered how he would be able to continue to pay the mortgage. His head jerked sharply upward as his name was finally called for an interview. He vividly recalls the meeting that followed with an older gentleman, a career counselor employed by the state. After Paul endured a battery of questions, the old man said, "Son, push on no matter how disgusting!" He would never forget those simple, but sage words, and knew that the older man understood what his feelings were at this difficult time in his life and probably had been there himself at some point in his career.

In his new book, Paul shares his unique perspective on how to successfully manage the job search process as it relates to a precipitous decline of the US job market. He engages his audience with a fascinating account of his own career struggles and the challenges he has faced as an executive recruiter. Included in his book are hundreds of proven and effective job search techniques and strategies designed to work in a weak labor market, including how to effectively market your background, interviewing skills, network building strategies, effective use of headhunters, salary and benefits negotiation and much more.

As president of an executive search firm, Paul has developed a unique twelve-step career assessment and goal setting process called "Intuitive Personal Assessment" designed to help guide his readers through the discovery and implementation of their desired career path. The self-assessment program utilizes an individual's intuition and incorporates their ideas, skills, interests, values and life experiences to determine one's unique career path.

Paul's message to his readers, many who are now the victims of the country's worst economic downturn since the Great Depression; "As life changes, so often does your career, and to be successful and prosper in today's hyper competitive job market, you must be armed with the proper job search knowledge and skills."

More than 70% of today’s job opportunities come through the “hidden job market”: they’re never advertised, assigned to search firms or internal recruiters, or displayed at job fairs. What’s more, as employers cut recruiting costs, the proportion of “hidden” job opportunities is actually growing. And, since most jobseekers know practically nothing about it, those who do understand it have a powerful inside advantage. Now, two career experts reveal the hidden job market, and show how to use it to dramatically improve your chances of landing a job that fits your passions and skills perfectly. Duncan Mathison and best-selling author Martha Finney help you launch a custom, personal job search that avoids competing with thousands of desperate, laid-off job seekers. Learn how to: Use the hidden job market to leap-frog salary levels or even change professions Uncover hidden market opportunities, and your target employers’ unspoken needs and wants Tell your story in two minutes, and make people want to know more Get the interviews that count, and run them like a pro Network without sounding phony, lame or desperate Reframe experiences, passions, and hobbies as “transferrable skills” Build a strategic support team of advisors Identify a “dead-ended” job search, and get it restarted Negotiate compensation for “hidden” jobs.

An Essential Career Guide

It was a very engaging read where the author incorporates many of his personal career stories and insight about the job search process as an executive headhunter. This is by far the best job search book and career planning guide on the market. Mr. Rega's many years of experience as an executive recruiter was evident throughout the book. He shares his extensive knowledge of the job search process with many examples and advice that can only be gained from an expert in his field.
