How to Find a Job in 6 Weeks

How to Find a Job in 6 Weeks (2nd Edition) is the revised version of this successful book first published in 2003. The 6 week job search method was originally developed by the author as a unique method for finding a job quickly by using proven job search techniques. It's a practical straightforward aid to assist job hunters to develop successful job search skills quickly and efficiently. It is written in a clear and jargon-free style and is structured in a way that allows the reader to move through each chapter or topic at their own pace. It includes checklists, tables and scenarios for role playing, or rehearsing the interview process with Australian statistics and Information. The author emphasises the practical aspects of job hunting in the modern world and presents his knowledge and experience in five easy to digest chapters coaching the reader on: How to develop and apply job search skills quickly, simply and effectively. How to write "killer" application letters and C.Vs that get noticed. How to get around the fact that today 75 per cent of jobs are not advertised. How to use a proven strategy to master your responses to an interview technique used by most employers today. How to turn your life around and even prosper from the experience of redundancy. The author is highly qualified to write this book having been on both sides of the job search. As a Human Resources Manager he has both 'hired and fired' but the motivation to write and research this book was when he himself was made redundant with, at that time, two young children, a wife who was not working and a mortgage. How to Find a Job in Six Weeks also goes beyond basic job search information and advice. It provides techniques for managing your current job, work performance appraisals and for career management and development. The author believes that improving these skills will ultimately ensure more successful outcomes when you are in the job market.
