    About this ebook

    Read this book now on your PC, smart phone, tablet, kindle device or paperback.
    This book is a comprehensive collection of the latest strategies in career planning to reach and impress hiring managers at your desired employment destination.
    Highlights of this amazing book:
     



    • Map out your job search using our career roadmap


    • Get a leg up on your competition by using the hidden network


    • Build a resume and cover letter combination that is customized to your dream job, and gets noticed by company HR personnel and hiring managers


    • Master negotiation tactics to get you the highest possible offer


    • Make sure the first steps you take in your new job take you on the right path to career success.


    One of the chapters we think most job seekers would find most beneficial is on the invisible (or hidden) job market. I always knew that some jobs got filled before being publicly advertised but I was shocked to learn that 80% jobs are not publicly advertised. The jobs that are not made public are what we call the invisible or hidden job market.  Unfair, I hear you say. We agree. And it is even worse than that - of the remaining 20%, hiring managers may already have someone in mind before they are advertised.
    At this stage you are probably wondering when we would talk about resumes and cover letters. After all, this is supposed to be a career book. The chapter on resumes and cover letters gets to the point and shows you how to customize your resumes and cover letters to achieve maximum impact.
    In the 'ace the interview' chapter we show you a powerful technique to prepare and answer interview questions. The recommended STAR approach provides a framework that is both logical and easy to follow.
    Now that you have aced multiple interviews and received multiple job offers, how do you choose between jobs? How do you negotiate a fair salary? We have you fully covered here as well. You will learn about how to use the ZOPA (zone of possible agreement) and the reservation point to help you obtain the great salary you deserve.
    Your family, employer and the world are waiting to see the best of you and we know you aspire to the same as well. Therefore, unlike most career books we want you to reach beyond obtaining a job to mastering your job. We aptly conclude the book with a roadmap on how to master your job.
    We believe in you and think you should become a master at your job, no matter what it is. Your chances of fulfilling your dreams will increase and the world would be a much better place.

      Introduction

      The famous comedian Drew Carey once said, "Oh, you hate your job? Why didn’t you say so? There’s a support group for that. It’s called everybody and they meet at the bar." There’s a great deal of truth to this.

      According to a poll by the Society of Human Resource Management in 2015, around one in three Americans said they wanted to leave their job within the next six months. Forty-three percent said they would quit their job if a better opportunity arose and 28 percent said they had already quit their job. (Ref Article 1 in 3 workers Want to Quit, HR Better Figure Out Why"

      There are several reasons a person might hate their career. Most of these are factors outside the control of the employee, such as poor company management, lack of career advancement, boring work, or too much work. Many of these factors can be dealt with by changing jobs or complaining to human resources; however, a lot of them are career or industry related and you might end up facing the same problems in a different job under different management.

      What if you could prevent this from happening by choosing a field that you are compatible with and one that is compatible with you? Research the jobs you want by getting all the job details beforehand, understanding your strengths and interests, and learning from the experiences of others.

      With a combined 30 years of industry and job search experience, the authors of this book have composed a road map to get you to your dream job or career. Having been through this ourselves, we understand the need for a book like this. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at modernjobsgalore@gmail.com.

      Congratulations on obtaining this book. It’s the first step to getting the job of your dreams. Every great achievement starts off with a well-articulated plan. And because the job hunt can be a chaotic mess, it takes a lot of planning to map out your interests and skills with the job market.

      Your Dream Job Road Map

      Organizing information in a systematic way is generally seen to be an incredibly boring aspect of our daily lives. Whether it’s organizing a grocery list, making a list of projects at work, or even a simple list of things to do over the weekend, it’s not a part of the day we look forward to. However, organization is a key to success in both our business and personal lives. Making sense of the chaos in our personal and professional lives and simplifying everything down to a list of items is the first step in taking control of your life.

      In the same way, the modern job search is a chaotic mess. With millions of job listings and job seekers exhausting multiple online and offline sources, it can be an intimidating proposition for many people. Most rely on popular job forums such as CareerBuilder.com and Monster.com to avoid the greater mess around. They often apply to every single job they find online and clutch at straws. Few rely entirely on their network or newspapers.

      Through 30 years of combined job search experience, the authors of this book have come up with a road map to help organize your personal job search. We will take into account your current dreams, skills, needs, and network as well as the current job market and combine these to greatly improve your job prospects.
