Review:
"Really Useful Job Search Tactics -- A Handbook of Contemporary Job Hunting Techniques"
by Rick Gillis
This week, in just two sittings, I read this well-written 185-page handbook for job seekers. Do yourself a favor and buy a copy of Rick's book so you can mark it up, and so you can refer back to it now and then. My copy is full of yellow highlighting marks to help me find the most meaningful text quickly. The handbook is crammed full of useful suggestions to improve your chances of landing a job sooner, not later.
Rick covers a wide range of topics including resumes, cover letters, references, networking, using the phone, the Internet, interviewing, Thank You notes, using staffing companies, filling out online job applications, and other interesting topics. He writes exactly like he talks -- with a high energy level and a firm conviction in his voice that if you follow his suggestions you'll find work faster than other job seekers.
Attention all [jobseekers]:
Your homework assignment this week is to buy Rick's book and start reading it. You can thank me later. If you want to write to Rick directly with your comments he can be reached through his Web site -- http://www.rickgillis.com.

REALLY Useful Job Search Tactics by Rick Gillis is a contemporary, real world, “street credible” handbook on job search techniques. It has been written to help today's job seekers (whether currently employed or not) navigate the brave new world of human resource software and management tools as well as, and perhaps most importantly, how to create The Superior Resume™ (this is not your old college resume).
REALLY Useful Job Search Tactics will teach you how to internalize the Rick Gillis mantra:
“Show me--as an employer--how you are going to Make Me Money or Save Me Money™
--and I will assure you of getting the job you want.”
The issues raised and addressed by REALLY Useful Job Search Tactics include:
-
Age
discrimination and the mature job seeker.
-
The entry-level job seeker.
-
The stay-at-home Mom (I call her The Professional Mom).
-
How to really network.
-
Getting the hiring manager on the phone. (Script included.)
And, the single most important component of REALLY Useful Job Search Tactics:
How to make yourself, your resume and your interview so compelling that your recruiter
will be afraid to let you leave the office for fear that you will end up with the competition!
REALLY Useful Job Search Tactics will guide you step by step through the process of
embedding keywords and phrases in your resume that will guide it the top
of the pile—so that a real person will actually see it!
(You are aware, of course, that your resume is actually “graded”
by a computer before a real person sees it - if anyone sees it at all!)
Something I am most proud of: every bit of advice offered in REALLY Useful Job Search Tactics can be applied to your job search today--right now!
