Preface
Get a Job
Today's job market is diving in the ocean and sinking, drowning, fighting the waves, or being eaten alive by sharks. Thanks to today's technology, employers are flooded with online applications, emails, and faxes of potential applicants. As a result, instead of searching through 10 or 20 applications for 1 job vacancy, employers are reviewing hundreds of applications.
The days are long gone of simply turning in an application and waiting for a call in a week or two. Learn what it takes to secure an interview and get the job and keep the job. Take the steps necessary so employers know you're a serious applicant and potential employee.
The job market today is not about employers needing employees. Companies are interested in saving money now more so than ever and that means less hiring. A lot of work is outsourced to consultants and temporary employees. It is important to make yourself seen and heard. It is crucial to network and socialize. You must prepare yourself to meet the expectations and challenges of today's workplace.
