Dalla quarta di copertina

Yes, You Can Get That Job! was written particularly for college students and recent graduates currently looking for a job in the most competitive arena in decades. There are many career guides in the bookstores and on-line. Until now, however, there have been none that combine the best aspects of a “how-to” manual and a thesaurus created specifically to help young adults successfully navigate the limbo between college and the new “real world.” It is full of practical suggestions to enhance the job seeker’s efforts more effectively during every stage of the process — from writing a resume to following up after an interview.This book will teach you to use words and resources a little bit differently than you did as a student. It will teach you to “sell” yourself more effectively than your competitors, and you will definitely have plenty of those. For example: “Responsible for. . . .” Do not use this phrase! That’s why you don’t see it here. It’s a phrase that’s passive and it doesn’t highlight your accomplishments. If you managed, or organized, or coordinated something, say so. If you were asked to do something, talk about how you were selected to do this, recruited to do it.Yes, You Can Get That Job! will help you bridge the connection between what you’ve accomplished in your own studies, internships and jobs, and the mind of the decision-maker who’s looking at your resume or the software that’s screening it.
