The Job Search Manifesto (ePub)

"The Job Search Manifesto helped me stay grounded, knowing that the Job Search is a journey, not a destination."

Are you itching for a career change, but aren't sure where to begin? Are you avoiding that nagging feeling in your gut that you have more to give because the idea of navigating the job hunting process is too daunting? Have you learned all you can learn in your current position, in an organization with little room for advancement? No matter your situation, now is the time to create the life you've always wanted.

"The Job Search Manifesto" takes a step-by-step approach to job hunting, acing that interview, negotiating the raise you deserve, and making the career moves that will bring you to where you want to be.

This book shares insights from more than 30 years of recruiting leadership experience, told through the eyes of Steve Hernandez, director of Career Advancement at Wharton's Executive MBA Program in San Francisco and developer of the Job Search Action Group (JSAG) program; and Mike Manoske, a certified coach and director of coaching for the leading career site, Hireclub.com.

They will walk you through exercises that help you:

• Develop a strong list of target organizations, industries, and roles
• Create a compelling brand statement you can use in every part of your job search
• Build meaningful business relationships instead of empty networking
• Write LinkedIn profiles and resumes that stand out in the crowd
• Feel empowered during interviews by taking on a collaborative or consultative role
• Learn negotiating techniques that yield results while building rapport

This book is continuously updated to account for changes in the post-pandemic world, which has reshaped the job market, the types of roles that are available, and how, where, and when we all work. As a living document, "The Job Search Manifesto" will be your constant guide no matter where you are in your career path.

After implementing the concepts in this book, you will develop a skill set that gets stronger, deeper, and richer throughout your career - so you no longer hold yourself back from creating the work-life you've always wanted. Instead of aimless job searching, you will approach your career with a deliberateness that ensures you soon find yourself, wherever - and whoever - you want to be.

"Whether you're just starting your job search or need a jumpstart, The Job Search Manifesto reveals the hidden secrets to marketing yourself like a pro. It's like having your own personal career coach in your pocket."
