The Job Closer: Time-Saving Techniques for Acing Resumes, Interviews, Negotiations, and More

I can't believe I stumbled across this book. I had on Good Day NY playing in the background and I happen to hear about this book. It was something I was interested in so I bought the boom. I had it for maybe a year before reading it. This book changed my view on resumes, cover letters and the interview process. I have been doing it wrong all of these years. I feel confident that I will have successful interviews after reading this book. I have some interviews that still haunts me when I think about them. Purchase this book.

The straight-forward, clear advice in this book is a refreshing change from the vague tips that leave most job seekers alone with their questions and self-doubt. Dalton shares practical insight from many years of guiding MBA students at Duke to landing job offers, some of which readers may find surprising. (Hint: your resume isn't as important as you think.) The humorous, conversational tone makes this book a great companion to your job search. It's like having a pep talk in your pocket! Highly recommend.

The Job Closer is also full of extremely practical advice that anticipates almost every situation someone searching for a position may find themselves in. I definitely will incorporate Steve's recommendations when coaching clients on how to prepare for job interviews.

The Job Closer is an excellent way to cut to what's important in the job search. Hint: It's not wasting a bunch of time on online job postings applications.

I purchased this book after reading Steve’s previous book ‘The Two-Hour Job Search’. I love Steve’s understanding of the human mind as he helps the reader see things through the lens of the employer. He dispels many myths about job hunting, particularly the fixation many people have with the ‘perfect CV’.This is a short book with lots of information. Each chapter offers tips and strategies packed into an easy to read ‘question & answer’ format. This will be a useful book for anyone looking to get ahead in the applications process. Particularly those who are stuck and looking to try something different. Many of my clients have this issue, and are looking for simple answers to complex questions. Steve’s approach is methodical, which means it provides the reader with fixed steps they can apply to their job search straight away. Highly recommended for job seekers!

Steve Dalton's ideas and frameworks are top-notch. His work is a must-have for every modern job seeker.

Le idee sono buone, ma nel complesso il libro non è così rilevante da lasciare il segno. Common sense e un po’ di esperienza apportano più valore. Meglio il primo libro the 2 hours job search
