Job Search Bloopers
Laura Decarlo (Author)
Career and job search mistakes abound, which results in valuable time being lost in your job search “ time in which you could have been earning a salary. Wouldn't it be great if you had a short-cutť to shaving time off your job search by eliminating costly mistakes?
Well, there is! Learning from others' job search mistakes is the central theme of Job Search Bloopers: Every Mistake You Can Make on the Road to Career Suicide¦and How to Avoid Them, which I (Susan Guarneri) co-authored with Laura DeCarlo. Here's what some career industry gurus are saying:
* Joyce Lain Kennedy, the nation's first syndicated careers columnist and author of numerous career and job search books, remarked in her review, "Popular Guarneri and DeCarlo keep it simple, sharing the powerful wisdom you need to goof-proof your future. Don't keep missing out. Read this book and start scoring right now!"
* William Arruda of the Reach Branding Club offered in his endorsement, "The authors dissect and demystify prevalent job search and career concerns with in-depth analysis and cutting-edge recommendations - including demonstrating the role personal branding plays in career success."
Based on real-life stories from my co-author Laura and myself (the Career Assessment Goddess), as well as from career coaches and resume writers around the world who are members of Career Directors International (CDI), Job Search Bloopers is designed to connect with you both emotionally and intellectually to maximize your learning take-aways. You don't have to re-invent the wheel when it comes to your career and your job search.
This book covers every snafu related to career development, personal branding, and finding a job. Set up by helpful chapters, such as Cover Letter Casualties and Common Job Curses,
you can quickly and easily read the most relevant chapters and then immediately apply what you learn.
With more than 160 Cited Online References and Bibliography in the Appendices section, along with a contact list of the CDI contributors worldwide, you can use this book as your how-to manual for advancing your career and your personal brand. In fact, the Introduction explains how you can get the most out of the book!
As the author of the Career Goddess Blog, which has been around since 2005, I initially thought this book would come together easily. But writing this book with Laura has been one of the most challenging and worthwhile experiences of my life, for many reasons. As I've said to her many times, it's more painful than giving birth (I have 3 beautiful children so I know). But, like with childbirth, once the baby is in your arms you forget about the pain and focus on the accomplishment.
So, I will be crowing for a while and showing off my baby with your indulgence. I invite you to write an Amazon customer review “ help spread the word about Job Search Bloopers!
