I Need a Job!: Be Noticed. Land the Interview. Get Hired.

An expert guide to finding work and advancing your career in a new, post-COVID job market

It's brutal. I'm frustrated. Nobody is responding...

These are the comments heard in almost every conversation about the job market these days--as every opportunity and posting attracts hundreds if not thousands of applicants. And all too often, people think technology will do everything for them.

Getting a job today takes so much more than just updating your resume and sending it out everywhere. Instead, you'll be online assessing, video responding, and amplifying your visibility in a competitive job market.

I Need a Job! lays out exactly what you need, with an action plan for competing in an ever-evolving workscape.

Written by Gary Burnison, CEO of Korn Ferry and New York Times bestselling author, the book contains timely advice from a firm that places a professional in a job every three minutes of the workday. It captures the essentials of what will help you stand out and break away from the rest:

• Your A.C.T. -- Be authentic. Make a connection. Give others a taste of who you are.
• Knowing Yourself -- Before you focus outward, it's important to first look inward--so you can move onward.
• Assessing for Success -- Assessments permeate the hiring environment and at every stage of the process.
• Putting Your I in AI -- Employers are using AI--and so can you.
• Networking in the New World of Work -- Your skills qualify you, but networking gets you in the door.
• Interviewing: From Prep Time to Go Time -- Know the story you tell and who you will tell it to.

I Need a Job! is your guide for navigating the confusion and cutting through the uncertainty. Following its timely advice and timeless wisdom, you will elevate yourself--to be noticed, land the interview, and get the job you want.
