Publisher's Synopsis
The elusive job-hunting arena has caused many of us to lose sleep at night. Let's face it: getting hired in a sea of applicants is daunting. Rejection after rejection takes its toll on many qualified individuals, and the uncertainty and arbitrariness of electronic job postings through LinkedIn and Indeed further obfuscate this process. Getting in the door, however, is only the beginning. A new flavour of anxiety rears its head once an interview is obtained, and many competent applicants lose their momentum at this stage. With this many unknowns, it is no wonder many feel lost.
There is, however, a proven framework that can help you come out on top-the Solis Blueprint. A law student and a management consultant have joined forces and distilled over a decade of professional experience and exposure into a timeless guide. This blueprint seeks to strip away any preconceived notions you have about career development and walks you through an entirely new path, aiming to reshape how you approach job hunts. The first section of this book deals with the most critical phase of job hunting: getting the foot in the door. Here, we guide readers through all the different strategies we have used to land jobs through conventional and unconventional methods.
