Warning: Don’t Even Think of Sending Out Another Resume Until You’ve Read this Book!
Former Fortune 500 Recruiter Reveals Why Most Job Searches End in Failure and the Secret to Being Amongst the Few that Succeed and Get a Great Job
Are You Wondering Why Your Job Search Hasn’t Worked?
You’ve probably went to many “how to write a resume” sites and applied what they taught, yet still don't have a job to show for your efforts. You may even have had a professional rewrite your resume into a masterpiece, but your still not getting any calls. You’re probably asking yourself, “is there something wrong with me?”
The good news is that you’re fine. The bad news is that there’s a reason that your resume and cover letter aren’t getting you any job interviews. First off, if you’re doing the same thing that every else is doing to get noticed…you’re going to get the same results. Meaning, no job! So what’s the problem? The information that’s all over the Internet is old! Yep, it’s outdated. We’re living in a new world now. When the economy imploded in 2008 everything changed forever.
The New Realities of Getting a Job in 2012
Once you've been unemployed more than six months, you're considered pretty much unemployable. Companies assume that since other people have already passed you over, there must be something wrong with you. You may have seen some job ads saying, “Don’t bother applying if you’re unemployed.”
The “Great Recession” supposedly ended in June of 2009, so why don’t you have a great job?
Companies have managed to post record profits because they laid off so many people and had the remaining employees work like slaves.
When you factor in the underemployed as well as the unemployed, there are about 9.3 people applying for every open job now. In some cases there are 100 applicants per position.
You Have a Better Chance of Getting Into Harvard Than Being Hired by McDonald's
Just recently, McDonald's went on a hiring blitz. Over 1 Million people applied! Only 62,000 were hired. That means that only 6 out of a 100 people were hired for jobs flipping burgers! Put another way, you have a better chance of getting into Harvard, than you do getting a job at McDonald in today's job market!
So your odds of getting a job in this economic environment are worse than they’ve been in over 60 years! But how can that be? The "official" unemployment rate is has been in the 8.9% to 9.1% range since 2008. What the corporate owned media won't tell you is that when you factor in people who simply gave up looking for work and those that had to take crappy low paying jobs just to keep from ending up homeless, the REAL unemployment rate is actually 22%!!!
Pre-crash Job Hunting Information Won't Help You
Now here is where things get really ugly! All those “how to get a job” web sites are feeding old, stale and outdated information. Sure there was a time when that stuff worked and could actually get you a job. Not anymore. The easy days of getting a job are gone. And they’re NEVER coming back!
The "how to write a resume", "how to write a cover letter", and how to get a job books are even worse! DO you know how long it takes to write, publish and distribute a book? Even a book with a January 2011 copyright date was most likely written and submitted 18 months earlier. By the time it’s published and distributed, the information is most likely very outdated.
