So you’ve decided what job you would really like. You know that you are well qualified, or could quickly become so. You also know that you will be in competition with many others who want the same job, some of whom may be even better qualified.
The question is …. How can you gain the necessary competitive advantage over all the other candidates and sell yourself to the employer?
This handbook, in a very concise way, outlines the five essential steps, from the letter of application to the post-interview follow-up. Steps largely ignored by most job candidates, which will make you the extraordinary candidate you need to be.
John Butterworth brings to this book knowledge and expertise gained on both sides of the fence. Over the last 50 years he has applied for jobs, built various small businesses employing people himself and trained many other employers in employee selection techniques.
His years of experience have taught him what works and what doesn’t work and has led him to realize that most applicants for jobs go through the process without understanding just what they are doing.
“Most applicants for a job concentrate on convincing the employer that they CAN do the job rather than demonstrating how well they WILL do the job.”
“Smart applicants for a job realize that the process of applying for a job must be treated as a job in itself because it is not simply a process but an audition.”
“Successful applicants take control of the job interview by knowing what questions to ask the interviewer.”
Applying for a job is a competition. These and many other secrets to success covered in this little handbook will give you the winning edge.
