Ever wonder why you land many interviews but never a job offer? You haven’t seen the process from the recruiter’s perspective. There’s a difference between job searching and recruiting. The former is uploading your resume on Monster, CareerBuilder and Indeed. The latter means cultivating relationships and developing a brand. Get Recruited! supplies superior insight to increasing your visibility by tapping into the recruiter’s world, a hidden job market of unlisted positions. This book goes beyond burnishing your resume, by helping you network with recruiters, like-minded professionals, create a career advisory board, media kits, business cards and find mentors and sponsors. Mentors and sponsors are meaningful because you’ll need them at every career stage. When change jobs or receive promotion, you must find new ones. Graham also says that media kits, business cards and branding specialists aren’t only for Fortune 500 firms. Use them to create your own branding strategy to find the job that you want. Finally, the author shows you how to use various networking levels (friends and family, volunteering, social media, past jobs and organizational memberships) to expand your current network. Ultimately, Get Recruited! succeeds where other texts don’t by getting you unstuck. What more can you ask for in a career management book?
