The New Job Search: Break All The Rules. Get Connected. And Get Hired Faster For The Money You’re Worth.
I purchased this book based on the author’s personal story and reviews posted here at Amazon. I’m only on chapter 5 and can adamantly confirm others’ praise for this book. The author’s approach is extremely positive and pragmatic. I fully expect to find success by implenting the recommendations found in The New Job Search.
Good luck to all those willing to get out there and try a different approach!!!

Wendy writes with such ease and a common sense approach you feel like she standing right there talking to you. As a VP of HR, I read her book from the stand point on how candidates may approach us for employment. I immediately started quoting some of her ideas and relaying stories. Thanks Wendy for being so candid!

This is a great book for people who are “in transition” or who just want grow their network of contacts. Molly has done an excellent job of writing a book that’s full of great strategies and tactics as well as common sense reminders. The book covers most of the basics that you want in regards to job search (resumes, business cards, websites, working with recruiters, interviewing, etc.). However, Molly has a fresh take on many of these subjects. I found the networking suggestions the most valuable part of the book. After reading the book, I felt much more comfortable reaching out to network with people who I probably would not have prior to reading the book. Her suggestions on how to get the most out of networking opportunities was also really helpful I highly recommend this book to anyone who is in job search.

Holy cow !!! I got the book Sunday, read part of the book and more on Monday morning – Using what I read, I worked up a set of questions for a second phone interview for a Sr VP role today. And don’t you know it was the best interview I’ve ever had – I controlled the flow – I asked 95% of the questions, I got the invitation to come in to meet the CEO and CFO.
When “you” are the product – listen to Molly…its putting common sense to work. Its a new mindset. Molly’s insight helps you leverage what you already have and know – find out what the role is, ask the questions to determine the fit, lead the conversation – its all in your power, but it takes the mindset Molly drives home !
The interviewer thought I did a great job. I thought so too, but that’s amazing since they did most of the talking! Its a slap the forehead moment!!! I put the phone down when it was over and laughed. It was like “turning my instincts back on” ! I got the next interview.
I highly recommend Molly’s approach and “The New Job Search: Break All The Rules. Get Connected. And Get Hired Faster For The Money You’re Worth”. I’m going to reread it before my next interview prep !
