Break the rules and take charge of your career!
The traditional job-search approaches just don't work anymore, and the days of trusting your career to your employer are long over. The new-millennium workplace requires all of us to rewrite the rules and start treating our careers like we're running a business—which means understanding the markets for our talents, knowing our value, and looking out over the horizon to plot our paths going forward.
Liz Ryan is a former Fortune 500 HR SVP and the world's most widely read workplace thought leader. She understands the recruiting system as only an insider can, and she shows you how to stay focused on your goals and distinguish yourself from masses of job seekers. In Reinvention Roadmap, you'll discover new tools, such as a "Pain Letter" and your "Human-Voiced Resume" to land not just any job, but a job that celebrates your unique talents and takes you to the level where you want to be.
Whether you're entering the workplace or looking to switch careers, you can get the perfect job if you step off the beaten path and follow the approaches insiders use to gain access to the best positions. Reinvention Roadmap is the colorful, fun, irreverent, and deeply practical guide to getting the job you want and building the career of your dreams.
"Colorful, fun, irreverent, and a deeply practical guide to getting the job you want and building the career of your dreams, Reinvention Roadmap is thoroughly 'reader friendly' in organization and presentation, making it very highly recommended for community and academic library Jobs/Careers instructional reference collections."
