Knock Em Dead 2022 – Latest Job Search Guide by Martin Yate.
After 26 years, Martin Yate still brings a fresh look to each Knock Em Dead edition. 2022 is no exception; it’s packed with up to date job search techniques
The job search and needed survival equipment in today’s fierce competition have changed dramatically, yet too many job hunters use outdated notions to find employment. Martin Yate’s Knock them Dead: The Ultimate Job Search Guide 2022 provides a comprehensive life cycle path to the whole process of job hunting – from deciding on the type of job you want to how to get an interview, how to get a job offer, and even how to turn a rejection into a possibility.
Twenty Six Successful Years and Still Relevant/Still Evolving as a Guide
While a lot of the information can be gleaned elsewhere (and not just from Yate’s previous editions), it’s the way Yate puts it all together into one package, along with tips and concrete examples, that elevates this book into a helpful guide. He doesn’t just tell you to create a professional skill section; he shows you how to build one step by step. Then an example is given to help clarify. It is a great help for readers who aren’t sure if what they read and wrote is what the author meant. In addition, it allows the reader to get positive reinforcement right away.
Specific Resumes to Highlight Specific Accomplishments for Specific Employment
As hoped for, Yate recommends always using more than one strategy in all job search steps. It is vitally important to have specific job resumes, highlighting the accomplishments that best reflect the hoped-for employment. The need to expand the outline to showcase achievements (almost like having a brief cover letter built into your resume) is emphasized, and a handy list of questions to answer to create these sections is provided.
This guide has five major components, with 25 chapters. I was hoping for 26 to commemorate the 26 years, but perhaps that’s a bit too hokey to expect. Part 3 is essential for job interviews: it’s how to answer all those tricky interview questions, including the illegal ones, and still keep your composure. There’s even a chapter on how to ace the psychological and personality tests.
Informative Guide in the Life Cycle Process of the Job Search
This book is a solid addition and informative guide for any job seeker: from the newly graduated to the seasoned job hunter. Its tone is upbeat and uplifting, inspiring hope to even the most jaded, with step-by-step instructions/fill-in sections and examples. It creates a blueprint for success at all points in the job search life cycle process.
