Why Don't They Call Me?: Job Search Wisdom To Get You Unstuck Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Why Don't They Call Me? is a must-read for anyone who works in the corporate world, regardless of your current employment situation. The odds are you'll be let go from a job at some point in your career, and you better be prepared to know how to carry out an effective job search. What worked a few short years ago (job search boards) to find a job, is a low-yield strategy according to the author. What is the most effective way to find a job according to Michael--networking.
... and I completely agree.
Now for those of you thinking cold calling can't possibly work, I can assure you it does. Following the author's script for dealing with gate-keepers, I was easily connected with the hiring manager on my very first call without even knowing his name. We ended up having a lengthy conversation and he was so impressed with my initiative, that he asked for a copy of my resume even though I had zero experience in that particular field! In the end, I lost out to someone with experience in the Technology field but it didn't really matter. By simply connecting with someone who had the power to hire me, I no longer was waiting for them to call me... I was calling them!
I especially liked Michael's chapter on social networking. I never realized the power of Twitter and Facebook until the author explained how to use these free mediums to help you find a job.
The author's website picks up where his book lets off by giving you the tools you need to ace your interview. Job-interview-wisdom.com is written with the same warm and friendly tone as his book, and it's obvious Michael Petras is a person who enjoys helping people. I've learned numerous tips and tricks that have helped me in interviews and plan on visiting the site for years to come!
