Advanced Career Technologies Survey: Only 5% of $50,000+ Job Seekers Sell Transferable Skills, Strengths
New York, NY ��� "We're contacted by over 10,000 professional level job seekers every month. So we know for a fact that only 5% of the people searching at $50,000+ aggressively sell their transferable skills and personal strengths on their resumes." Robert J. Gerberg, best selling author, relates this statistic in his latest book, The Professional Job Changing System. "If your achievements, functions and industry are all a 100% fit with what you're looking for, this isn't a major problem, but for most job seekers, that is not the case. If you want to switch industries or join a growth firm, you need to sell them."
"This book helps people do this, in very specific ways. It lists over 200 skills and experience factors that are most in demand by employers. Almost anyone with experience will find several that might apply to them. The book then instructs people how to make these skills and strengths part of what we call their "communication strategy." That means they have a way to combine some of these into larger themes that will impress employers, and to demonstrate with stories how they used these specific strengths and skills to get meaningful results for past employers. They can apply the strategy in interviews, letters and their resume to make a memorable impression."
"Now this is important for job seekers to know, but the book does a lot more than this, of course. It was written with the goal of providing job seekers specific advice and examples on everything they need to know and do to conduct a successful job search, even if they have relatively little time. The book, which is available in hardcover at bookstores nationwide, gives simple, easy-to-implement instructions for preparing the right way, getting exposure to the maximum number of opportunities in both the published and unpublished job markets, all 8 segments, and then interviewing according to proven principles that have been shown to win job offers thousands of times."
"Everything from creating the best possible resumes and letters to accessing many times more than the average 3% of possibilities most people uncover, to innovative ways to make contact where competition is less ��� these and much more are treated in detail."
