Advanced Career Technologies Survey: 87% of Job Seekers Restrict Search to Industries They've Worked In

New York, NY �� "87% of job seekers at $50,000+ start out with the thought of restricting themselves to industries where they have past experience. But it doesn't have to be this way." Best selling author Robert J. Gerberg makes this point in his latest book, The Professional Job Changing System. "If people can learn how to market themselves so they appeal across a broad range of industries, they will have many more opportunities."

"This book shows how transition to a new industry is easier than it used to be. It instructs the reader on how to identify new industry options most suitable for them. It then tells them how to identify the "industry hooks" they have that will make them more appealing to decision makers in other industries. People learn that they need to break down the specific characteristics of their industry, then identify similar characteristics in other industries, as they might relate to types of sales processes, manufacturing methods, markets they serve, customer relations and dozens of other factors."

"This alone could benefit a job seeker tremendously, but it is only one of hundreds of things we've packed into this book. It was written specifically to give job seekers at $50,000+ everything they need to know to succeed, and it is available hardcover in bookstores nationwide. It starts by making sure the reader is well prepared, from having clear goals and industry options to having solutions for any liabilities, identifying transferable skills, writing a superior resume and letters, to having a realistic action plan."

"Once prepared, the reader then learns about all 8 segments of the job market �� published and unpublished. In the published market they learn how to maximize responses from ads and recruiters, and not to overlook employer sites. The unpublished market requires a more imaginative and aggressive approach, but it's where at least 50% of the opportunities are, so the book tells you how to get maximum benefit from networking, the things you must do to make direct employer contact more productive, and how to scan the news for signals of emerging jobs. The 3rd section shares proven principles for interviewing and the 4th tells how to build an unstoppable will to succeed."
