Advanced Career Technologies Survey: Any One of 25 Common Liabilities Can Rule Job Seekers Out

New York, NY ��� "Did you know that 95% of people looking for jobs at $50,000+ don't take time to figure out how to handle their liabilities?" Best selling author Robert J. Gerberg asks this question in his latest book, The Professional Job Changing System. "That's unfortunate, because any one of 25 common liabilities can rule you out. The shame of it is, it is not difficult to figure out how to neutralize your liabilities, or even in some cases to turn them to advantage. This book, available hardcover in bookstores nationwide, gives precise instructions and examples in its "getting prepared" section."

"Some of the more common liabilities include age, gaps in work history, a checkered career, changing jobs too often and being either too generalized or too specialized. Less common but still frequent are liabilities such as poor references, an employer that performed poorly, being too long with one company, jobs too similar, and no clear record of progression to higher responsibilities. The book teaches people first to identify any liabilities, then what to do on your resume and in interviews, to minimize or neutralize them. Among other things, the book shares a time-tested approach for handling liabilities or concerns in an interview while building rapport and avoiding an awkward moment."

"The book was written specifically to educate people about the job market and how it works today, then instruct them in detail on how to prepare, how to uncover more opportunities, and how to increase their chances for success in interviewing. With hundreds of ideas and examples, it takes them through creating the best resumes, setting the right goals, highlighting transferable skills and knowing industry options."

"It then teaches them how to uncover more published openings, as well as unpublished opportunities, where 50% or more of their best opportunities might be. That requires initiative, but it's not difficult to network more effectively, generate interest by contacting employers directly, and capitalizing on events that signal emerging jobs. The book covers it all in detail, along with interviewing, building enthusiasm, staying organized, and much more. When people learn these things, their confidence improves dramatically."
