Robert J. Gerberg: Limiting Beliefs at the Core of Many Job Search Problems
New York, NY ��� "Most people searching for jobs over $50,000 take too narrow a view of themselves. They underestimate themselves. 20% can't communicate their real skills, most never identify even 50% of their assets, and in our survey of people with stalled searches, 62% blamed being "too specialized." In the first part of my new book they learn how to get past this important obstacle and broaden their appeal several ways." Best selling author Robert J. Gerberg addresses this and other liabilities in his latest book, The Professional Job Changing System, available hardcover in bookstores nationwide.
"It teaches people to develop a communication strategy that includes transferable skills, personal strengths, and a selling proposition, each of which broadens their appeal to potential employers. They also learn how to broaden the industries where they are a "fit," by identifying characteristics similar to their own, and to develop a resume that will not only de-emphasize their "specialist" nature, but also broaden them further.
"In the 2nd part of the book they learn about the 8 sectors of the job market, published and unpublished. Using the suggested approaches, they learn how to find more openings in the published market of ads, boards, employer sites and recruiters that would be right for them. To get more exposure to the unpublished market, where 50% or more of their opportunities will be, the book explains several principles most people don't understand. But they need to implement them as the book instructs if they want to be successful in taking the initiative and getting considered before jobs mature into the published market. These methods include targeted networking with a personal marketing website, making contact based on specific events, and contact with employers fitting a particular profile."
"The interviewing instructions in the 3rd section are proven in thousands of cases, and they are very effective. The 4th section on personal issues related to job search is motivational and it helps people build confidence, adopt a positive outlook, maintain enthusiasm and carry momentum through to a successful conclusion."
