Robert J. Gerberg: Job Seekers Can Use 4-Step Process to Handle Employer Concerns

New York, NY ��� "It doesn't help anyone if they never find out in an interview that an employer has concerns about them. Better to surface it and deal with it in a way that builds rapport." Best selling author Robert J. Gerberg said details of how to do it can be found in his latest book, The Professional Job Changing System, available hardcover in bookstores nationwide. "In the first step of the ARTS process, you acknowledge that it's a good thing to be talking about. This reduces the tension. Then you redirect the discussion to the positive traits they are looking for in the ideal candidate. The third step tests whether their concern might be eased if you shared some things, and the 4th step is the answer, preferably but not necessarily supported by an action-oriented story."

"This is one small part of interviewing effectively. The book was written to teach anyone searching for a job over $50,000 all they need to know and do to be successful. Interviewing is critical, and readers learn 6 proven principles for turning interviews into offers. There are many examples, sample answers to common questions and a lot more."

"The first section teaches people how to prepare properly. They learn how to set the right goals, identify all their industry options, neutralize liabilities, identify transferable skills and personal strengths, and develop a communication strategy to make them more marketable. A big part of the preparation is the resume, so they learn how to write a resume that pre-sells them to employers, and why they need more than one resume."

"In the 2nd section they learn how to find more openings in the published market of ads, job boards, employer sites and recruiters that would be right for them. In the unpublished market, where 50% or more of their opportunities will be, they learn the three basic ways of getting considered before a job matures into the more competitive published market. To be successful here they need to follow the directions in the book closely regarding direct employer contact and event-directed initiatives and targeted networking. The 4th section on personal issues will help any job seeker build confidence. It teaches them how to adopt a positive outlook and keep up a high level of energy and enthusiasm."
