Robert J. Gerberg: Newly Unemployed Need to Launch Job Search Quickly

New York, NY — "Even in difficult times, employers feel that good talent doesn't last long in the market. So don't spend too much time feeling sorry for yourself. You need to get into action." So says Robert J. Gerberg, best selling author, in his latest book, The Professional Job Changing System. "Far too many people complicate their situation by waiting too long. When they do, a number of things happen."

"They lose momentum, for one. Inertia breeds more inertia. And with each passing day they risk losing their confidence. The more you are removed from the hustle and bustle of daily activity, the more you begin to doubt whether your talents are in demand, or as up-to-date as they should be. The cure is to prepare right away, and prepare in depth so you have advantages in the market. This book teaches people how to do that quickly."

"It starts with setting the right goals. You need to make clear to potential employers, recruiters and others precisely how and at what level you expect to contribute. You've also got to make sure there are actually jobs out there for the kind of position you seek. You also need to identify the full range of industry options suitable for you. Too many people restrict themselves needlessly. You've also got to identify your transferable skills and sell these in your resumes and letters. It's also critical to anticipate any liabilities and know how you'll neutralize them. The book helps people prepare thoroughly, with precise instructions and lists of the skills and strengths most sought by employers."

"The book then takes people through a series of simple action steps for being aggressive in all 8 segments of the job market, so they can uncover many times more opportunities than they might otherwise. That applies to the published market, of course, and the unpublished market, where not enough people are active. Available hardcover in bookstores nationwide, the book also gives the reader an easy-to-implement set of guidelines for interviewing effectively, so they have a much better chance of turning interviews into offers."
