80% of Jobseekers Lack Necessary Job Search Skills : Author

Former recruitment industry pro writes new "behind the scenes" book on job hunting

June 6th 2003 -- With over 8 million Americans out of work, you might be surprised to find that 4 out of every 5 are not employing proper job search skills. Thats just one of the potent points made by former recruitment industry professional turned author Will Dylan, in his new e-book The Secrets of Job Hunting".

Job searching is a skill set. How well you hunt for a job is not always directly related to how intelligent you are or how much you earn. It has to do with how well you can deal with people, create an interesting resume, and handle todays challenging interview questions."

After leaving the recruiting business, Will wrote The Secrets of Job Hunting, filled with behind the scenes" tips for jobseekers in an effort to help them join that elite 20% of jobseekers who are maximizing on their chances of landing a job.

I noticed that much of the information available to job seekers was highly repetitive. Everyone has heard tips on arriving on time for interviews, following up on resume submissions with phone calls, and so on. Yet is seems very few people talk about more advanced job search issues, such as how to write a captivating resume, how to handle todays behavioral based interview questions, or how to access the hidden job market. It was with that in mind that I wrote The Secrets of Job Hunting."

Wills new book has already aroused media attention, with a feature article in an April edition of the Atlanta Journal Constitution, a newspaper with over 400,000 readers daily.

The Secrets of Job Hunting offers advice on:

- Accessing the Hidden Job Market
- Writing resumes that companies will actually want to read
- Handling new Behavioral Based" interview questions, which have become very popular in the last 3 or 4 years.
- And much more
