New Year Brings Fresh Content for Job Seekers
Alexandria, VA (PRWEB) January 17, 2017 -- "Find Your Fit," a new book from the Association for Talent Development, is designed to help people find a job that they’ll love.
With insights from 16 experienced career coaches, "Find Your Fit" offers detailed advice on how to identify the right type of workplace and job, and work backwards to find it. For job seekers or anyone working through a career transition, "Find Your Fit" details how to build a personal brand—down to developing a winning LinkedIn profile. Readers will gain a deep understanding of where to focus their networking efforts and how to develop an effective resume for use both online and off.
"Find Your Fit" is edited by Sue Kaiden, a career coach with more than a decade of experience helping people find their career fit. “Finding your perfect job starts by understanding what you want out of your work and pinpointing why you want it,” said Kaiden. “The next step is to match your preferences, preferred skills, and personality to a company of the right size, culture, and philosophy, instead of hoping that your resume draws you to the right place.”
"Find Your Fit" shows readers how to:
• Answer basic questions, such as: What do I want to do with my career? Where should I do it? And how do I get there?
• Identify the ideal work environment using a personal inventory of skills, interests, and values.
• Shape their online identity and use social media to find a job.
• Network more effectively by focusing on people, not job openings.
• Anticipate the pre-employment assessment, including the social media review.
• Ace the interview and salary negotiation process.
• Gain experience and move up or consider a job change.
• Manage contract work or consider self-employment.
• Effectively job-hunt internationally.
