Can You Start Tomorrow? is an authoritative account of how to find a job faster in tough economic times. The "other" job books talk mostly about traditional job search methods, such as reading the classifieds, resume writing, networking, using Web job boards, writing cover letters, etc. What good are the classifieds and fancy resumes if you can't get an INTERVIEW!
Can You Start Tomorrow? BREAKS ALL THE RULES. It is a practical exposé on how insiders use the telephone to CALL the BOSS directly and SELL themselves into an immediate interview. "Insiders" are those who have found at least one job in their careers by calling the boss directly on the phone to sell themselves and to ask for an interview. No resume can do that. Job seekers are no longer relegated to waiting and hoping to hear back from companies. Anxiety is reduced and confidence builds as job seekers create more activity in the job search by staying proactive.
These insiders don't use resumes, they don't send cover letters, they sometimes don't even know if a job exists before they make these calls. Because not everyone is comfortable picking up the phone, remedies are provided in the text. Written scripts, when to call, and follow-up methods are included to help the job seeker become practiced, motivated, inspired, and confident.
Written by an insider for the benefit of all job seekers from every walk in life. It provides a better way to job search than only sending resumes to human resources, using the Internet, or reading the classifieds.
