SOCIAL WORKER

This book makes a world of difference in helping you

stay away from vague and long-winded answers and you

will be finally able to connect with prospective

employers, including the one that will actually hire you.

This book successfully challenges conventional job

search wisdom and doesn't load you with useful but

obvious suggestions ("don't forget to wear a nice suit to

your interview," for example). Instead, it deliberately

challenges conventional job search wisdom, and in so

doing, offers radical but inspired suggestions for

success.

Think that "companies approach hiring with common

sense, logic, and good business acumen and

consistency?" Think that "the most qualified candidate

gets the job?" Think again! Time and again it is proven

that finding a job is a highly subjective business filled

with innumerable variables. The triumphant jobseeker is

the one who not only recognizes these inconsistencies

and but also uses them to his advantage. Not sure how

to do this? Don't worry-How to Land a Top-Paying Social

Workers Job guides the way.

Highly recommended to any harried Social Workers

jobseeker, whether you want to work for the

government or a company. You'll plan on using it again

SOCIAL WORKER

in your efforts to move up in the world for an even

better position down the road.

This book offers excellent, insightful advice for everyone

from entry-level to senior professionals. None of the

other such career guides compare with this one. It

stands out because it: 1) explains how the people doing

the hiring think, so that you can win them over on paper

and then in your interview; 2) has an engaging, reader-

friendly style; 3) explains every step of the job-hunting

process - from little-known ways for finding openings to

getting ahead on the job.

This book covers everything. Whether you are trying to

get your first Social Workers*job or move up in the

system, get this book.
