Want a New Better Fantastic Job, second edition
934110
Although at first blush it would seem that this book is about how to find a New Better and Fantastic Job it is really about how to align your personal passions with a way to make a living. The authors have spent the last 18 years helping people understand the key elements of their lives that they want to be remembered for, an exit interview with God. Since the vast majority of people(over 80%) dislike their jobs this book is an invaluable tool to allow people a methodology to understand what is important in their lives and how to align their careers with what they consider to be the most meaningful. For anyone who takes their lives and careers seriously this book is "must" to be read.

The first edition was great.  Perfect reading for the new practitioner or old dinosaur like myself.  A must have book in your library. I am ordering the second edition TODAY!

My current favourite book is "'>The World is Flat", a brief history of the twenty-first century by Thomas Friedman. Awesome read. It talks about how almost any function can be done almost anywhere in the world and how we can still prosper in this time of outsourcing.

This flattening is cause by 10 factors:

1 - the fall of the Berlin wall and what it represents.

2 - the internet

3 - Work flow software

4 - open source

5 - outsourcing

6 - offshoring

7 - supply chaining (of course this is good news for SYNNEX since we are a supply chain company)

8 - insourcing

9 - in-forming

10 - and what he calls the steroids - Digital, Mobile, Personal and Virtual

And of course I don't do it justice - you need to read the book to get it.

It inspires me to make sure my people have the skills to interface with the customers and suppliers because much of the back room analysis can be moved offshore. In moving offshore we need to improve our communication skills (never a bad thing to polish anyways). We also need to polish our systems for interacting at a distance. Companies that do this are the ones to thrive.

It also gave me hope that the flattening of the world will actually mean more jobs in North America and more prosperity globally.

This is the review that I post on my blog at [...]

I really like this book and it it has been really useful as I have been interviewing with companies recently.
It helped refresh some of my software and algorithm skills. The clever problems in the book jog your memory and problem solving skills; sort of like a crash course. It does a good job of running through various math, problem solving, coding, data structure topics with out being held up in the details and being too academic/text book like. I liked the book so much that I got my brother too a copy and certainly would recommend it to anyone preparing for job interviews.

One of my career coach suggest me to buy this book. It is very useful book for looking for job. It is easy to understand. Sometime, we do not believe how simple networking it would be. I am lucky have a new job now.

Good content but could do with an update, including more practical steps to follow and replicate the interviewee's business.

You might ask, why is the writer writing a review of his own book?  There are two reasons:

First, I want to thank all of the supporters of this, my first book on lead generation and cold calling. It has some good stuff on how to vet lists, get executives on the phone, and craft emails that get attention.

Secondly, you should know that my latest book "How to Dominate in Cold Calling & Earn Six Figures Doing It" (published in 2012) is even better! (Google it.)

If you want to learn prospecting skills from a former gatekeeper and a former buyer from a major office supply company who has spent nearly 10 years making prospecting calls on behalf of some of the largest brands in the world, including Salesforce, SAP, and Freightliner; you definitely want to check out both books.

Stuck in a job you hate? Recently laid off? Reached the ceiling and don't know where to go? It's time for a DO OVER! Following his hits Quitter and Start, Do Over is Jon Acuff's best work yet, and provides a candid look at the difficult process of navigating one's career path in today's marketplace. He speaks from experience, having had a successful, but empty corporate career for 16 years before setting out on his own as a writer and speaker. This book is for people who leave work on Fridays and say "there's gotta be something more than this!" Do Over proves that there is hope for redefining our careers and aligning them with our God-given talents, personal strengths and interests. But beware, Acuffs books are not of the pop-psychology, quick-fix, 7-steps to a better job genre. You will not get anything out of this book without putting in the "reps" and building your Career Savings Account. He's got a fantastic website and social presence to help you along the way at: acuff.me

Todays reality - never have there been as many people potentially wanting a new opportunity; never has there been such a challenge in discerning greatness (top talent) from average.

Hiring greatness is the most critical business activity that we must get right. David Perry and Mark Haluska clearly define a systematic proven process that unequivocally identifies, qualifies, attracts, lands, and retains greatness for you; greatness that exponentially accelerates and improves your bottom line.

In early 2016 there are 149 million employed people in the US. Anywhere between 61% and 67% are interested in a new career opportunity this year based upon several major surveys by LinkedIn, CareerBuilder, and others. Taking the midpoint of the range means there are 95 million people interested in new jobs/careers.

The top 25% is, well, the top 25%!

So how does one discern top talent from average? How do we get past dazzling resumes, credential creep, well-honed interviewing skills, and staged references to really find out who is beneath the surface?

And for the remaining 54 million currently employed people who aren't necessarily looking at new job/career opportunitieshow do we identify and awaken the top talent in that grouping to consider our open position?

These are the journeys that David and Mark take us on in Hiring Greatness.

From start to finish  from having a critical hiring need to filling the opening to reaping the rewards of great execution  David and Mark layout a strategic plan supported by concrete specific tactical tools that will, without question, improve anyones current hiring process.

I have had the privilege of having a preview copy of Hiring Greatness for about a month now. (Today, as it has officially become available, I bought 3 copies for both team members and a client of ours.)

As a recruiting firm ourselves, we have already woven a number of the tools into the fabric of our own hiring methodology to improve the candidate quality and hiring process for several of our clients.

On top of that, the book is a good and enjoyable read. David and Mark take us step-by-step on an executive search they conduct as a first hand illustration of how to apply the concepts.

The book isn't academic. It is extremely practical in its application and illustration of how to truly discern top talent (greatness) from counterfeit and move your probability of the right hire to 99.97%. (Perry-Martel has conducted 1000 executive searches with a 99.97% success rate  unprecedented anywhere!)

This is actually a message to the person who purchased this book new on 7/27. This book should have been pulled because I am going to correct a number of errors we did not notice the first two times going through. Please review it as you see fit, but please send me your email address so that when the project is completed, I can send you the corrected edition free of charge (of course) I am sorry for the inconvenience.

I read the first edition of this book and have been following Tim's blog ever since.  TONS of fantastic ideas that I've been implementing into my own work, both as an employee and as a business owner.  This book is easily worth the money for a first-time reader.  As I was reading this, some friends were interested enough that I loaned them my first edition, and they both devoured it and loved it.  Is the new edition worth it?  Not necessarily.  The most essential concepts are contained in the first edition, but at about 12 bucks online, I'm actually glad I got the second edition.  If you're not sure, go ahead and get it.  If you strongly question getting it, just stick with the first edition--BUT do yourself a big favor and read it again!  I had a lot of rediscoveries.  This book is definitely one of my top ten influences.

I am the author and rated it high for obvious reasons.  I was not going to rate it, but could not submit this form without it.  I am taking the unusual step of writing because virtually all current reviews refer to the 1st edition - NOT the 2nd.  This NEW book has been completely rewritten and while there are probably errors, it is NOT error-riddled like the 1st edition.  I simply ask people to take a look with a fresh eye.  McGraw-Hill and I have tried very hard to make it a quality book, and I am confident it will be very useful.  If you have any questions or comments please contact me and I will do my best to answer them.
  Thanks for your indulgence.
