<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Today's job seekers need to "lose the resume" in order to land the right job. In this guide, Burnison shares the new rules of engagement in which seekers must learn to tell a story about themselves that speaks to their competencies, purpose, passion, and values.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>'Lose the Résumé' breaks down every aspect of job hunting, explaining what matters and what doesn't. - <i>The New York Times </i>Book Review<br /><br /><b>Lose the resume and land that coveted job </b></p> <p>Gone are the days of polishing up your resume and sending it out at random. At every level today, you need to "lose the resume" in order to land the right job. In other words, you have to learn to tell a story about yourself that speaks to your competencies, purpose, passion, and values. <i>Lose the Resume, Land the Job</i> shares the new rules of engagement: How you must think, act, and present yourself so you can win.</p> <p>Based on inner exploration drawn from the IP of the world's largest executive recruiting firm, the book gleans insights and stories (the good, the bad, and sometimes the ugly) from Korn Ferry recruiters across the globe who work with thousands of candidates each day. It helps you gain a deeper perspective on who you are, what you're passionate about, the cultures in which you fit, the kind of bosses you should work for, and where you can bring the most value to organizations.</p> <p>- Includes assessments, questionnaires, and other tools</p> <p>- Candid advice for young professionals through middle managers</p> <p>- Offers trusted guidance from the same firm that has shown 8 million executives how to achieve their career goals, and that puts a professional in new job every three minutes</p> <p>- Helps you build a plan for the future so you can contribute more to the next employer</p> <p>Getting a job and, more importantly, building a career has never been more complex. <i>Lose the Resume, Land the Job </i>helps you score the positions that align with your passion and match your attributes -- and that will put you on a trajectory toward bigger and better things. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Far too many people are stuck in a nowhere position, in the wrong environment, working for a boss they hate. Worse yet, they're clueless about how to land a better job.</p> <p>Not knowing what to do, they resort to the old standby: <i>their resume</i>. <p>People assume their resume accounts for 90 percent of getting a new job. The truth is, though, it's maybe 10 percent! They don't know what it really takes, and they have nowhere to turn. <p><i>Lose the Resume, Land the Job</i> serves up the kind of straight talk that no one--not your spouse, partner, friend, mentor or anyone else--will tell you. It will show you how to: <b><ul><li>Know yourself</li> <li>Target opportunities</li> <li>Network like it's a contact sport</li> <li>Showcase your "ACT" (Being authentic, making a connection, and giving others a taste of what it's like to work with you.)</li></ul></b> <p>If this sounds like what you're missing, you're in luck. In these pages, you'll find all you need to get a clue--and become<i> </i>more empowered as you lose the resume and land the job. <p>www.losetheresume.com<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>GARY BURNISON</b> is the CEO of Korn Ferry, the world's largest executive-recruiting firm and a world leader in talent development.</p>
