This is one of the best books I've read that's all about helping people differentiate themselves from the sea of resumes and traditional job search tactics that just don't work anymore. And, heck, Jill Konrath is a specialist at seeing things differently to get knock-out results. Perhaps a reason her book, "Selling to Big Companies", has been a best seller for about 3 years running.A few things you should know about Get Back to Work Faster: * Jill employs a real-life scenario to put her ideas into practice and shares the process in the book. So this isn't just advice, it's a book jammed full of ideas that really work. * Digital tools and resources are used creatively to help you build a personal brand. * This book will help you get over the idea of finding a job and start working proactively to create the perfect job for you.

In fact, I'd say that's worthwhile for all of us--working or not. * Worried about all the competition for the few jobs out there?

I learned about Jill's approach to target our value to the needs of employers in 2009. She had just released her e-book version. She does a masterful job of honestly taking you through the process on your personal creation of your value proposition with this book. It was an easy investment. This determining your value process will lift your confidence in approaching employment opportunities. It has a bias towards helping people wanting to be consultants rather than a W2 full time corporate employees. The book truly provides value in selling yourself and using the right business driver that will get an employers attention. In 2012, employers still have a big edge in the hiring process and Jill can move you through that challenge.One of the book's references is a job hunter coach who helps pitch 6-figure executives. Unfortunately he passed away in 2012 so his web site, ideas, and practices are no longer updated and available. Jill uses his ideas and references so good examples for us to use and guide our own is still very helpful.Great book from a clear communication and knowledgeable expert and author. I recommend this book highly. Also, Jill has a web site for free updates on such things like using electronic, social media to sell and target companies. Finally, if I get back to full time employment 1 month sooner, this book's value will be truly abundant and wonderful.
I want to tell all prospective buyers of this book is that it is an "Outside the Box" Blockbuster! In it she describes the quickest way back to work. She outlines the efforts of people out of work and looking for unique ways to land in the world of the employed. She gets the creative juices in your head going on what to do towards that goal She is insightful and cleaver in her approach that i'm sure you will find useful. As a salesman for over 25 years I find that during the job search that I tend to forget what I know about selling products or services. It seems as good as I know I am at selling those things I am crappy at selling myself to a prospective employer. Jill's book got me back on track!The book is easily worth much more than it's price tag. I recommend it highly!
If you are serious about gettting back to work faster this is the way. Think about this there are hundereds of people competing for the same jobs. THe odds are against you if you do what everyone else does. Don't do what everyone else does. Follow Jill's advise. I know Jill sacrificed a lot in stepping out of her marketing niche to share this information with the world. Well done!
Jill created a book that is a great investment in both money and time for the modern day job search
