You already know that job hunting can be difficult. It can be tough
in a good job market. In a bad job market, it can be brutal. You
get rejection after rejection. You're constantly faced with the
Black Hole of job hunting: You complete applications, post resumes
and make contacts, but get no response at all. It can be hard to
keep going, and many job hunters have periods of doing far too
little - and even slowing down just when they need to speed up. And
sometimes it's hard to know what kind of effort to make. Should you
make more phone calls? Use more social networking sites? Find more
job boards? Make more contacts? A professional career coach could
assist you with all of this. However, many job hunters are
unemployed and not in a position to hire a coach. A PROVEN SYSTEM
But now, there's another solution. Rather than hunker down alone in
a home office, you can do your job hunting as part of a Job Search
Work Team. Team members do not need to be experts, since they're
using a proven system - one that's been successfully used by a
300-office global career services company for over 20 years. Job
Search Work Teams have helped thousands of job hunters find great
new jobs faster. Team Up shows you the university research that
explains why and how these teams are so successful. And the book
tells you exactly what to do to join, start or lead one of these
teams. Teams have been shown to shorten job searches by 20%. That
could cut a five-month search to four months, and save you a full
month's salary. ENDORSED BY EXPERIENCED CAREER PROFESSIONALS Career
professionals who have used Job Search Work Teams are enthusiastic
about their value for job hunters. On the first two pages of Team
Up , you'll see endorsements from people with a combined total of
200 years experience as professional career coaches. On the back
cover of the book, you'll see endorsements from leaders of church,
synagogue and nonprofit programs that use these teams. In that kind
of program, teams are usually led by the job hunters themselves.
The teams have proven successful when led by professional leaders,
volunteer workers, or team members. But however they're led, it's
important that all team members understand exactly how they work
and what to do in meetings to help make every member's search more
effective, more comfortable and faster. Team Up explains the whole
thing, step-by-step, telling you exactly how you can start, join or
lead one of these teams. JOB SEARCH WORK TEAMS OFFER: *** A
comfortable, supportive weekly meeting that's focused on making
every team member's job search more effective this week than it was
last week. *** Networking assistance, since every member has two
dozen eyes and ears on the lookout for job leads and job market
information -- not just two. *** An advisory group to answer
questions, enumerate options, and provide objective advice. *** A
simple progress measurement system that allows job hunters to
answer three key questions: (1) "Before you start getting job
interviews, how do you know whether you're making progress? (2) How
much progress did you make this week? (3) Which of your efforts are
producing the progress? TEAM UP TELLs YOU: +++ How to join an
existing Job Search Work Team. +++ How to start your own team if
there isn't one near you. +++ How to ensure that every weekly team
meeting is safe, comfortable and highly productive for everyone in
the room. +++ How to use teams in church, synagogue or community
job search assistance programs. +++ How to make your job search
more effective - even if you decide not to join a Job Search Work
Team. The book is written for career professionals as well as job
hunters. It includes a message for career coaches and a complete
manual/workbook. It is not available as an e-book because it is in
8 1/2 by 11 inch format and includes numerous full- and two-page
graphics that cannot be viewed on those device
