“It's a rare combination, but Ellis accomplishes the challenge to pen a comprehensive treatment of the job search that is actually fun to read. The reader's challenge is making the time to put the practical tips into action, but the investment is sure to yield a considerable return on the effort.”
In Search of the Fun-Forever Job: Career Strategies that Work
by Ellis Chase
Looking for work? Changing careers? Discover the smart way to search.
Ellis Chase, one of Manhattan’s top career management consultants and executive coaches, brings his 25-plus years of experience and expertise to this reexamination of how you can target and find a job that fits.
You’ll find strategies you can use to: identify the career that’s right for you; build your networks; approach interviews; negotiate your salary; cope with the emotional roller coaster; make smarter decisions.
In Search of the Fun-Forever Job takes a fresh look at an old problem and turns some of the commonly held beliefs about job search and career management inside out.
Is the resume truly the key to a successful search?
Isn’t it easier to look for a job when you’re employed?
Won’t I improve my chances if I just put as many letters and resumes out there as possible, and hope some of them stick?
Isn't networking just calling everyone I know and asking for leads?
"I'm recommending it to my executive and full-time students and to everyone I know who's doing a search. If you are an executive or experienced in your career, Ellis knows your world. If you are new in the working world or trying to get a job quickly, you need to understand what's in this book. He doesn't lie and say it's easy, but he makes a good case that we all need to do it right."
