Unlock the Hidden Job Market: 6 Steps to a Successful Job Search When Times Are Tough Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a Human Resources professional who has landed every job in his career -- now going on 25 years -- through proactive networking precisely the way this book describes, I am delighted to see the process so well documented. This book does not uncover profoundly new angles on landing a job; however, it clearly describes the steps needed even in these tough times, and especially for those who have had frustrations using traditional methods. Using the techniques in this book moves the job-seeker "upstream" into conversations with hiring managers in the planning stages before a job is posted publicly - and that's how almost all jobs are being filled right now.
In a world of instant virtual access to people and information, and net-enabled social networking, the steps described in this book are clearly detailed and made easy to plan and execute -- even for those who may not consider themselves strong networkers. Given the amount of time you may devote to finding a job using the futile "sit at home, search the internet and blast resumes" approach, this guide has 100's of tips on how to use that time more wisely, and in ways that will actually help you land a job.

Twitter Power 2.0: How to Dominate Your Market One Tweet at a Time Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was disappointed with Twitter Power, especially after reading the many reviews that claimed this book would reveal many techniques for both beginners and pros alike. For anyone that has been using Twitter for more than a couple weeks, this book is really 101. It seems to be geared towards people that have never heard of Twitter or are just getting started. If that's the case, this book will help you get your feet wet, but it doesn't shed light on anything you can't pick up on your own simply by using Twitter for a few days.
Twitter is real time with instant response in most cases, and you'll find out what works for you and what doesn't almost immediately. You can also pay attention to the power players and note their approach. The book just points you to the top users on Twitter anyways. Save your money and do a little homework.
I've given an extra star because 10% of author proceeds go towards sustainable long term water solutions in developing areas of the globe.

Social Media for Business: 101 Ways to Grow Your Business Without Wasting Your Time Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Social Media seems to be the prerogative of the Gen X/Yers BUT us boomers have a lot to gain from using Social Media effectively.
And here is finally a book written by someone who IS a boomer and understands the need for not wasting our time on SM that is not effective for us or our businesses.
I"m no newbie, having been involved with technology since the 70s and I've been using LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook for a while already, but in each chapter in the book I found tips and pieces of advice to use. My copy now looks very dog-eared from all the pages I"ve read and want to refer back to.
Just a well written book that gives you the facts and steers away from pitfalls. I don't recommend a lot of books that I read, but this is one that I can do without any hesitation. If you're looking to dip your toes into Social Media or get more advanced and strategic about it, you can't go wrong. AND it's under 200 pages so not overwhelming either.
