How to Get Hired

How to Get Hired is an honest and often-humorous conversation between the job seeker, employers, recently hired employees, and the reader's new-found recruiter, Jill. This quick read is filled with cut-to-the-chase advice. Just as if you were sitting in Jill's office, you'll quickly learn how to get a job faster and easier than going it alone. Real-life stories about interviews and hires gone wrong transform this tutorial into a reality show about entering the workforce.

This book captures the essential guidance that Jill has given every day to grads fresh out of college who needed help finding a job and for the first time in their lives realized no one could help them do it. It was the first and most important thing they had to do and they had to do it alone. In reading this book, they will not be truly alone.
