How to Find Work in the 21st Century
Today’s students are graduating into a workplace in a state of transition. Traditional jobs are in decline, replaced by other forms of employment. This book shows job seekers how to discover hidden employment opportunities, sell themselves effectively to employers and create effective marketing tools beyond the traditional résumé. Through a variety of exercises and thought-provoking questions, readers further define, describe and communicate what they, specifically, can offer and market to a future employer. Included are innovative marketing ideas and sample marketing tools such as marketing letters and 21st century résumé requirements. Checklists and sample letters and documents are included on the companion CD.Source: The Association of Book Publishers of BC. BC Books for BC Schools. 2009-2010.
