How to Get a Job in a Recession

How to get a job in a recession is a
comprehensive guide to getting a job in challenging times. From getting organised,
creating an effective CV to clear instructions for how to be successful with job
applications and contacting companies directly, it should be read by every job seeker
in challenging times.
As we enter the recession, it's getting more difficult
to find employment. There are still jobs available however. And yes, that great job
you've always wanted is still out there. But more than ever, you need to look for
ways to stand out from the rest and this book is going to show you how.
Denise was prompted to write this book following working as the career coach with
the ITV Tonight programme, "How Safe is Your Job?" Denise worked with people who had
been unemployed for months, partly because they weren't realistic in their job
aspirations, but also because their job search was not very effective. Too many
people take a "scatter gun" approach, sending out numerous CVs with general
information not tailored to a specific position. It's much more effective to focus
on one job at a time and gear all your efforts (and prepare a custom CV) to land that
job. This book teaches you how.
Denise has written this book for you. Maybe
you can�t stand another day in the position you have now, you've recently left
college or university, or your family commitments have changed and you are ready to
enter or re enter the job market. Maybe you lost your job to redundancy during these
difficult times. Maybe you�re a contractor who's found that there is a gap (which
you hadn't experienced before) between your last contract and now and the gap is
getting scarily wider as each day passes.
Whatever the reason, you need help
from a qualified professional. Kim had spent four months searching for a job and had
not even got to interview, but within a week of Denise helping her, she was
shortlisted for three jobs and two interviews later she got a great offer. Lindsay
was made redundant and was unsure about the proper way to apply for a new job. She
followed the advice in this book and had a new job within weeks.
This is a
comprehensive book 380 pages talking you through exactly what you need to do to get a
job. The book includes a comprehensive diary section, with all the tasks you need to
do in the first 30 days of your job search.
The author of this book is Denise
Taylor, Chartered Occupational Psychologist and Registered Career Guidance
Practitioner, founder of Amazing People - www.amazingpeople.co.uk, established in

changers understand who they are and how to become successful in their job search.
Denise is also a sought-after consultant and advises companies as diverse as
charities, energy companies and the Civil Service, helping them make accurate
recruitment decisions and to provide support in times of redundancy. This means the
advice in this book is very comprehensive and well-rounded. Denise also trains
interviewers and recruiters.

Award (sponsored by The Independent Newspaper) for The Gold Career Programme, which
focuses on anyone who seeks clarity on their career future.
