Ask any talented job hunter: Did you follow the proper steps in your job search?
Of course. What went wrong? I hit an unexpected obstacle.
Success in job hunting isn’t about chasing job postings, sending resumes, and filling out endless online application forms. If any of it worked, you’d have the job you want.
This isn’t rocket science. Once you get it, it’s obvious. Each of the
9 Fearless Job Hunting
books shows you how to overcome daunting obstacles that stop other job hunters dead in their tracks. Get the edge -- and say hello to total control over your job search.

Complete Collection.
Forget luck. Forget what "human resources
experts" have taught you. It's all bureaucratic bunk. No one wins (or
fills) a job by following "the steps" dictated by America’s defunct
Employment System.
They succeed by beating the System: By knowing the best way to
handle a few make-or-break situations, thereby setting themselves above their competition.
It's time to throw away your resume or your job
description and Ask The Headhunter. Nick Corcodilos
is a headhunter, and he's the author of
How to Work with
Headhunters... and how to make headhunters work for you.
And he's here to help you.
Since 1995, Nick Corcodilos has been here,
online, revealing the fallacies that conspire to keep talented workers and good employers
apart—and openly sharing the headhunter’s sound, profitable methods for
getting them together.
If you're changing careers—or changing jobs—Nick's Answer
Kit: How Can I Change Careers? will show you how. Most
job hunters flounder when it's time to make a change. HCICC?
teaches you how to get in the door, and how to prove to a demanding
employer that hiring you will pay off.
Take it from Nick's Ask
The Headhunter audience, fearless job hunters who have been proving
his methods work for over a decade:
"I love Nick's new Answer Kit, Keep Your Salary Under Wraps. It
worked for me. Nick gave me the same advice that's in the book when
I was negotiating a job offer several years ago. Despite both the
headhunter and the company insisting I disclose what I was getting
paid at my old job, I stuck to my guns and I was able to DOUBLE my
salary. Plus I got a signing bonus. That would have never happened
in a million years if I had caved!"
—Bernie Dietz Learn how to say NO when employers demand your salary history, to make them say YES to higher job offers.

special mp3 about salary, from a workshop Nick
presented to Cornell's Executive MBA Program!)
None of this easy. If it
were, everyone would be changing jobs and careers quickly and
successfully. But success—and landing the right job—requires
careful planning, lots of work, and an understanding
about why companies hire people. That's what gives you the
insider's edge.
This Ask The Headhunter reader says it
best:
| "The
great news about your recommendations is that they work.
The good news for those of us who use them is that few
people are really willing to implement what you recommend,
giving those of us who do an edge." —

A message from Nick
Since starting Ask The Headhunter in 1995, I have answered over
30,000 questions
about job hunting and hiring—one at a time, in writing, on the Ask The Headhunter discussion board. ATH has grown into a
vibrant dialogue with thousands of people who recognize that America's Employment System is broken. They want an edge when job
hunting—just as managers want an edge when hiring.
Ask The Headhunter isn't about resumes, interviews or job postings—and it
isn't about doing tricks to get jobs. It's about job hunters and employers rolling up their sleeves and demonstrating to one
another that there's value in working together.
Each week, in the
Ask The
Headhunter Newsletter, I share perspectives, methods, and tips to help you be your own headhunter.
We tackle the
most daunting problems faced by both job hunters and hiring managers, and
I do my best to address your questions head-on. The newsletter is
delivered via e-mail. It is not archived online. And it's FREE!
Newsletter subscribers can submit their questions to a special e-mail address that comes direct to me. Each week, I personally
select the best ones and I answer them in the newsletter.
