Book Review 28: This is How to Get Your Next Job

This is How to Get Your Next Job: An Inside Look at What Employers Really Want
Andrea Kay

Recently, I have been a number of books on job hunting skills.
The last time I was looking for a new job it was almost 10 years ago.
As technology gets better, how we do things also change. It doesn't mean it gets easier or its much better now. We used resumes and cover letters then, we still use them now.
However, the environment is different. Social media took off in a really big way. This affects how we look for jobs now.

These are subjects discussed in this book.
Let's review.

The author breaks the main topics in the following chapters.

Chapter 1: You are what you seem
(The employer's point of view.)

Chapter 2: Tell and show
(Important keyword, how will you be remembered?)

Chapter 3: 15 things you should never do
(This chapter is all about mindset.)

Chapter 4: 15 things you should never talk about or say
(I feel this is an important chapter especially when attending interviews)

Chapter 5: 10 things you should never wear
(A good chapter on interview preparation. The key word that keeps coming back to me, good judgement. This chapter is not limited to attire to wear.)

Chapter 6: 15 things you should never do once you get a job or in your career-ever
(Author doesn't stop before and after interview, she presses on after you land the job. Least important but a good read)

Overall a fantastic book and a must read if you out looking for a job today.
