"Searching for your first graduate job is an exciting time, but can often leave you feeling lost and frustrated. So here's a secret-it's not all about you! Getting a job interview is also about your employer. Added to this, the tools that recruiters and job seekers use have changed, and to be successful, you'll need:

An online and in-person profile for yourself before you even approach an employer. A job application that solves an employer's problems, and fulfils their hopes and dreams. To use technology as the cornerstone of your job seeking process.

In this practical, step-by-step job hunting guide, industry veteran Ian Allan will become your personal career guidance mentor. You'll be given a foolproof process for writing a resume and cover letter that will go straight to the top of the ""yes"" pile, and a method for job hunting that includes identifying your skills gaps-and what to do about them.

Plus, Ian will teach you useful strategies for finding the four out of five dream jobs that aren't advertised, and share actionable tips on how to build relationships so you get that job interview.

Draw on Ian's decades of experience as an employee, employer and consultant to ensure you become an ideal candidate and land the job you've always wanted.

Companion website with four hours of video training and job hunting resources, including LinkedIn profile tips, downloadable templates, and real-world examples of successful job applications."

Reviews for The Job Hunting Book

The world of work is undergoing seismic changes as a result of a global pandemic, financial crises, and advancing technologies. With this context, Ian Allan mentors graduates through the job hunt in this straight-talking and practical book. I like how he filters his advice through the experiences of two fictitious characters, Alex the job hunter and Lou the hirer. The book is well-structured and easy to read in four main parts built around a pyramid with stages from research to application. The focus is on relationships and building your presence or personal brand as the foundation for engagement. The style places ownership on you, both empowering and challenging you to do the hard work involved in the job hunt. It's an effective mix of 'how tos' with supporting resources via a website. Because the author's experience is from Australia, there are one or two cultural differences from the UK, but they don't detract from the helpfulness of the book. Overall, this is an up-to-date resource that graduate job hunters will find very useful. - David Shindler, Career and Performance Coach, Author of 'Learning to Leap'
