Paul Rega is president of a retained executive search firm and a professional recruiter with over twenty-seven years of job hunting and career planning experience. His provocative new book, "How To Find A Job: When There Are No Jobs" strikes a nerve with millions of displaced workers and goes well beyond the principles of job hunting. Paul introduces a revolutionary concept in career management and personal development called "Intuitive Personal Assessment." He takes his readers on a powerful journey as he tells a gripping story about his own career and the challenges faced as an executive recruiter, often fraught with personal tragedy. This is a must read for anyone who is looking for a new job or wants to change careers in the worst economy since the Great Depression.

The author shares his vast knowledge of career planning and the inner workings of the job search process, citing hundreds of proven and effective job search techniques. He explains how to market your background to a targeted audience, interviewing skills and techniques, network building strategies, how to utilize personal and business contacts, effective use of social media, including LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter, insider tips on working with headhunters, salary and benefits negotiation, how to write a resume, cover and follow-up letters, how to start and succeed in your own business and much more.

In a message to his readers, Paul believes that despite the many challenges faced by those suffering as a result of the weak job market, change in one's life can be positive. He explains that, "Change throughout your life is inevitable, and as your life changes so often does your career." His book is an effective guide that will provide you with the necessary tools, skills and inside knowledge from a professional recruiter to help you navigate through difficult economic times and find a new job or change careers.

Tremendous Insight!

"A rare insider's look into how a headhunter thinks as it relates to career planning and the job search process. If you need a job or want to change careers in this dismal economy and want the answers to what companies are really looking for, then read this book."

Robert Olsen

"Paul is a values-driven executive recruiter that does an excellent job at finding and matching talent with business opportunity for mutual benefit among all parties. Paul earned my trust and acted in a highly professional manner with an Engineering Manager search he led for Quaker Oats."

Patrick Mitten, COO B-O-F Corporation


A Powerful Account of Triumph Over Adversity

"Over the years I have read countless "how to books," but Paul Rega's new job search book was from the beginning much different. It was a powerful, engaging read where the author incorporates many of his personal career stories and insight about the job search process as an executive headhunter. This is by far the best job search book and career planning guide on the market. Mr. Rega's many years of experience as an executive recruiter was evident throughout the book. He shares his extensive knowledge of the job search process with many examples and advice that can only be gained from an expert in his field. His book gave me the insight and courage I needed to finally land a job in this difficult economy. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is serious about wanting to find a new job or change careers."

You put hours and hours of hard work into your job search and the companies you've contacted never call. It's a story all too common in the fast-paced, highly competitive world of job hunting. Nothing is more discouraging than sending one resumé after another into the job-hunting void. Eventually, you expect silence from the other end.

These techniques, developed by author Orville Pierson, have been used successfully for ten years by Lee Hecht Harrison (LHH), the world's premier career services company. Here, Pierson provides you with the job-search techniques that up to now have been limited to the LHH consultants he trains.

Orville Pierson has helped thousands of job hunters during his career, taking note of the characteristics that have led to success as well as failure. In The Unwritten Rules of the Highly Effective Job Search, he supplies key information on how professional job search consultants structure the job search project so you can apply the same winning strategies to your own search. You'll also be privy to inside information on how decision makers operate, enabling you to get the inside track on job openings before they are announced.

This insider's guide covers every phase of the job search, leading you step by step through the process of creating a clear-cut plan-essential to every job search. Using the Pierson Method, you'll learn how to

Develop a Target List (the key ingredient to every job search) Measure your progress Create a “core message” about yourself that decision makers won't forget Present yourself in the best possible light to prospective employers

Using these strategies, Orville Pierson and LHH have helped 600,000 people land great new jobs. Employ the Pierson Method in your hunt for employment and you'll soon be doing what you love in the company that's right for you.

Interviewing like a consultant, rather than a typical job candidate allows you to communicate your skills and experience without appearing arrogant or having the hiring manage fearing for his job if he hires you. Instead you appear as "seasoned" and can be used as the benchmark against the other job candidates.

This book is written by a former headhunter and employment manager who perfected a job interview system that helps you to interview like a consultant and stand out from the competition.

Responding to competency based interview questions is important to understand when job hunting. You also need to know the good questions to ask in an interview.

Common interview questions and answers are good to know, however in this economy you need to stand out from the job hunting crowd and communicate that you are a problem solver.

With the "How to Interview like a Consultant to Increase Your Job Offers" guide, you will discover the easy-to-follow savvy techniques not many other job hunting candidates are using to ace their job interview and get more job offers.

In addition to the most common interview questions, "How to Interview like a Consultant to Increase Your Job Offers" guide also contains “real world” questions and answers designed to demonstrate your experience in a way that allows you to guide the interview - instead of feeling like you are on the hot seat being interrogated.

This is not a book on theory, but rather is based upon practical application. It includes sample cover and follow-up letters and how to use them effectively; a resume check list and how to use letters of recommendation and references. If the hiring manager wants an initial phone screen, this job hunting guide helps you prepare to ensure an in-person interview follows.

The "How to Interview like a Consultant to Increase Your Job Offers" guide is easy-to-use and takes you through the interview process rather than just supplying you with a list of questions and answers. It helps you to properly plan and interview with confidence.

The 56 page content rich guide takes you through the entire interview process from cover letter to job negotiations and acceptance.

The impolite truth nobody mentions in college commencement speeches: "Many of you have just spent four years and a small fortune studying something you will never use, and, if you do, you won't like all that much. Have a nice life." Up until now, you've had to rely on hit-and-miss methods of picking your career that lead to only 30 percent of college graduates reporting satisfaction with their careers.

That's because up until now there has never been a book that guides you through the difficult process of designing a career that gives you the best chance for both high-level success and satisfaction. But career guru Nicholas Lore has found a way to show you how to custom design a career where you will:

Look forward to going to work

Be extremely successful and productive

Use your natural talents fully in work that fits your personality

Be highly respected because you excel at your work

In Now What?, he helps you put all the pieces together to make wise decisions about what you will do with your life and how you can best go about setting and accomplishing your life and work goals. You'll also learn the skills you need to live an extraordinary life.

Filled with charts, worksheets, and quizzes, Now What? is the cutting-edge guide for choosing a career that fits you perfectly -- whether you're a college student, a twentysomething already out in the working world, or a high school student just getting started.

Bennett-Alexander and Hartman's Employment Law for Business, 7/e addresses law and employment decisions from a managerial perspective. It is intended to instruct students on how to manage effectively and efficiently with full comprehension of the legal ramifications of their decisions.

Students are shown how to analyze employment law facts using concrete examples of management-related legal dilemmas that do not present clear-cut solutions. The methods of arriving at resolutions are emphasized, so that when the facts of the workplace problem are not quite the same, the student can still reach a good decision based on the legal considerations required by law, which remain relevant.

From one of the most influential economists of the modern era, Keynes and his "General Theory" shaped economic thought and government policies for decades to come. Out of this magnum opus arose the Keynesian school of economics. Keynes argues that the level of employment in a modern economy was determined by three factors: the marginal propensity to consume (income that people chose to spend on goods and services), the marginal efficiency of capital (the rate used to see whether investments are worthy) and the rate of interest. This work has enormous implications to the present day in understanding the policies and that have shaped the current environment. "The General Theory is nothing less than an epic journey out of intellectual darkness. That, as much as its continuing relevance to economic policy, is what makes it a book for the ages. Read it, and marvel." - Paul Krugman, Professor of Economics, winner of the 2008 Nobel prize in economics.
