Regular job searches SUCK! They don’t have to if you know what to do. Put yourself in the driver’s seat of your job search and get amazing job offers from companies you’re dying to work with.
After years of coaching students to C-Suite executives at Fortune 500's I developed a custom-tailored job search strategy designed to keep the job seeker engaged in their search and drive the offers they really want, really quickly.
About this project: I’ve spent my career helping senior executives, talented professionals and new graduates find their dream jobs. Their job searches were slow, stalled or even DOA before we met; after just a few weeks of working together, they landed jobs they wanted. And they loved the work we did together. I bottled up the best step-by-step advice from these one-on-one sessions into 120 action-packed pages, just for you. Take it and run.
Who should read this book? If you want a new job right now, you need to read this book. If you want to be known in your industry, you need to read this book. If you want your dream employer to create a job for you, you need to read this book.
What you’ll learn:
● How to take back your search and get employers to chase YOU
● How to take HR/Corporate Recruiters out of the process and get offers directly from hiring managers
● How to create an undeniable value in the market that will generate offers for you and you alone
For Job Seekers: You need a new job right now. I’ll show you how to:
● Use proven strategies to beat out more qualified competition
● Reignite a dead search
● Move into a new field
● Win every interview using a simple, two-step process
For Rock Stars: You like where you are, but you have one eye on the next big thing and you want to build your profile. I’ll show you how to:
● Make companies fight over you when they hear your story
● Stand out to recruiters and executives running “secret searches"
● Make your current employer beg to give you promotions for fear of losing you to the competition
For Students: You’re graduating, your loan payments are due and you don’t know where to start. I’ll show you how to:
● Beat out your competition, including more seasoned job seekers
● Get the $$$'s you really deserve instead of taking a salary you can barely live off of
● Set yourself up for the best promotions and job offers for your entire career
Why this book?
Most job search advice is terrible. Job searches are miserable. And I could spend every hour of every day of my life advising job seekers and I wouldn’t scratch the surface of the need in this area. I want to reach as many people as possible with this message. I want to help job seekers take back control of their search. Everyday people come to me that need my help to find great jobs but they simply can't afford my services. Even with the 10 hours a week that I set aside for pro bono work it doesn't scratch the surface of the demand for real help for job seekers that have been struggling for months and sometimes, years.
Why Kickstarter?
My goal is to get this book in the hands of every job seeker. My funding goal will generate enough cash to pay for the cost of publishing to get a copy of The Suck Less Job Search to 500 colleges and universities across the country to help new grads and alumni. After that mission has been achieved I will be giving this book away for FREE to anyone that needs help in their search.
What they're saying about The Suck Less Job Search:
Adam's advice is right on. He makes it fun to figure out what job you want, then actually go get it. I definitely recommend this book. -Josh Beser
Adam helped me identify my true calling and establish my brand. He is a job search whisperer. -Bob Lugari
After 9 months of searching I received not 1 but 2 job offers in the same week. I received the first offer from Company A and was considering it even though it was not my first choice company. Company B then countered with a more competitive offer, reflecting a significant increase in base + bonus. Adam’s program and counseling is practical, empowering and it works. -Deidre Hudson
Adam is a very precise and strategic thinker when it came to my job search. He put it into simple, easy to follow steps. Using some of his systems, I had an offer before I was even done with his program. -Travis Hill
Adam helped me get a job when the phones stopped ringing. His creativity and impromptu strategies made me the only candidate for the job I won. -Jeff Katz
Adam has guided me through exiting a corporate job with no future and helped me create and grow my own venture. Get this guy on your side and the sky is the limit. -Tom Mills
I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Adam for many years - he is a trusted friend and a respected colleague. Adam is the quintessential professional with the knowledge base and experience that provide him with the ability to be a world class coach and an effective mentor. I consider myself lucky to be among his circle of friends and associates -Mark Ginsberg
Risks and challenges
You are more important than my book! Without you this book doesn't reach the audience that are suffering paralysis in their search. Without you a son or daughter loses out on opportunities they have been dreaming about their young adult lives. Without you job seekers lose hope, devalue themselves and forget all the magic they can bring to great companies.
My biggest challenge even after this project is funded is getting the word out there about The Suck Less Job Search.
Your investment in passing this project along, sending The Suck Less Job Search to a friend or using this resource for your own search goes a long way to helping get the word out. I am only one guy with one network. Together, we can make a huge difference empowering people to get the best jobs of their careers!
