Features: As everyone knows, getting a job is easy: first, prepare a detailed resume targeting the job you want; send it to as many companies as possible, the more the better, so you increase your chances of landing a great position with a top company; then wait for the phone call. Wrong! All of this may make sense, and perhaps people have found jobs this way. But if you want a truly great job, the best approach isn’t just common sense—it’s to stand out from the crowd. The more developed society becomes, the more competitive the labor market becomes. There are always amazing jobs, but they’re also much harder to get. Bestselling author and innovative thinker Jeffrey Fox returns to this field with job-seeking advice that’s surprising and bold—free from clichés and sensationalism. His 44 strategies are simple, inspiring, and unconventional, reflecting the importance of creative thinking and perseverance, which are exactly what made Fox one of America’s most competitive businesspeople.
