The 2-Hour Job Search

In good and bad economies alike, the single hardest step of the modern job search is getting an interview. The only predictable way to get an interview is through networking, but "networking" is frustratingly vague advice. How exactly do you network so that it leads to interviews? In this book/workshop, The 2-Hour Job Search author and 17-year Duke MBA career coach Steve Dalton offers an exact process – rather than a series of tips – for effectively turning strangers into advocates, leading to more internal referrals and more job interviews, even when career-changing into sectors or regions where you lack any relevant contacts or experience. This session proposes an efficient alternative to hopelessly applying to online job postings. The 2-Hour Job Search turns “networking” into a finite and repeatable recipe. To create this recipe, Dalton drew upon the latest science ranging from behavioral economics to operations theory to social psychology to split networking into its three component parts: prioritizing targets, contacting employees, and recruiting advocacy. Each will be discussed in turn to help job seekers harness free and simple technology to get the right job faster, and attendees will leave the session knowing exactly what they need to do next. Readers/attendees will learn how to: · Identify and prioritize target employers in an efficient and strategic manner · Understand how to comfortably and effectively request time & knowledge from strangers · Conduct informational meetings that maximize odds of converting a contact into a colleague
