Publisher's Synopsis
Are you unemployed? Or, are you overworked, underpaid, and stuck in a lifeless job, reporting to someone who doesn't seem to be doing much better than you are? You're not alone. Corporations once needed large inflows of middle managers and the formally educated. Many of these posts have disappeared or have been displaced by outsourcing, offshoring, international competition, and by technology. There is a widespread and growing under-employment problem facing almost every society. Many are working at jobs that do not require the experience and schooling they possess. In the United States up to 44% are under-employed; in Canada this number is 40%. Though there has been some job growth over the past few years, these jobs are mostly lower-paid without a solid ladder to success. In this original and groundbreaking program you'll learn how to develop your own highly compensated career opportunities. Specifically, you'll learn new and exciting ways to: Identify your marketable skills and attributes Translate your strengths into in-demand occupational titles Express your capabilities in results that are highly sought after by today's organizations Market yourself in several ways: As an employee, consultant, coach, vendor, and contract associate Get paid what you're worth, and far more through enhanced negotiation skills Develop new, highly paid occupational titles that put you into a class by yourself Learn to overcome the hurdles and barriers of the traditional job market Use advertised job listings as springboards to better jobs Reach top executives presenting yourself and your capabilities at the highest possible levels, and more.
