| Introduction: Cracking the Hiring Code | |
| |
| |
| |
| You Are Being Eliminated | |
| |
| |
| |
| You're not being hired; you're being excluded | |
| |
| |
| |
| You don't fit their secret criteria | |
| |
| |
| |
| You only get one shot | |
| |
| |
| |
| No one will tell you when you've made a mistake | |
| |
| |
| |
| Hidden patterns cost you jobs | |
| |
| |
| |
| Stop Playing Resume Roulette | |
| |
| |
| |
| Your resume is headed for the trash | |
| |
| |
| |
| You CAN lie on your resume | |
| |
| |
| |
| A computer is deciding your job prospects | |
| |
| |
| |
| You can be an "internal recommendation" or just look like one | |
| |
| |
| |
| Cover letters can cause immediate exclusion | |
| |
| |
| |
| The Internet is working against you | |
| |
| |
| |
| Professional references are useless | |
| |
| |
| |
| Your Interview Is Over | |
| |
| |
| |
| Hiring managers are not on your side | |
| |
| |
| |
| Interviewers will trick you | |
| |
| |
| |
| Your body will betray you | |
| |
| |
| |
| There's one trick to all trick questions | |
| |
| |
| |
| Storytelling is your best defense | |
| |
| |
| |
| There's one "type" that always gets the offer | |
| |
| |
| |
| Your interview may not be real | |
| |
| |
| |
| One size does not fit all | |
| |
| |
| |
| The thank-you note is too late | |
| |
| |
| |
| Calling to "follow up" will cost you the job | |
| |
| |
| |
| Asking questions makes you look like a risk | |
| |
| |
| |
| Screening the company will screen you out | |
| |
| |
| |
| Danger! Traps Ahead! | |
| |
| |
| |
| Your public records are working against you | |
| |
| |
| |
| The initial phone call is a trap | |
| |
| |
| |
| Quitting your job is the kiss of death | |
| |
| |
| |
| Failure to negotiate will cost you more than money | |
| |
| |
| |
| There is a hidden employment contract | |
| |
| |
| |
| Mothers are being hired for less | |
| |
| |
| |
| Don't ever admit you've been fired | |
| |
| |
| |
| Age discrimination is shutting your out | |
| |
| |
| |
| "No" may not mean "no." | |
| |
| |
| |
| Interviewers don't hear what you say | |
| |
| |
| |
| Recruiters must be managed | |
| |
| |
| |
| Your inner voice is not as silent as you think | |
| |
| |
| |
| You can tell when you're "in" or "out" | |
| |
| |
| |
| Your dream job is here | |
| |
| |
| |
| You're Hired. Now What? | |
| |
| |
| |
| The spotlight is on | |
| |
| |
| |
| You must take sides | |
| |
| |
| |
| Your new job is not secure | |
| |
| |
| |
| Looking like you don't belong is the key | |
| |
| |
| |
| Every day is your next interview | |
