This book basically convinces you to change the way to find the job you want.<\/p>\n

The difference with others I have read is that it proposes you a specific approach with clear steps you have to follow.<\/p>\n

One of the main messages is that if you send CVs on any job board, you will compete against 70 – 80 people; if you use this method you will compete against 2 – 3 people.<\/p>\n

The proposed road-map is:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Target identification: job titles (define at least 5) with target companies (30 – 40 companies) and location area.<\/li>\n
  2. Market validation:<\/li>\n
  3. Consistent connection:build relationship with people, connect with them for learning and looking clarity.\n
      \n
    1. Identify the experts: look for people who do these jobs or that have done the job in the past. Get in touch with 10 of them per week.<\/li>\n
    2. Try to get introduced through your contacts. If not, get in touch directly.<\/li>\n
    3. Meet the person in person or by phone.<\/li>\n
    4. Follow-up, follow-up, follow-up.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    5. Craft your career narrative.<\/li>\n
    6. Red carpet application.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \"the-career-upgrade-roadmap\"<\/a>At the end of the day, they suggest you to use your contact list as a CRM, get in touch with people, build relationship and dig into these relationships to find these positions that are never published on the on-line boards. The key aspect is: be persistent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
