When we master these skills, we make the chore of getting a great job, the job we want, more a certainty than a hopeful wish.This book will show you how to network better, how to create an effective email pitch, write a powerful resume and cover letter, and how to persuade recruiters that you offer the most value to satisfy their needs.
