How To Get The Job You Want

Description

How To Get The Job You Want presents strategies and techniques that help you at any stage of your career journey, even salary negotiation.

Countless self-help books have been written to help people to get a job, prepare for an interview or perform well in an interview. In my case, all of these have been in the technology sector. These organisations got to where they have, purely because of one simple reason—their people. I have learned and studied successful people, their attributes, and their journey to have the job they have. I have applied this and read countless books, been trained, coached, and mentored by many people. One thing that stands out above all else is that the job you want will not come to you. You have to search, find and pursue it with the right approach.

This book is written by Patrick Pathinathan, who is passionate about coaching and career development. His experience spans more than two decades. Now, for the first time, he shares everything he has garnered about helping you get the job you want. The strategies and techniques highlighted in this comprehensive book will help candidates at any stage of their career journey to understand and successfully accomplish each of the key steps to get the job of their dreams.
