An expert guide to finding work and advancing your career in a new, post-COVID job market

It's brutal. I'm frustrated. Nobody is responding…

These are the comments heard in almost every conversation about the job market these days—as every opportunity and posting attracts hundreds if not thousands of applicants. And all too often, people think technology will do everything for them.

Getting a job today takes so much more than just updating your resume and sending it out everywhere. Instead, you'll be online assessing, video responding, and amplifying your visibility in a competitive job market.

I Need a Job! lays out exactly what you need, with an action plan for competing in an ever-evolving workscape.

Written by Gary Burnison, CEO of Korn Ferry and New York Times bestselling author, the book contains timely advice from a firm that places a professional in a job every three minutes of the workday. It captures the essentials of what will help you stand out and break away from the rest:

• Your A.C.T.—Be authentic. Make a connection. Give others a taste of who you are.
• Knowing Yourself—Before you focus outward, it's important to first look inward—so you can move onward.
• Assessing for Success—Assessments permeate the hiring environment and at every stage of the process.
• Putting Your I in AI—Employers are using AI—and so can you.
• Networking in the New World of Work—Your skills qualify you, but networking gets you in the door.
• Interviewing: From Prep Time to Go Time—Know the story you tell and who you will tell it to.

I Need a Job! is your guide for navigating the confusion and cutting through the uncertainty. Following its timely advice and timeless wisdom, you will elevate yourself—to be noticed, land the interview, and get the job you want.
