商品描述

As a techie, you're a special breed, with special challenges facing you in the job search. Your competition is smart, tech-savvy, and highly resourceful. Expectations among employers are higher. Your competition will run you over if you're not up to the challenge. Land the Tech Job You Love gives you the background, the skills, and the hard-won wisdom to bypass the mistakes of those who don't prepare.

You might not think you need this book. Conventional Wisdom has it that finding a job is simple: send some resumes, go on some interviews, and take the offer that sounds best. But that's only the start. You've got the background and skills to work the Web and other resources that the general job seeker doesn't. This book shows you how to take advantage of those skills or be left behind by competing techies who do.

It all starts with an examination of you, your strengths, and where you want your career to take you. Without a roadmap, you'll wind up in any old job. Life's too short to spend in a job that you don't love. From there, you'll see how to find the job you want that fits you and the employer, using your technical and web savvy to find the hidden jobs that never make it into the classifieds or Monster.

"Marketing" is not a dirty word, and you'll learn how to present yourself, your skills, and your background in the way that shows the hiring company that you're the right person for the job. Create a resume that tosses out conventional wisdom, write cover letters that sell your background, and assemble a portfolio of work that will wow the interviewer.

Social networking has been the darling of the Web in the past few years, but it's no substitute for the sort of personal interaction that makes relationships that help in future careers. As one manager said, "One recommendation is worth a million resumes." This book shows you how to make and maintain the connections that will drive your future career moves.

Land the Tech Job You Love pulls no punches and lays out the details for what gets you an interview, and gets you hired in a job in the technical world that makes you happy.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

作為一位科技人員,你是一個特殊的群體,面臨著特殊的求職挑戰。你的競爭對手聰明、精通技術且資源豐富。雇主對你的期望更高。如果你無法應對挑戰,你的競爭對手將輕易地超越你。《找到你喜愛的科技工作》為你提供了背景知識、技能和寶貴的智慧,幫助你避免那些沒有準備的人所犯的錯誤。

你可能認為你不需要這本書。傳統智慧認為找工作很簡單:發送一些簡歷,參加一些面試,然後接受聽起來最好的工作機會。但這只是開始。你具備了網絡和其他一般求職者所不具備的背景和技能。這本書將教你如何利用這些技能,否則你將被那些有競爭力的科技人員拋在身後。

一切都始於對你自己、你的優勢以及你想要的職業發展方向的檢視。如果沒有路線圖,你最終會落入任何一份工作中。人生太短暫,不值得浪費在你不喜歡的工作上。從那裡開始,你將學會如何找到適合你和雇主的工作,利用你的技術和網絡技巧找到那些從未出現在分類廣告或Monster上的隱藏工作。

「行銷」並不是一個污穢的詞語,你將學會如何以展示你自己、你的技能和背景的方式來向雇主展示你是合適的人選。創建一份摒棄傳統智慧的簡歷,撰寫能夠推銷你背景的求職信,並組建一個能夠讓面試官驚艷的作品集。

社交網絡在過去幾年中一直是網絡的寵兒,但它無法替代那種能夠建立有助於未來職業發展的人際互動。正如一位經理所說的:“一個推薦信價值百萬份簡歷。”這本書將教你如何建立和維護關係,推動你未來的職業發展。

《找到你喜愛的科技工作》毫不留情地揭示了讓你獲得面試並在科技領域找到讓你快樂的工作的細節。
