I know there are a lot of frustrated job seekers out there. Unfortunately, there is a lot of, well the best way of saying it is, CRAP advice out there. Your Ebook, gets right to the heart of the matter. 1. Network with people in the companies you want to work for (ie... if someone wants to work at EMC, they are probably better off networking with the recruiters or employees of EMC than responding to a job listing on a job board). 2. Do your research about the company, and know exactly whay you want to work there. If you don't know that, don't bother applying, because even if you do get a call from a recruiter, you won't get past the interview. Thanks again! Polly,

LinkedIn is the first place most recruiters I know will go once they get a job req to fill -- yet so many people are not yet there on that MVP of job networks. Thanks for helping to fill the chasm between talent-seeking companies and job seekers with your blog! Polly Pearson Terrific summary Jonathan!
