Get The Job You Want, Even When No One's Hiring: Take Charge of Your Career, Find a Job You Love, and Earn What You Deserve

Chapter 5. The Number-One Secret to Job Search Success

What you are about to read, study, and work on should be taught in schools. But it's not. We go through 12 years of education, possibly four more years of college, and sometimes even two to four more years of graduate school, and not one day is spent on how to manage your career, find work you truly enjoy, and make sure you're well compensated for it. Not one day!

Employers should teach this material, too. It's to every employer's advantage to make sure that their people are proactively managing their careers, are doing work they're well-suited for, and are equipped to perform at their full potential.
