by Omar Garriott
"An estimated seven in ten American employees want a new job. Millions more are making for their first career step after graduating. And most of them will use LinkedIn-or try. Because while LinkedIn is the dominant platform for hiring, networking, and recruiting, very few job seekers know how to maximize its incredible power.

Now they're sharing all they know in Linked, the definitive guide to conquering LinkedIn, written for everyone from the newly minted college graduate to midlife career-changer. At the core of Linked is an indispensable five-step framework for the modern job search. It gives candidates the tools and techniques that matter most to cut through the clutter on LinkedIn's massive site while focusing on the new realities of the job market-including how employers actually zero in on new hires, and how you can you ensurethat you stand out. Clear, lively, accessible, and direct, Linked teaches how to burnish your increasingly important personal online brand. Work the powerful Network Effect, like turning a simple introduction into an invaluable referral. Learn how to think like a recruiter and tailor your profile and job application to their needs. Master the three rules of the LinkedIn search algorithm, and game the Applicant Tracking Systems used by more and more recruiters. And employ advanced LinkedIn hacks, like playing "Who Viewed My Profile Roulette," and strategically post articles relevant to the industry you want to join. The result: not just the job of your dreams, but a future secured"

Job Interview Tips for Overcoming Red Flags : Winning Strategies, Examples, and Short Stories for People With Not-so-hot Backgrounds
by Ronald L. Krannich
Most people have one or two red flags in their background ; some minor and embarrassing, others major job killers. Given today's high-tech world, with its rapid communication and instant background checks, your red flags may follow you wherever you go. For employers, they become major objections to hiring and the bases for firing. While most interview books are designed for the perfect job seeker ; the well-educated, credentialed, goal-oriented, skilled, enthusiastic, and accomplished ; this book addresses those who struggle to get ahead because of their less than stellar backgrounds. Many of them make poor education and career choices, frequently change jobs, get into trouble, and experience bad luck. They are risky hires. That's the subject of this unique book for job seekers ; how to best handle red flags during the job interview. It's all about convincing reluctant employers to hire you -- speaking truth to power, turning weaknesses into strengths, scrubbing a sketchy background, preparing for sensitive interviews, and knowing what to say and do when confronted with red flag issues.
