And when Charlotte talks, people take action Although the official unemployment rate has been dropping steadily, there are 15 million more Americans out of the labor force today than there were a decade ago (about 80 million vs. 95 million). And the competition for jobs in today's market is fiercer than ever. The good old days when all you had to do to get a job was match up the skills on your resume to an online job spec are long gone. And they're not coming back anytime soon. Today, human resources people hire fewer than five percent of applicants. And why not? Hiring is now a buyers' market. The applicant pool is well stocked with highly qualified people with powerful skills and impressive CVs. Not surprisingly, employers have raised their expectations for applicants. Hiring managers tend to be conservative, holding out for candidates clearly able to do the job-usually candidates who've already done the job successfully elsewhere. In the new paradigm, you need to establish your value in the marketplace. To do that, you need to listen actively to potential employers about what's keeping them up at night. Then you need to figure out which of your skills will fix their problem and how you're going to persuade them to hire you as either a contractor or a full-time employee. You've got to show them you can help them meet the challenges they face, simply and seamlessly. Read this book, and you'll learn everything you need to know to land the perfect job.
