Accordingly, in The 21st Century Job Search, he revisits his previous comments on such things as wearing large engagement rings to job interviews, his short-lived position as a career coach at a New York university, and coping with discrimination, topics which raised some eyebrows when he originally wrote about them on LinkedIn. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the book you will learn: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to prepare for an effective job search;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to research prospective employers;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to handle your Internet presence;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to utilize LinkedIn to build your brand and attract employers;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to effectively network - especially if you are shy;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to prepare for surprises;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to correctly read job descriptions to avoid frustration;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat really happens to, and how to write, effective cover letters;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat really happens to, and how to write, effective resumes;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to properly prepare for phone, video and in-person interviews;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat questions to ask, and how to answers questions you will be asked, in interviews;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to follow-up after an interview;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbout legal and illegal discrimination; and\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbout negotiating, offer letters and resigning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHurwitz also tackles the \"tough\" questions of dealing with a \"resume gap,\" raising health issues, being fired and how to turn having been a stay-at-home parent or caregiver into an attraction for employers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut he does not simply tell readers what to do, when possible, he shows them.
