Publisher Description
Here is a vital new job-search approach customized for people over forty, from the author of60 Seconds & You're Hired!
With unemployment hitting all-time highs, the over-forty crowd is struggling to land new jobs. But America's top career counselor, Robin Ryan, is here to help them jump-start their careers. Ryan's market-tested program tells how to effectively stand out and appeal to employers amid age discrimination and a flood of competition. She inspires listeners to tap into the "hidden job market" where eighty percent of all jobs are found, explains how to create targeted r├®sum├®s and master the interview, and outlines how to overcome any age-related stereotypes they may encounter in their job hunt.
Ryan has created a guide of valuable advice and detailed explanations culled from over twenty years of experience as a career counselor that people over forty will find indispensable as they look for work.

" This book is marketed more for the executive who earns a higher income than most, but the tips in this book can apply to many positions that one applies for. I wish I read this earlier, but will put some of these tips into use, if my 2nd interview w/ a company doesn't work out. "
