“The rules for finding a job have changed. Sending your résumé to headhunters, applying for jobs online or responding to advertisements are time wasters. Instead, recruiter Paul Hill shows you how to create a professional online presence – a “ProfessionaliBrand” – that tells future employers who you are and why they should hire you. Hill’s job-hunting advice starts with a foray into self-help with recommendations for techniques you can use to build confidence and overcome negative emotions that impede your ability to get a job. Some readers will benefit from this kick-off, while others may find it off-putting, but anyone who is job hunting can learn from Hill’s far more extensive advice about making the most of your résumé, your online activities and your ability to network. getAbstract recommends his guidance to those searching for a job or for a career change that really fits.”

“When job searchers hit the panic button, what prospective employers see is a frazzled candidate whose actions are anything other than what mutual benefit their skill-set offers. Why not enter, then into, THE PANIC FREE JOB SEARCH (Career Press)? The edge on the competition is, after all, the confidence one has; to take the edge off the prospective employers nerves that their needs won’t be met. The last thing they need is a panicked candidate. Easier said than done, but author Paul Hill’s mastery of the subject is not so typical. THE PANIC FREE JOB SEARCH is cram pack with gems of real-time wisdom about social networking; divulging secrets upon secrets of what is looked for from written and spoken communications (not a time to be tongue-tied, when the future is as sensitive as threading a needle with time). Simply, my favorite part is chapter 4’s ‘The Secret to Certainty and Confidence.’ Hill’s intellectual architecture is also fascinating early on; for instance on page 43, ‘Sustainable Competitive Advantage’ shown at Image 2.1. In a world full of panic button pushers comes a 246 pages book that says, ‘Why?’ when by others are saying ‘Why me?’ THE PANIC FREE JOB SEARCH provides the tools necessary for prospective candidate to get in a time machine to the future of social networking which we already live in now and, with a few simply ins and outs, (author Paul Hill) provides readers the directions to blast off from old bad habits of jon searching and, instead, land panic free onto the unchartered territory of strategic communications with today’s social networking. Only then will panicked readers know their way from the ‘fight and flight’ of today’s competitive job search market.”

“This book is a real deal. Most books don’t live up to the hype on the back cover. I was more than surprised -I was expecting a heavy read not so, the book has a great “voice”, is funny and packed full of great information backed up by studies and citations. The book does not only introduce novel ideas on how to get hired, the real “how to do it” – not just what to do. The author also supports his readers with a live show every week and the book leads you to tons of resources on his web site […] . He shows you how to open up the world of opportunities and bring jobs to your doorstep instead of chasing jobs.

This book actually has helped me with my recent job search tremendously. It not only tells you how to look for the right job but also helps you put things into perspective for yourself and focus on “what’s important”. Paul Hill shows you how to not only get the good jobs but also get the RIGHT jobs for you! I recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone out there trying to improve their professional lives.”

“I have read my share of career and job search books. This one is full of laughs and super advice. It picks you up, gives you the confidence to reach for more and shows you how to target what you want and how to lay out your full internet, social and engagement strategy and tactics to get employers interested in you.

“It is so true how everyone goes into a panic when they lose their job. Paul Hill shows in the book how to end the cycle of getting hired and then looking for another job. He demonstrates how you can be pro-active about career management and end that cycle. There is so much great information is this book, don’t be mislead by the title, it is not only for the unemployed but for people that are seeking a change, or not sure what to do. This book has me re-thinking things. It is fresh stuff, full of tips and ‘how-tos’ about the web and social network sites and social media. I have read What Color is Your Parachute, but I like this book more, it is a full A to Z of job search and career management but updated for the times. Can’t wait for his next book! I’m a fan.”

Shahjahan Siddique, Amazon.ca, book purchaser

According to Paul, this book is really helpful for the jobseeker not only for unemployed people but also who want to change their career. I strongly believe it will also guide me to get a professional job.”

” I first got introduced to the author through a show called Get Hired Fast Track he has on vokle every week to help job hunters.
