Finding a new job can be stressful. Assessing positions and employers, meeting the requirements in a job description, competing with other job searchers, and submitting an application that will get noticed-each element comes with its own set of obstacles.

Whether you're fresh out of school, have been working for decades, or somewhere in between, this book offers you tips and advice for navigating your job hunt. You'll discover how to define what you want in a new role, find the position you want, and pitch yourself as a standout candidate. You'll learn how to: Identify your strengths and create a personal brand; ignite your network to find the best opportunities; write an attention-grabbing résumé and cover letter; prepare for and answer common interview questions; negotiate your job offer, from benefits to salary; and start your first day on the right foot.
