 Jill Konrath, author of Selling to Big Companies, just released a new book designed to help out-of-work professionals put an end to their job search struggles.  Get Back to Work Faster, which changes how job seekers look at job hunting for good, is currently available for download free at www.getbacktoworkfaster.com.

"This isn't a book that will teach people how to write a better resume, dress for interviews or discuss benefits, said Konrath.  "Instead, Get Back to Work Faster shows job seekers how to eliminate that ordeal entirely."

In Get Back to Work Faster, job seekers learn proven techniques to get the attention of decision makers and how to effectively differentiate themselves from others.

They'll also learn: 

• Why they must stop playing the old game if they want to get a job more quickly
• How to sharpen their value proposition so that it appeals to employers
• How to identify untapped opportunities and impress employers with their knowledge
• Ways to become the "must hire" candidate, without competitors

The book, Get Back to Work Faster, began when Konrath, a best-selling sales expert, started seeing friends and family lose their jobs through no fault of their own.  Drawing on her 20+ years as a business consultant, she starting writing a short ebook for her friends detailing how she has created jobs and projects for herself out of thin air - even when an employer had no money in the budget.  The book soon stretched to nearly 200 pages and found a publisher.

"I'm not the typical career consultant and I think that's a very good thing," said Konrath. "Right now, job seekers are struggling to stand out from the hundreds of others trying to get the attention of hiring managers. Resumes and cover letters aren't working because hiring managers are completely overwhelmed--but I've been teaching sellers how to effectively overcome those very same hurdles for years.  It's the exact same issue."

Konrath first started coaching job creation strategies to friends over 25 years ago and has been practicing them herself ever since - doing work she loves in companies that she wants to work for. Over the years, she's turned down many lucrative job offers herself, preferring to run her own business.  

Get Back to Work Faster will be published in paperback in Fall 2009, but is available online for download now at www.getbacktoworkfaster.com/guide.  

Job seekers who download Get Back to Work Faster will also be invited to free job creation webinars featuring bestselling authors such as Keith Ferrazzi, Pamela Slim and Dan Schawbel. The website also includes links to nontraditional resources and tools that will help job seekers with their search.
