520 8  Finding a job used to be simple. You'd show up at an 
       office and ask for an application. A friend would mention 
       a job in their department. Or you'd see an ad in a 
       newspaper and send in your cover letter. Maybe you'd call 
       the company a week later to check in, but the basic 
       approach was easy. And once you got a job, you would stay 
       often for decades. Now ...well, it's complicated. If you 
       want to have a shot at a good job, you need to have a 
       robust profile on LinkedIn. And an enticing personal 
       brand. Or something like that - contemporary how-to books 
       tend to offer contradictory advice. But they agree on one 
       thing: in today's economy, you can't just be an employee 
       looking to get hired - you have to market yourself as a 
       business, one that can help another business achieve its 
       goals. That's a radical transformation in how we think 
       about work and employment, says Ilana Gershon. She digs 
       deep into that change and what it means, not just for job 
       seekers, but for businesses and our very culture. In 
       telling her story, Gershon covers all parts of the 
       employment spectrum: she interviews hiring managers about 
       how they assess candidates; attends personal branding 
       seminars; talks with managers at companies around the 
       United States to suss out regional differences like how 
       Silicon Valley firms look askance at the lengthier 
       employment tenures of applicants from the Midwest. And she
       finds that not everything has changed: though the 
       technological trappings may be glitzier, in a lot of cases,
       who you know remains more important than what you know.
