505 0 A book about advice, not an advice book -- The company you
keep -- You are just like Coca-Cola : selling your self
through personal branding -- Being generic-- and not-- in
the right way -- Getting off the screen and into networks
-- Didn't we meet on LinkedIn? -- Changing the
technological infrastructure of hiring -- The decision
makers : what it means to be a hiring manager, recruiter,
or HR person -- When moving on is the new normal -- We
wanted a labor force but human beings came instead.
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.
