Praise from our readers...
"In today's job market, you can ask virtually anyone about his or her experience in finding the right career opportunities, and you're bound to get the same answer: It's a jungle out there.
The winds of change have blown many of us out of our comfort zones. A good education and experience at the right companies no longer open doors, win friends or influence people. Instead, the average job hunt can take anywhere between 3 and 18 months and 85% of positions are never advertised.
Conducting an effective, successful job search can be confusing and overwhelming. The experts tell us it's all about nurturing personal relationships, mastering the intricacies of networking, and staying focused, motivated and on-track. But where do you start? What do you do first? What are you supposed to do when you're sending out hundreds of resumes and not getting any interviews?
In Get Hired Now!, authors C.J Hayden and Frank Traditi have created a one-of-a-kind, 28-day job search system that can help anyone land the job of his or her dreams - faster and easier than ever before.
Not only does the book provide valuable advice and tips on identifying and understanding your career goals and objectives, it also outlines a step-by-step plan with daily activities to accelerate your search and make the most of your available time and energy.
Statistics say the average adult will be changing jobs ten times over his or her lifetime. Which means you can expect to look for a new cubicle or a new corner office at least once every four years! Do *you* have a system? Isn't it time to get one?
Get Hired Now! should be on every professional's must-read list for 2005. Get copies for friends, family, and especially for your college-aged children."
-- Marlene Jaeckel, Atlanta, GA
"If you're looking for a job, looking to change your present job or career, or looking for a promotion or a raise or a different role within the same company, this book is better than gold. I've read a lot of these type of books, and a lot of them are the same--not Get Hired NOW! I've used Frank and C.J.'s system, and it blows away any other advice or counseling I have ever had in finding a job. Their system and advice seems so simple, yet 99% of so-called career counselors and job search strategists don't come close to their powerful advice and practical examples. You learn to market yourself and how to fill a company's needs in a breakthrough manner that no hiring manager can resist. I should know--with their assistance, I got a 75 percent hit rate on my resumes from prospective employers and landed a dream job!! Don't waste time and money with other books, order Get Hired Now right now, and don't waste another 3 or 6 months hoping for the phone to ring!!"
-- Steve Luther, Denver, CO
"I like the Book's practical and systematic approach to the process of job search, obtaining interviews, and getting hired. Its strategies, daily action items, and checklists keep the job seeker focused on reaching the objective in the shortest time and using the most effective techniques. This programme is especially effective where a coach facilitates the programme with a group of job seekers. The coach provides professional assistance in dealing with blocks and obstacles, handling challenges and brainstorming solutions, support during bad times, and celebrating with job seekers when they succeed.
In reading through the Book, I was struck by how much the job search process resembled that of prospecting for business with potential clients. Job-hunting is approached the same as that of sales. Potential employers are treated as if they are potential clients. In one job search, a job seeker targeted six companies. He contacted all of them and called them many times until he got an interview and a job with one of them.
In writing Get Hired Now!, Hayden and Traditi have done a great service in advancing job-seekers interests by sharing a wealth of secrets for getting the job you really want with the talent you already have."
-- Cheng Jih Min, Singapore
"Since buying your book, I'm devouring it. Its cookbook approach is exactly what I needed. It provides a life preserver for when I'm so frustrated that I get blocked and become unable to think of the next step. In this regard your book is a tremendous help."
-- Ken Sanek, Aurora, CO
"I was fortunate enough to receive an advance copy of this book, and have been raving about it ever since. I've seen many "how to" job books, but this one is the most concise, step by step guides to finding a good job I've yet seen.
If a job-seeker gives this book a read, and devotes 28 days to an honest attempt to do the exercises and stick to the program, I feel certain they will have a leg up on the competition, and will reap huge rewards in terms of landing a better, higher paying job. I think this book can prove especially helpful to recent graduates. It is a veritable gold mine of useful, hands on advice on finding suitable employment. As one who has had many jobs, moved to new cities, changed careers, etc., I wish I had a resource like this at my disposal. I would have avoided many pitfalls and missteps-steps along the way. In fact, this book is a great resource merely by what it tells you NOT to do in your job search.
If you are looking for employment, know someone who is looking, get this book, and follow the step by step approach. You'll spend 30-40 years working, why not invest 30 days to maximize your potential earning power?"
-- David Herninko, San Francisco, CA
"Now, for context sake, Dr. Stephen R. Covey, author, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People wrote: "This book will literally lead you by the hand … A treasure trove of practical, tested ideas." Dr. Covey is right. I've seen a lot of books designed to help in job hunting. GET HIRED NOW! will set any job hunter on a path that helps them to get organized, to think clearly and to spend their job-hunting time wisely and efficiently. The 28-day program is results oriented – it offers strategies, motivational techniques, and simple, great advice. It offers networking strategies, interviewing strategies, and strategies for setting and reaching goals. Remember, it is a program – and the best way for a program to work is to be diligent in following the strategies and the advice. There are worksheets with the book that helps you keep motivated and inspired and again, keeps you on track. I highly recommend this book!"
-- Andrew Hudson, Denver, CO

"Get Hired Now!™ - A 28-Day Program for Landing the Job You Want by C.J. Hayden and Frank Traditi, is a book that could easily fill a valued spot on the shelves of mid-career job seekers, career educators/advisors and career coaches. Young people looking for their first job after college or university may not find the examples reflect their situation, but if followed, the plan and accompanying guidance could certainly accelerate their work search. This book may also be valuable for coaches or counselors outside the career development field who want to incorporate career planning and work search strategies into their work with clients.
Any book on work search beginning with “Finding work is all about people” and ending with “And never forget your most precious resource in finding the job you want-people”, has been written by authors who can be trusted to tell it like it is. The 28-day program, complete with a 'Tracking Worksheet' is a day by day regime, and is contained in the 32 pages that comprise chapter six in Part 1: The System. The lead up chapters outline activities to help focus and refine work search goals, ensuring that the 28-day process will be effective. It's also to the credit of the authors that they don't guarantee that the job seeker will find a job in that time, but the process and the coaching contained in the book will assist them until they do. The bulk of the book is contained in Part 2: The Recipes. This section comprises the guidance and encouragement that makes the 28-day plan workable. Concrete examples are abundant and helpful, and illustrate the advice in the text."

What Our Participants
Are Saying...
"What I found most useful about the GHN program is that
it helps the job seeker identify where they need the most
work and then keeps them focused on one portion of the job
search which will provide the most benefit. The quality of
the output for the job seeker is increased while providing
them the feeling of accomplishment. The 28 day action plan
helps keep you on task so that at the end of the 28 days,
you can look back and see that some valuable work was accomplished,
even if the job search continues.
The most valuable part of the Job Club for me was simply
showing up to the weekly meeting. The sense of camaraderie
among the group helped me feel like I had a true support system
and that I wasn’t going at it alone. Before joining
the Job Club, I was shooting resumes into the dark abyss of
cyberspace and hoping that someone out there would recognize
my value and hire me. With the program, I had a frame work
with which to focus my job search, but without the group,
I would not have had the success I had with it. I truly believe
that the program can only be successful in combination with
a support group.
I would recommend others to the Get Hired NOW! Program.
Looking for a job is a most unpleasant experience, especially
if it is conducted under duress, like mine was. The only way
to survive is to feel like you are getting somewhere every
day toward the goal of landing a job. The GHN program provides
that framework, but you need to find a job club to support
the program. The Career Café and the Get Hired
NOW! Job Club program gave me the strength to continue
looking even after rejections and not hearing back from all
the resumes I have flying about. If not for all of that, I
know that I would have just hunkered down in my shell and
thrown an amazing pity party for myself every day. Driving
to Denver for the Job Club kept me accountable to the groups
and to myself."
