As a matter of fact, on an average, it takes three interviews to secure a job, and this process takes between three to six weeks. Only one in six applicants for a job will be invited for an interview. In addition to that, getting invited for an interview is not enough.

Publisher's Summary
Take a successful employee, promote them into management but give them no management training, and there’s a very good chance you’ll create a defensive, insecure, unsuccessful dick of a manager.
Here is the management training you never got! This honest, straightforward guide reveals the things nobody talks about - knowledge that only comes from real-world experience in the management trenches. It will change the way you look at yourself, your job, and your career, and it will enable you to be a successful leader and mentor.
Most importantly, it will help you avoid becoming a dick manager (or, if it’s too late, to reform) so you can enjoy the personal and financial rewards of being a great manager.
Discover the power of the laws of management and understand the personal characteristics you must have to excel as a manager.
Learn how to deal with noncommunicative, mean, micromanaging, bully bosses and how to figure out when it’s time for you to leave an impossible situation.
Find out how to deal with ambitious employees and how to turn around hostile, jaded ones. And be warned about the one type of employee who must go, no matter what.
Filled with anecdotes from more than 20 years of management experience, this book takes a frank look at the author’s mistakes and triumphs, his great bosses and his dick managers, and the lessons learned from all of them.
