The 2-Hour Job Search

Using Technology to Get the Right Job Faster

By: Steve Dalton

Narrated by: Mike Chamberlain

The 2-Hour Job Search shows job seekers how to work smarter (and faster) to secure first interviews. Through a prescriptive approach, Steve Dalton explains how to wade through the Internet's sea of information and create a job search system that relies on mainstream technology such as Excel, Google, LinkedIn, and alumni databases to create a list of target employers, contact them, and then secure an interview - with only two hours of effort. Avoiding vague tips like "leverage your contacts", Dalton tells job hunters exactly what to do and how to do it. This empowering book focuses on the critical middle phase of the job search and helps listeners bring organization to what is all too often an ineffectual and frustrating process.

Critic reviews

"Well argued...the procedures [Dalton] proposes to take advantage of the technological tools available to job seekers are logical and easy to follow." ( Kirkus)

Incredibly practical and actionable

For anyone feeling lost or just wanting to learn more about how to go about a job search. This is for you. It makes the job search formulaic, but also somehow organic.

Why not just read the quick notes?

I belive in summaries. I have the book too. The author has a quick action reminder page, and audio sound like it with very more to offer. I gave it 4 stars, but was really considering only 3 - 3.5 stars because you had just read the summary page of the book you get the same information.

wow, surprised by the insights.

this is an excellent book for any job searcher. he's all about efficiency. there's also a strong emphasis on treating people right and then benefitting from that karma.
