Guerrilla Marketing for Job Hunters 3.0: How to Stand Out from the Crowd and Tap Into the Hidden Job Market using Social Media and 999 other Tactics Today [ペーパーバック]

Let me start off by saying, "This book changed my life!"

Here's my story:
On March 7, I lost my job as a National Sales Manager. My husband is a stay-at-home dad, so our stakes were greater than most. The following day I began applying for positions on career builders, linked in, Monster. I even paid to have my resume posted on The ladders. (which was a total waste of money) Every morning began the same, 7 a.m. I began applying, 7 p.m. I sent my last for the day. Not knowing any better, I was working with an extremely long 4 page resume, even at 30 years of age.

On June 9th I found out that I had been passed over for a regional Sales Management role, a role that I didn't want for any other reason except for the pay check. Devastated, I went to my local library to hide my shame and look for answers. Up until this point, I had been on 4 interviews in 3 months. The calls just weren't coming in like they had in the past. It was during that very trip to the library that I stumbled upon the 1st version of Job hunters. After reading the reviews online, I decided to spend the $13.17 to buy the updated Guerrilla Marketing for Job hunters 3.0 e-book on Amazon.

Determined not to waste any time, I began reading. By Sunday, 36 hours later, I had read the book and begun the process. I felt the urgency, the clock was ticking, day & night. I followed the book step by step, reading and re-reading, like a mad-woman on a mission. By Monday, June 13, 2011 I had written my Guerrilla resume, updated my extended resume, (For content purposes only) created my cover letter and posted my resume. I spent the following week networking and completing profile after profile. It wasn't until the week after, June 27-July 1st that the calls from potential employers started coming in. Let me tell you, I was ear-to-ear smiles, from the moment I woke up until the time I fell asleep. I was doing something that was making a difference, and it felt GREAT! I knew it wasn't "If" anymore, it was just a matter of "when". 19 days from the first time I laid eyes on the job hunters bible, I had 3-4 interviews a day scheduled for over a week out.

On June 29th my #1 company, of my Top 10 (You'll learn what this is in the book) called me for an interview. They were so anxious and happy to have finally found me that they scheduled the 1st & 2nd interview at the same time, and they were both scheduled for that very same week!! Long Story short, I'm proud to report that on Tuesday, July 20th I concluded my job search with a bidding war in my favor. I happily accepted the position of Director, National Sales for an increase of $30,000 a year and a starting date of August 1st.

My success wouldn't have been possible without David Perry, Kevin Donlin and the Guerrilla Marketing team. My only regret is that I didn't find the book sooner.

Their book gave me the tools to change my future. I hope you have the same success!

And only this book. Any time i see an overwhelming number of five star reviews I check out what other material the reviewers have reviewed. In this case there are an awful lot of people who have only read this book. Guerrilla marketing, indeed.

Although this book may benefit people is sales and advertising etc, the majority of advice supplied by the authors is NOT suitable for professional engineers, accountants, lawyers etc.

There is something imbecile about sending coffee cups and boxes along with pamphlet-like resumes full of logos to potential employers. Maybe one has to be able to differentiate oneself from the crowd, but I certainly do not want to look like an idiot among sheep.
