Avoid 17 Mistakes and Win the Job
by Ron and Caryl Krannich, Ph.Ds
It's the often-heard lament of disillusioned job seekers who lack the
will to go on with their frustrating job search - "No one will hire me!"
Misunderstanding job market realities, job seekers make numerous
mistakes that frequently result in self-fulfilling prophecies. Two of
America's leading career experts identify 17 key mistakes job seekers
make, from failing to articulate goals and knowing one's worth to
improperly using Internet resources, looking for jobs in the wrong
places, and prematurely accepting a job offer.
Each chapter identifies a major mistake and then offers analyses, self-
tests, exercises, and resources for avoiding the error in the future. The
perfect job search guide for everyone, from students, job changers,
and displaced executives to ex-offenders and transitioning military

by Ron and Caryl Krannich, Ph.Ds
How to Put Red Flags Behind You to Win the Job
by Ron and Caryl Krannich, Ph.Ds
You must do well in the job interview to get job offer. But what should
you say and do if you have red flags in your background – you’re a job
hopper, lack focus, been incarcerated, experienced drug and alcohol
problems, got fired, dropped out of school, received poor grades, lack
experience, or appear over-qualified? Can you convince the
prospective employer that you should be hired despite your red flags?
Since employers want to make smart hiring decisions, they look for
reasons not to hire you. Above all, they want to know the truth about
you.
So how do you plan to tell the truth about your background and when?
Here’s the book that finally sheds light on this critical issue for millions
of individuals who have difficult but promising backgrounds.
Examining the whole interview process, from preparation to close, it
gives special attention to nine important red flags employers often
interpret as job knock-outs.
Stressing the importance of preparation, the authors show how to best
handle each of these potential red flags by offering useful strategies
along with sample red flag questions and answers.
Whatever you do, make sure you speak the language of employers
who are looking for truthfulness, character, and value in candidates.
With the help of this unique book, you can quickly learn to turn your red
flags into green lights for renewed job and career success!
