I Got The Job! 8 Steps to Get Hired eBook Mark Andersen
A person I trust, with many years experience in my field (and with a much better view of the "big picture") urged me to get Mark Andersen's book. It is not an exaggeration to say that I Got the Job! deserves a significant amount of credit for my receiving an offer last week.The major things this book taught me are:
- My personal "zone": Although I didn't gel with the Don Draper mindset specifically, reading carefully through that chapter made me think of something that did work for me: I'm interviewing the company as much as they're interviewing me. I came up with a list of questions that I genuinely want to know about the company, that will really affect my day-to-day life, and had them at the ready. (Like: What standards do you follow? What tools are people in my position required to use?)
The interview is not an interrogation. They're not talking to you because they want to determine all of your flaws--they WANT to hire you. They want to find a good candidate just as much as you want to find a good job! So interview them!
Coming up with my personal zone was the most important thing that helped me feel confident during the interview.
- Chapter 16, regarding the cover letter and resume, was the most impactful for me. The hardest part starting my job search was figuring out how to tell my unique story in a truthful, yet conducive-to-getting-a-job kind of way. I worked for five years after college, was laid off along with many of my peers, couldn't find work for a few years after that, and ended up being a stay-at-home dad. Over the past three years I've re-trained myself in the latest and greatest, and now my youngest is entering kindergarten.
I decided to use the summary statement at the top of my resume as the primary way of telling my story. The problem was that, in its original form, it was spending more time expressing my enthusiasm for returning to the field, instead of "owning my expertise" and listing off all the things that I've been doing during my past three years of self-training. What started off as almost apologetic, turned out to be an impressive statement of what I am able to handle, all while taking care of two little boys.
Although I obviously cannot point to recent professional experience, my blog and some downloadable resources that I've prepared, now made it easy to point to many specific accomplishments.
- How to research an appropriate salary, by using resources such as glassdoor.com, salary.com, and job boards like dice.com. What is especially important for someone like me, who's been out of the market for so long, is I need to be careful to not give too LOW of a salary requirement, to avoid awkwardness when I do indeed get myself back up to speed.

I simply never would've thought of these things had I not read I Got the Job!, and I'm reasonably certain that I would not have gotten the job.
A great book, and a steal at five dollars for the Kindle version. Highly recommended.

I Got The Job! 8 Steps to Get Hired eBook Mark Andersen Reviews
Full disclosure The author of this book is a good friend of mine. And another disclosure I write for a living (yes, please go look at my books on !), so when friends tell me they've written books and I should go read them, I am a tough critic. The author of this book, Mark Andersen, and I had dinner the other night. We got into a very deep conversation about using LinkedIn to build one's personal brand and advance one's career. I think of myself as a very sophisticated Web 2.0 guy, but Mark's insight and tips when it came to using LinkedIn really blew me away.
At the end of dinner, Mark suggested that I get his book and read the chapter on LinkedIn, and I did. In one sitting, I read most of the rest of the book too, and I was very impressed with the quality of information and the clarity and honesty in Mark's delivery.
Whether you are currently looking for a job or just interested in staying on top of all digital and social media as a way to stay on top of your career, I think you will find this book to be invaluable on your first reading. And I also think it is a book you will find yourself going back to over and over again over time. Yes, I heartily recommend it.
“I Got the Job! 8 Steps to Get Hired in 2013” is a great book to add to your portfolio. Before you need to get a new position, for those wanting to switch jobs, and/or for those wanting to upgrade their LinkedIn game. For those seeking the next great opportunity, Mark uses a conversational approach. You feel as if he’s in the room chatting with you. While the book has “8 Steps” in the title. It’s much more than a checklist. Some of the advice is kind of Zennish (I just created that word), but hey, visualization and anchoring works!
For those looking to make their LinkedIn profile rock star quality (and who doesn’t), make liberal use of bookmarks, perhaps annotating them A through C. Mark Mark’s guidelines appropriately as you reach these portions of the book and do the “A” things (things that are fast, easy, and essential) right away! B’s and C’s are things that may require you to do some background work, but should still be done.
Download, enjoy, and make use of. The book is a worthy investment of your time.
"I Got the Job" is an excellent book if you are just learning how to search for and get a job or if you've done it many times but need a little help honing your skills. I found the discussion in Step 7 to be particularly helpful. I never realized there were so many things to think about before making a job change. The author explains very well all of the visible and hidden things to consider before making the leap into a new job. Also, the strategies for preparing oneself to get a new job, from writing a good cover letter, to resume, to interview were helpful. I have written many of them, and I have prepared for interviews, but I've never thought of preparing as much and in all the ways the author suggests. I believe that using the strategies in this section, and of course the rest of the book, would make an individual likely to land that job that s/he has been dreaming of. Very highly recommend this book; it's money wells spent.
