One of the chapters we think most job seekers would find most beneficial is on the invisible (or hidden) job market. I always knew that some jobs got filled before being publicly advertised but I was shocked to learn that 80% jobs are not publicly advertised. The jobs that are not made public are what we call the invisible or hidden job market.  Unfair, I hear you say. We agree. And it is even worse than that - of the remaining 20%, hiring managers may already have someone in mind before they are advertised.At this stage you are probably wondering when we would talk about resumes and cover letters. After all, this is supposed to be a career book. The chapter on resumes and cover letters gets to the point and shows you how to customize your resumes and cover letters to achieve maximum impact.In the 'ace the interview' chapter we show you a powerful technique to prepare and answer interview questions. The recommended STAR approach provides a framework that is both logical and easy to follow.Now that you have aced multiple interviews and received multiple job offers, how do you choose between jobs? How do you negotiate a fair salary? We have you fully covered here as well. You will learn about how to use the ZOPA (zone of possible agreement) and the reservation point to help you obtain the great salary you deserve.Your family, employer and the world are waiting to see the best of you and we know you aspire to the same as well. Therefore, unlike most career books we want you to reach beyond obtaining a job to mastering your job. We aptly conclude the book with a roadmap on how to master your job.We believe in you and think you should become a master at your job, no matter what it is. Your chances of fulfilling your dreams will increase and the world would be a much better place.

    We're in the midst of a purpose revolution. Customers, employees, and investors are making it clear that they want companies to do more than provide good products, good prospects, and good profits - they want companies to do some social good too. Ironically, as this extremely timely book demonstrates, purpose-driven companies do better on nearly every traditional metric: greater customer loyalty, higher retention, more innovation, and a healthier bottom line.  
     
    But how do you become a purpose-driven company? Just crafting an inspiring new mission statement and starting a CSR program won't cut it, says John Izzo, who predicted the purpose revolution in his 1994 book Awakening Corporate Soul. Purpose must pervade every part of your organization. In this thoroughly researched hands-on guide, Izzo and Jeff Vanderwielen provide a tool kit for deeply embedding purpose into your leadership and organizational culture.  
     
    Using scores of real-world examples and practical exercises, Izzo and Vanderwielen help leaders find a truly authentic purpose, one that is a natural fit for them and their organization. They describe concrete actions leaders can take to ensure that employees own it, customers and recruits connect with it, and every corporate action and activity reflects it. They show leaders how to avoid common pitfalls on the path to purpose and how to use purpose to guide all their decision making.  
     
    In an increasingly crowded economic landscape, purpose gives you a powerful competitive advantage. But it does more than that. Finding and communicating an inspiring purpose will revitalize the entire organization, top to bottom. Purpose makes business more rewarding in every sense.

    Leading in the Digital World -...

    Certain ideas about business leadership are held to be timeless, and certain characteristics of leaders—often including a square jaw, a deep voice, and extroversion—are said to be universal. In Leading in the Digital World, Amit Mukherjee argues that since digital technologies are changing everything else, how could they not change leadership ideologies and styles? As more people worldwide participate equally in business, those assumptions of a leader's ideal profile have become irrelevant. 
    Drawing on a global survey of 700 mid-tier to senior executives and interviews with C-level executives from around the world, Mukherjee explains how digital technologies are already reshaping organizations and work and what this means for leaders. For example, globally dispersed businesses can't reserve key leadership roles for people from exclusive groups; leadership must become inclusive, or fail. Leaders must learn to collaborate in a multipolar world of networked organizations, working with co-located and non-co-located colleagues. Leaders must lead for creativity rather than productivity. Focusing on practice, Mukherjee outlines goals and strategies, warns against unthinking assumptions, and explains how leaders can identify the mindsets, behaviors, and actions they need to pursue.
