"Knock 'Em Dead" and Climb The Ladder of Success With This New Book

By Megan Weyrauch on May 13, 2015

College lets you develop a way of life, an intricate pattern with responsibilities and decisions, and then suddenly, that life is over and the world is intently staring at you, waiting for your next intelligent move.

So, what’s your game plan?

It is very possible (and I would go so far as to say it’s almost guaranteed) that a majority of college graduates aren’t sure what to do next. We feel prepared as we are handed our diplomas (or fake diplomas, in some cases) and celebrate on graduation day, but when the smoke and mirrors fade, what then? What will you do when you wake up the next day and you’re no longer a student?

Hopefully, you will “Knock ‘em Dead.”

According to a recent press release, though unemployment is down and entry-level job openings are up for graduates, competition for all jobs remains high and a fast start is critical to launching a successful career. And to do this, we need proven strategies that will get our foot on the ladder of success now.

And never fear, for when there is a will, there’s a way. New York Times bestselling author Martin Yate shares his cutting-edge approaches to job search and career management in his new book, “Knock ‘em Dead 2015: The Ultimate Job Search Guide,” giving fresh grads and professionals at all levels a firm grasp of practical job search tactics critical for an effective job search.

The 31st annual edition of this job search phenomenon, Yate offers strategies for long-term career success with an approach continually refined over these past three decades, using his rare ability to translate long-term strategy into practical action for today’s long-term career success.

One of the foremost experts in the field of job search and career management and acknowledged as the father of the new career management, Yates uses his down-to-earth, friendly and witty style to address the latest tricks for resumes, networking, job search and turning job interviews into job offers.

“Knock ‘em Dead 2015″ will teach you, according to the release, how:

*Alumni associations can play a pivotal role in a successful professional life

*Internships have become the new “first jobs”

*Successful, fulfilled lives are built on common sense and practicality, not “following your bliss”

*Resumes must be built to perform in today’s marketplace

*To maximize social networks to quadruple interviews

*To turn those job interviews into job offers

*To negotiate the best salary

In addition to the Knock ‘em Dead series, Yates has written 16 other books on almost every conceivable aspect of job search and career management. Published collectively in 62 languages, his work has helped millions of people achieve success and millions more turn their careers and their lives around.
