¿3 Easy Steps¿¿ is your own jobsearch ¿personal trainer¿
‘3 Easy Steps…’ is your own jobsearch ‘personal trainer’. One of the publisher’s best sellers, it has been translated into many languages and has helped thousands of people to find a new career direction, and to get a new job. It can help you to get the job you want.

You’ll identify what makes you special, set your own career and life goals and learn techniques to help you succeed in your jobsearch.

To bring the new edition completely up to date, I have added sections on how to start a new career as an interim manager or self-employed consultant, how to start off on the right foot in your new job and three new sections on using the Internet in your jobsearch.

‘3 Easy steps…’ also contains advice from; Monster – the leading Internet recruitment site, TMP Worldwide Executive Resourcing, - one of the world’s largest recruitment firms, HM Forces Resettlement Service, and from two leading firms of occupational psychologists, ASE and SHL. Between them these two companies provide help with assessment and selection of candidates, to over 6000 organisations.

It is often a major "life-event" like redundancy, divorce or leaving university that triggers people into thinking about what they want to get out of life. But it doesn't have to be. All that's needed is the determination that you want the best out of life. Life isn't a rehearsal. To get the best out of life, you need to take control of your own destiny. ‘3 Easy steps’ will help you to do it.

Prior to writing the ‘3 Easy steps…’ I was UK Head of Personnel for a blue-chip organisation and have taught Human Resource Strategies at Masters level. In "3 Easy steps" I've blown the whistle on many techniques that are used by recruiters, so that you can use them in your jobsearch.

The book contains everything you'll need to help you get the job you want: from personality profiling and career-life balance exercises, to practical tips on how to write a CV and letters of application and how to make a presentation and use the Internet. Learn how to access the unadvertised job market and how to succeed in recruitment interviews.

By owning this book you’ll also become a member of our worldwide Internet community, dedicated to helping you to plan your career and find the right job...

It gives me a tremendous buzz, when I hear from people who have used the techniques in my book to land a job. Take Peter for instance, a Manager who had been unemployed for a year. Peter had applied for hundreds of jobs, without success. After using one technique from ‘3 Easy steps…’ he landed a job within a week. Or Heather, a school leaver who followed the advice in ‘3 Easy steps…’ and got the first job she applied for, as a trainee Veterinary Nurse. John had been unhappy in his job in management, for over a decade. He was ‘liberated’ by redundancy and used the techniques, to take some easy steps into a job as a college lecturer.

Buying ‘3 Easy steps…’ may be the best investment you’ll make in your life. Most people spend more money on one holiday, than they’ll spend in the whole of their lives, on self-development. Most people spend more time choosing a new car, than they do planning what they want to do with the rest of their lives.

The advice and techniques in ‘3 Easy steps…’ work. Add a copy to your shopping cart and invest in yourself. You’re worth it!

Absolute essentials for getting the Job you want
Wherever you are currently in your career, Malcolm Hornby's latest release of his book on career tactics is a revelation.

How many times have we struggled with our natural bashfulness to state our strengths? Malcolm's Brag Box helps put into perspective all the achievements and accomplishments we've had in our lives. And not only those gained at work.

There's great advice on understanding ourselves - what makes us tick. And that self-knowledge is great when selecting which opportunities will challenge, enable and empower us, (and which are a must to avoid.)

The section on e-searching is an essential for today's managers and professionals; and there are tips and hints on how to make the best of technology - and the not-so-obvious traps.

So, whether you are a career mover, a promotion seeker or have just received the blow of redundancy, simply follow Malcolm's three steps to success.
