You already know that job hunting can be difficult. It can be tough in a good job market. In a bad job market, it can be brutal. You get rejection after rejection. You're constantly faced with the Black Hole of job hunting: You complete applications, post resumes and make contacts, but get no response at all. It can be hard to keep going, and many job hunters have periods of doing far too little - and even slowing down just when they need to speed up. And sometimes it's hard to know what kind of effort to make. Should you make more phone calls? Use more social networking sites? Find more job boards? Make more contacts? A professional career coach could assist you with all of this. However, many job hunters are unemployed and not in a position to hire a coach. A PROVEN SYSTEM But now, there's another solution. Rather than hunker down alone in a home office, you can do your job hunting as part of a Job Search Work Team. Team members do not need to be experts, since they're using a proven system - one that's been successfully used by a 300-office global career services company for over 20 years. Job Search Work Teams have helped thousands of job hunters find great new jobs faster. Team Up! shows you the university research that explains why and how these teams are so successful. And the book tells you exactly what to do to join, start or lead one of these teams. Teams have been shown to shorten job searches by 20%. That could cut a five-month search to four months, and save you a full month's salary. ENDORSED BY EXPERIENCED CAREER PROFESSIONALS Career professionals who have used Job Search Work Teams are enthusiastic about their value for job hunters. On the first two pages of Team Up!, you'll see endorsements from people with a combined total of 200 years experience as professional career coaches. On the back cover of the book, you'll see endorsements from leaders of church, synagogue and nonprofit programs that use these teams. In that kind of program, teams are usually led by the job hunters themselves. The teams have proven successful when led by professional leaders, volunteer workers, or team members. But however they're led, it's important that all team members understand exactly how they work and what to do in meetings to help make every member's search more effective, more comfortable and faster. Team Up! explains the whole thing, step-by-step, telling you exactly how you can start, join or lead one of these teams. JOB SEARCH WORK TEAMS OFFER: *** A comfortable, supportive weekly meeting that's focused on making every team member's job search more effective this week than it was last week. *** Networking assistance, since every member has two dozen eyes and ears on the lookout for job leads and job market information -- not just two. *** An advisory group to answer questions, enumerate options, and provide objective advice. *** A simple progress measurement system that allows job hunters to answer three key questions: (1) "Before you start getting job interviews, how do you know whether you're making progress? (2) How much progress did you make this week? (3) Which of your efforts are producing the progress? TEAM UP! TELLs YOU: +++ How to join an existing Job Search Work Team. +++ How to start your own team if there isn't one near you. +++ How to ensure that every weekly team meeting is safe, comfortable and highly productive for everyone in the room. +++ How to use teams in church, synagogue or community job search assistance programs. +++ How to make your job search more effective - even if you decide not to join a Job Search Work Team. The book is written for career professionals as well as job hunters. It includes a message for career coaches and a complete manual/workbook.

The authoritative resource for finding new work and new purpose after fifty. Whether they’re old enough to have earned their AARP card or not, a new generation of American workers is no longer counting the days until retirement. Instead, they’re seeking greater fulfillment in their personal lives by tackling new—and often much more socially significant—work. Switching careers is a challenge at any age, yet boomers may have more to overcome than their younger counterparts: They must beef up their education or seek out retraining; cope with seismic lifestyle shifts such as less income and a new circle of friends; and reconcile themselves to the fact that even the most rewarding position is no panacea for life’s problems. After decades writing about career issues for publications as diverse as the Chicago Tribune, Family Circle, Workplace Management, and Wired, Sam Greengard brings a wealth of knowledge to this timely topic. He shows how to sort out your feelings about your existing career; successfully transition to a new one; and work toward a greater sense of balance in your daily life. Profiles of those who’ve attained their own goals are included, along with tips, quizzes, worksheets, how-to sidebars, and other practical resources.
