Any Tom, Dick, or Harry Can Get a Job: A Sure Fire Way to Land a Job by Kelly Wibbenmeyer

Preface:

It’s no secret that the economy has taken a turn for the worse leaving millions of Americans without jobs. With the current economic downturn, it’s forced some people to retire early, become jobless or even worse, they have no future job prospects. There are jobs out there and with the market downfall, only the elite few will get a call back and then even a smaller subset will get an offer. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry Can Get a Job presents sure fire ways to make you marketable even in the toughest economy. Along the way, readers will benefit from knowledge gained deep inside the closed doors of HR and managers, learning how to get your foot in the door, what to say once you have your foot in the door and what employers are really interested in once you get in front of them in an interview. The book strips away the media hype about how difficult it is to find a job and with a no nonsense tactic details how to overcome losing a job and prepares the reader how to stand out in all aspects from resume writing to the interviewing process.

About the Book:

In 2008, 2.8 million American’s lost their jobs and the number of unemployed America’s has already doubled in 2009 and the year isn’t over yet. The book I propose, based on my extensive professional experience, would be a job market bible, from resumes to what to wear the day of your interview, aimed and this huge and growing audience. The book would include steps to perfect your resume, get your foot in the employer’s door, and land the perfect job even in tough times. A recent headline in a CNN Money article states that by April 2009 (a meager four months into the New Year) over 2 million people have lost their jobs. By July the number of employed rose to 2.38 million and the US Bureau of Statistics just released this month that unemployment rates have been steady over the past few months. There are also 18.4 million people currently enrolled in college and 3.1 million people will be graduating in 2009. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry Can Get a Job: A Sure Fire Way to Land a Job will speak directly to the unemployed of today. It will be an informative guide which will enhance new time job seekers to make realistic goals and pave a path for job success in years to come. It will also assist people who have been unsuccessful in finding work in this staggering economy in not only finding work but finding a position that is fulfilling and better than the one they were released from.

Author Bio:

Kelly Wibbenmeyer is a successful business woman and has held multiple life fulfilling careers. Fresh out of high school, with two jobs already behind her belt, she joined the US Air Force where she was a financial manager for four years. After her stint in the military and upon completion of her bachelor’s degree in Management Information Systems, Kelly joined a small custom software firm as a Quality Engineer. She traveled around the United States and while acquiring frequent flyer miles, acted as a project manager, quality assurance tester, developer, trainer, and any other role she was needed, including hiring temporary and permanent help to assist in her daily activities. After a few years in the custom software business, Kelly wanted to join the healthcare industry to assist those who needed the most help in the world, children. Kelly took on two positions at the local Children’s hospital in management roles, where she reinvented what it meant to be a stellar employee and trained her employees to not only be accountable for their actions but to take ownership in their processes, which lead to reduced errors and happier employees and customers. During this time, Kelly also achieved her MBA. After working at a children’s hospital, Kelly decided to have some children of her own and then ended up moving closer to family which meant taking yet another position. Kelly worked for another healthcare organization and in two years held two separate positions, a director of registration and a SAP HR/Payroll manager, where she hired over fifty people in one year’s time and again increased employee satisfaction and customer satisfaction over 80% in one year. During this time, Kelly interviewed over 1000 candidates, some being candidates she’ll never forget!

Kelly then moved on to a local power company where she works as a Business Consultant. She has over thirteen years of experience in interviewing, resume writing techniques, and has hired over 100 people. She is a valuable resource in resume writing and has assisted over five hundred people in resume writing techniques.
