Cupertino, CA (PRWeb.com) December 5, 2009 – Author and executive coach Jean Cummings knows what works when it comes to conducting a successful job search. It’s through networking. It’s how 80% of people get their jobs. Even with a branded executive resume and cover letter, her clients often used job search strategies with a low probability of success. These tactics included contacting recruiters, watching online job boards, and calling contacts.

In her new book, “Turbocharged Networking for $100k+ Jobs 5 Steps To Job-Search Success,“ Cummings offers these expert tips:

1. How to identify companies to work for.
2. Effectively research organizations to quickly identify the most important information.
3. Develop a unique value proposition.
4. Gain access to the right hiring managers.
5. Conduct effective in-person meetings with key contacts.

The eBook is to help executive job searchers with a brief, cut-to-the-chase guide to learn how to use advanced networking skills to get a job. Networking has come a long way. It means more than just letting people know about the search. Advanced networking involves leveraging the Internet to involve new people in a job search and taking a proactive, strategic networking approach to getting a job.

The best resume and cover letter in the world are not enough to secure a job. Getting your marketing materials into the hands of the right people and landing a face-to-face meeting are key to getting an offer.

“No one likes to feel a lack of control over their lives. For a senior executive who is looking for a job it’s especially challenging. You are accustomed to exercising significant authority. The traditional methods of looking for a job can feel particularly passive. That’s why I’ve focused on the active things you can do right now to land a high income job,” said Cummings.

Job searches are much more complicated than ever before. With practical tactics used for her clients, Cummings helps job seekers be competitive in an increasingly crowded field of applicants who apply for executive, managers and professional positions in technology.
