"...Defines over a hundred common barriers to finding a job - then tells how to overcome each one. Millions of seekers face such barriers but few are so exactly categorized or easily analyzed as in this, a survey of how poor choices and mistakes affect a workplace search."--Bookwatch
Millions of individuals face numerous barriers to finding and keeping a job. While a few barriers, such as discrimination, health, or disabilities, may be caused by other people or beyond one's control, most barriers result from red flags individuals create themselves (job hopping, incarceration, termination, limited education, few skills, no experience) as well as the poor choices and mistakes they make.
Recognizing negatives that may be detrimental to the workplace, employers avoid interviewing and hiring individuals whom they perceive as lacking the proper attitudes and behaviors for success in their organizations.
What do successful job seekers with barriers do that separates them from their less successful counterparts? Each day thousands of people encounter physical, mental, emotional, relational, career, and financial barriers that can appear impossible to overcome. Purpose-driven, motivated, and persistent, many of them manage to eliminate or minimize the barriers they face to getting and keeping a job.
Here's the first no-nonsense book to catalog 127 employment barriers that prevent individuals from finding good jobs and advancing their careers. Beginning with an 85-item self-assessment test to determine one's "Employment Barriers I.Q," the book analyzes each barrier and offers sound advice on how to overcome it.
Organized by different types of barriers, the book includes:
- 12 barriers related to skills and work history
- 27 barriers related to attitudes and behaviors
- 8 barriers related to health, wellness, and disabilities
- 80 barriers related to job search knowledge and skills
The lessons here are very clear and encouraging for all job seekers: few barriers are ever insurmountable. You can take charge of your future by eliminating or minimizing your own personal employment barriers. Doing so requires new ways of looking at old issues relating to your attitudes and behaviors, as well as fresh ways of communicating your strengths to employers. With the help of this book, you can put yourself on the road to renewed job and career success.
This book is part of our new Overcoming Barriers to Employment Series. 212 pages. 6 x 9. June 2006.
