Getting Hired

Description

The job market isn’t broken, but it has changed. For Gen Z professionals entering the workforce, traditional advice often falls flat. Getting Hired gives you the real-world strategies you need to land your first job in a system that now includes AI resume scans, video interviews, and referral-based hiring.

In this practical and encouraging guide, Scott De Long, Ph.D., breaks down how to navigate today’s hiring landscape. You’ll learn how to market your skills, even if your experience is limited, and how to build a personal brand that gets noticed for the right reasons.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• How to write resumes and cover letters that pass AI screening tools
• What recruiters are really looking for (and how to give it to them)
• Interview strategies for people who hate talking about themselves
• How to overcome the “no experience” dilemma using school, side gigs, or volunteer work
• Where to find job openings that actually match your goals
• Tips for negotiating your first salary, without awkwardness or fear

You’ll also gain confidence in the soft skills that matter most: communication, adaptability, and initiative. Whether you’re applying to your first internship or a full-time role, Getting Hired will help you take control of the process, and get the offer.
