I have worked in creative and technology environments for the past 20+ years and in Recruiting within these environments for the past five years.

Yet it still amazes me when I am surprised by an article or a book that indicates either tricks, tips or techniques used either by those looking for a job or for those hiring for a job.

This is why I have to recommend Cynthia Shapiro’s book called “What does somebody have to do to get a job around here?” And yes that is the actual title – though not all of it.

This isn’t a secret manual telling you all about what mischief lurks in the minds of those that interview new potential employees. Instead I found it gave the reader insight and understanding as to how both sides compete in achieving the same purpose. And that is “finding the right fit”.

Please do pick up this book and let me know your thoughts on it. If you have any other article or book recommendations for our Readers, please drop me a note when you have a moment.
