Highly Effective Networking

Meet the Right People and Get a Great Job

By: Orville Pierson

Virtually all job hunting experts agree that networking is the best way to find a great job. But most people don't have connections to the decision makers who do the hiring. And "networking" books, which are mostly written by and for salespeople, suggest aggressive tactics, often confusing these with real networking. They focus on building a powerful network over the course of a lifetime. But when you need a new job, you don't have time to build a huge, powerful network. You've got to use the network you already have. Orville Pierson, a top expert in job hunting, tells you how to succeed by effectively using your current circle of contacts. He cuts through the myths and misunderstandings to show you how millions of job hunters have networked their way to great new jobs. Highly Effective Networking empowers you to: Use a small network to reach dozens of insiders and decision makers. Get the right message to the right people, even if you have never met them. Create a project plan to organize your networking efforts. Speak effectively and comfortably with your networking contacts. Talk to decision makers before the job opening is announced. Networking in job hunting is different than other networking. You don't have to hobnob with the rich and famous. There's no need for aggressive sales tactics. You just need to understand how real networking fits into your job search, and then be systematic about doing it.

Team Up! Find a Better Job Faster with a Job Search Work Team

The Proven Program Used by 300 Career Coaches and Thousands of Job Hunters at the World's Leading Career Company. Studies Document Effectiveness. Team Members Found Jobs 20% Faster.

By: Orville Pierson

You already know that job hunting can be difficult. It can be tough in a good job market. In a bad job market, it can be brutal. You get rejection after rejection. You're constantly faced with the Black Hole of job hunting: You complete applications, post resumes and make contacts, but get no response at all. It can be hard to keep going, and many job hunters have periods of doing far too little - and even slowing down just when they need to speed up. And sometimes it's hard to know what kind of effort to make. Should you make more phone calls? Use more social networking sites? Find more job boards? Make more contacts? A professional career coach could assist you with all of this. However, many job hunters are unemployed and not in a position to hire a coach. A PROVEN SYSTEM But now, there's another solution. Rather than hunker down alone in a home office, you can do your job hunting as part of a Job Search Work Team. Team members do not need to be experts, since they're using a proven system - one that's been successfully used by a 300-office global career services company for over 20 years. Job Search Work Teams have helped thousands of job hunters find great new jobs faster. Team Up! shows you the university research that explains why and how these teams are so successful. And the book tells you exactly what to do to join, start or lead one of these teams. Teams have been shown to shorten job searches by 20%. That could cut a five-month search to four months, and save you a full month's salary. ENDORSED BY EXPERIENCED CAREER PROFESSIONALS Career professionals who have used Job Search Work Teams are enthusiastic about their value for job hunters. On the first two pages of Team Up!, you'll see endorsements from people with a combined total of 200 years experience as professional career coaches. On the back cover of the book, you'll see endorsements from leaders of church, synagogue and nonprofit programs that use these teams. In that kind of program, teams are usually led by the job hunters themselves. The teams have proven successful when led by professional leaders, volunteer workers, or team members. But however they're led, it's important that all team members understand exactly how they work and what to do in meetings to help make every member's search more effective, more comfortable and faster. Team Up! explains the whole thing, step-by-step, telling you exactly how you can start, join or lead one of these teams. JOB SEARCH WORK TEAMS OFFER: *** A comfortable, supportive weekly meeting that's focused on making every team member's job search more effective this week than it was last week. *** Networking assistance, since every member has two dozen eyes and ears on the lookout for job leads and job market information -- not just two. *** An advisory group to answer questions, enumerate options, and provide objective advice. *** A simple progress measurement system that allows job hunters to answer three key questions: (1) "Before you start getting job interviews, how do you know whether you're making progress? (2) How much progress did you make this week? (3) Which of your efforts are producing the progress? TEAM UP! TELLs YOU: +++ How to join an existing Job Search Work Team. +++ How to start your own team if there isn't one near you. +++ How to ensure that every weekly team meeting is safe, comfortable and highly productive for everyone in the room. +++ How to use teams in church, synagogue or community job search assistance programs. +++ How to make your job search more effective - even if you decide not to join a Job Search Work Team. The book is written for career professionals as well as job hunters. It includes a message for career coaches and a complete manual/workbook. It is not available as an e-book because it is in 8 1/2 by 11 inch format and includes numerous full- and two-page graphics that cannot be viewed on those device

Justice Deferred

Race and the Supreme Court

By: Orville Vernon Burton,Armand Derfner

In the first comprehensive accounting of the U.S. Supreme CourtÕs race-related jurisprudence, a distinguished historian and renowned civil rights lawyer scrutinize a legacy too often blighted by racial injustice. The Supreme Court is usually seen as protector of our liberties: it ended segregation, was a guarantor of fair trials, and safeguarded free speech and the vote. But this narrative derives mostly from a short period, from the 1930s to the early 1970s. Before then, the Court spent a century largely ignoring or suppressing basic rights, while the fifty years since 1970 have witnessed a mostly accelerating retreat from racial justice. From the Cherokee Trail of Tears to Brown v. Board of Education to the dismantling of the Voting Rights Act, historian Orville Vernon Burton and civil rights lawyer Armand Derfner shine a powerful light on the CourtÕs race recordÑa legacy at times uplifting, but more often distressing and sometimes disgraceful. For nearly a century, the Court ensured that the nineteenth-century Reconstruction amendments would not truly free and enfranchise African Americans. And the twenty-first century has seen a steady erosion of commitments to enforcing hard-won rights. Justice Deferred is the first book that comprehensively charts the CourtÕs race jurisprudence. Addressing nearly two hundred cases involving AmericaÕs racial minorities, the authors probe the parties involved, the justicesÕ reasoning, and the impact of individual rulings. We learn of heroes such as Thurgood Marshall; villains, including Roger Taney; and enigmas like Oliver Wendell Holmes and Hugo Black. Much of the fragility of civil rights in America is due to the Supreme Court, but as this sweeping history also reminds us, the justices still have the power to make good on the countryÕs promise of equal rights for all.

In My Father's House Are Many Mansions

Family and Community in Edgefield, South Carolina

By: Orville Vernon Burton

Burton traces the evolution of Edgefield County from the antebellum period through Reconstruction and beyond. From amassed information on every household in this large rural community, he tests the many generalizations about southern black and white families of this period and finds that they were strikingly similar. Wealth, rather than race or class, was the main factor that influenced family structure, and the matriarchal family was but a myth.
