Job Hunting Reinvented

Job seekers nor employers trust the hiring process. Resumes, cover letters, and interview responses may more reflect the candidate's willingness to dissemble and/or spend money on a hired gun than on the candidate's competence to do the job. And everyone gets good references but in too many cases, the accolades are inflated.

Even though many employers don't trust that standard hiring process, they still use it. But job seekers that truly would be excellent in their target job can offer themselves up in a way that will be more compelling. I describe that approach in my PsychologyToday.com article today.
