Authors Note

A job search can be exciting or extremely frustrating. During a search that is expected to take several months or longer, it will undoubtedly be both.

If you recently lost your job, we can empathize with your situation. We’ve both been there, done that, and expect to encounter it again in our careers.

If you’re about to complete your college education, you’re very much focused on finding your first job. This includes weaving your college work and part-time employment into a cohesive package to present to prospective employers.

This book covers the essentials of job searching. It is a perfect guide to developing all the elements of your search and making just the right impression with your resume, LinkedIn profile, cover letter, and interview.

Jim Wilson is a freelance writer, communicator, and blogger with extensive experience in publishing and communications. In 2013, he began the blog PathForeWord at www.PathForeWord.com on career development and job search topics. He published his advice and career insight later that year with Job Search Essentials, followed by an updated Job Search Essentials 2.0 in 2014.

In 2015, my daughter, Brooke DePue, began working as a university career information specialist. She worked with students daily on resumes, conducted monthly resume workshops, coached students and alumni, and interacted with employers at job fairs and other events. As a result, she has become an expert on the job search process, particularly resumes and LinkedIn.

Given that background, we’ve combined our efforts and insight to develop this edition of Job Search Essentials, now version 3.0. It is focused exclusively on helping you build the tools you’ll need to find your next career adventure.

We hope you’ll find this book valuable on your PathForeWord.
