Over the past few years, senior executive Bob Braham experienced a higher than normal degree of churn in his career at the VP level. Braham began his career at Hewlett Packard, where he worked for eleven years. During this time he became the youngest member to be elected to HP Sales Hall of Fame and was then promoted to a district manager and a regional sales manager. When he experienced his recent career turbulence, each of his job changes was a move up and each of them happened relatively quickly. After others came to him for counseling on their job searches, he decided to publish OMG I Need A Job to share the lessons he learned on his recent, successful job hunts.

In today’s capricious job market, landing a great employment opportunity can seem more than tricky—and even brutal. However, no matter what the current economy may indicate, the chance of becoming gainfully, meaningfully employed is well within your reach. That is, if you have an effective plan in motion. Now, seasoned senior executive Bob Braham draws from decades of experience in both the hiring and job-hunting process to give you the roadmap that will lead to a highly desirable position. OMG I Need A Job: A Practical Guide to Finding a Great Job in Any Economy is ideal for anyone who is searching for a job, from those who have already been in the workforce to recent college graduates who are ready to get working.

Professional and easy-to-read, OMG I Need A Job provides an actionable process to guide prospective employees through all aspects of the job hunt, from finding the right company to making the right impression. Rather than sharing the perspective of human resources professionals, like many job-hunting books do, Braham has written the guide based on his own experiences on the employment battlefield, from the shock of a sudden layoff to his own trial-and-error practices to adopt the most effective strategies for identifying the next opportunity.  The result is a brass tacks, step-by-step resource that guides you through everything you’ll need to know, including getting your story down after being let go; getting organized; learning how to use the Internet as a research tool; figuring out what you really want to do; creating a network; building a resume; acing the interview; and much more.
