THE WORKSCAPE HAS CHANGED. HAVE YOU?The workscape has changed--one of the most dramatic transformations of the past few years. Think about it. For so many people just starting their careers, working virtually is all they know. For everyone else who has had the remote option, work is no longer synonymous with a physical location. In this push-pull world, that means navigating and negotiating between the flexibility and opportunity you want--and the commitment and performance that organizations need. In other words, you need to take control.Whether you're focused on getting your next job or you are striving to get ahead where you are, this is the book to guide your career path. In the first section, you'll understand how you're wired--your A.C.T. (being authentic, making a connection, and giving others a taste of you who are you), tapping your right brain, and learning as the secret to sustainable success. In the second section, you'll figure out how to get the job--and get ahead, from targeting your next opportunity to nailing the interview. And in the third section, you'll master working with others--from the 4 Career Knockout Punches, to getting along with your boss and workers, navigating culture, and communicating and connecting.In Take Control, you'll discover how you can have the career you've always wanted.

The how-to guide for your careerIn his previous book, Lose the Resume, Land the Job, author Gary Burnison exposed the myths and the ineffective thinking around how to land the job you really want. Now, in Advance, he takes readers through the next stage--advancing in their careers.Advance is extremely timely and topical in today's do-it-yourself career development world. Average job tenure has fallen to about four years on average and often only one or two years for younger professionals. These "career nomads" simply aren't around long enough to access career development from their employers. On the other end of the workplace spectrum, many employees find themselves stuck in one job without a promotion, without any raise to speak of, and with no opportunities to learn and grow.In Advance, Burnison lays out a mosaic of "how-to" advice that applies every day and at every level--the skills and behaviors that help people navigate their careers and stand out among the crowd. He takes on a "Top 20" of career must-haves: managing for the first time, engaging in the "money conversation" with your boss, dealing with difficult bosses (without quitting), coping with coworkers (without losing your mind), making presentations (that don't put people to sleep), mastering digital communication (and avoiding emails that will get you fired), thinking globally (without leaving your office), taking an overseas assignment, meeting senior leaders for the first time (without putting your foot in your mouth), navigating political waters (without sinking your career), reading and fitting in with the culture, and more.* Wisdom on taking your career to the next level* Career development tips* Guidance on being seen and heard* Written by the CEO of one of the world's largest management consulting firmsWhether you're just starting your career, high up on the ladder, or "stuck" anywhere in between, Advance gives you the know-how to get on a path to where you want to go.

Far too many people are stuck in a nowhere position, in the wrong environment, working for a boss they hate. Worse yet, they're clueless about how to land a better job. Not knowing what to do, they resort to the old standby: their resume. People assume their resume accounts for 90 percent of getting a new job. The truth is, though, it's maybe 10 percent! They don't know what it really takes, and they have nowhere to turn. Lose the Resume, Land the Job serves up the kind of straight talk that no one--not your spouse, partner, friend, mentor or anyone else--will tell you. It will show you how to: Know yourself Target opportunities Network like it's a contact sport Showcase your "ACT" (Being authentic, making a connection, and giving others a taste of what it's like to work with you.) If this sounds like what you're missing, you're in luck. In these pages, you'll find all you need to get a clue--and become more empowered as you lose the resume and land the job. www.losetheresume.com
