Secrets of the Hidden Job Market: Change Your Thinking to Get the Job of Your Dreams is a no-nonsense guide to getting hired. Chapters cover how to avoid the traps inherent in the traditional system of networking ("Executive recruiters are not in business to get you hired. Never forget you are there for the recruiter's benefit; they are not there for yours."), the crucial importance of properly preparing a resume ("The design of your resume is irrelevant; the only things that matter are what your resume says and how Mr. Bigg feels as he reads it."), the importance of maintaining a positive outlook ("Like everything else, your belief about your age becomes your experience. When you stop believing your age is a problem in your getting hired, it will cease to be one.") and much more.
Written in plain terms for readers of all backgrounds, Secrets of the Hidden Job Market is a go-to guide for making a good impression and successfully competing for opportunities.

You're not "filling an opening;" you're solving a company's problem. When you look at job seeking in this manner, everything you are currently doing changes and so does your success. With Secrets of the Hidden Job Market, Janet White will revolutionize the way look for your next job. She gives you the inside scoop on recruiters, want ads, human resources, headhunters, employment agencies, resume services, and more.
Do you have a job objective you can write in six words or less? Should your resume be written from the employer's perspective? Do you think you are never too old to have the job of your dreams? Do you believe you have the experience for your dream job? Should your cover letter be written like a sales letter? Do you know whether you should accept a beverage from the interviewer? If so, do you know why?
Should you avoid discussing your current or past compensation during the interview? Is your follow-up call about the employer? Should the interviewer do most of the talking during the interview? Have you done the research and have a list of companies you WANT to work for? Janet points you to the correct answers. Unless you responded 'yes' to all of these questions, this book should be on your desk.
When you want something badly enough and believe it's already yours, the impossible becomes possible. Janet explains the difference between being a traditional job seeker and a contrarian. There are a few things you need to remember: 1) the Universe will give you whatever you focus on, 2) know what you want and believe it is already yours., 3) decide what you want to do and take the proper actions to allow it to come to you and 4) do your homework.
If you are serious about finding the position you want with the company you have chosen, Secrets of the Hidden Job Market is the book for you. If you prefer to go about job hunting in the same old way, with the same tired results, purchase a copy of this book for your best friend. They can loan it to you after they get the job of your dreams.
Cathy Yanda for Reader Views
Publishers of job search and career related books send me lots of samples for possible subject matter for my column. All of them are appreciated, most of them are very relevant and important, and some of them I wish I wrote.
Such is the case with Secrets of the Hidden Job Market, by Janet White, and published by You’re Hired! Enterprises of Plano, Texas. If you’ve read “Getting Hired” for any of the past 16 years, you know that I preach, over and over again, that you should “do what others fail to do.”
In Janet White’s book, the third chapter is titled “The Traditional System: The Way It’s Supposed To Work,” and there’s a quotation by Albert Einstein: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”
This new book challenges assumptions and beliefs inherent in the traditional system of job hunting and shows how the very techniques that are supposed to work for job seekers actually work against them, making their job searches unnecessarily difficult, complicated and frustrating.
I strongly recommend that you buy this new book right away. Why? Because Janet White says practically everything I believe in and include in my weekly column – and, that’s being very objective!
You can purchase Janet White’s Secrets of the Hidden Job Market at www.jobmarketsecrets.com or www.amazon.com.
And, remember that your job search is the most important, and possibly the most difficult, job you’ll ever have. Do what others fail to do. Do it right.

Looking for work -- whether you're a job-seeker or a freelancer -- is often a soul-numbing, disempowering experience, especially when you're following the rules laid out by Monster.com, headhunters and HR departments.
But with Janet White as your wise, straight-talking ally, you'll discover how to break all the traditional rules, stay in your power, and end up with the fabulous job you want and deserve.
No matter what you perceive as your "disadvantage" -- experience level, age, education or any other barrier -- you can be hired for a great job, and Secrets of the Hidden Job Market explains how in clear, practical language.

This book‘s approach to job hunting is revolutionary, taking on the traditional means of looking for a job, but Janet documents her points of view with either her own experiences or the experiences of others. I especially liked that Janet doesn't "talk down" to the reader, on the contrary, I found quite uplifting.
I highly recommend Secrets of the Hidden Job Market: Change Your Thinking to Get the Job of Your Dreams to anyone who is on the job market or is thinking of changing jobs or directions in what he/she wants to do professionally in life. It's an excellent addition to anyone's personal library of self-help books.

Secrets of the Hidden Job Market takes a very in-depth look at 'higher consciousness' job hunting. It is timely and a beautiful marriage between metaphysics and management. Janet has captured the truth in a simple and eloquent manner. It just makes good sense and feels right too. Thank you, Janet.

After you spoke at Unity, I read your book. One part jumped out - that it isn't about me. It is about filling a need. That changed my attitude completely. I could go on and on about all the STUFF that was in my head causing me anxiety. I let go of all that STUFF and began to feel joy.
To make a long story short, the next job I applied for I was hired. I will begin teaching 2nd grade, 15 minutes from my house, January 2. It is a perfect situation for me and my family. Thanks a lot.
