My How to Get a Job ebook is here! by Alison Green on August 31, 2010 I threatened to do it, and now it’s done: an e-book crammed full of all my thoughts on how to get a job. If you’ve ever wished that you could look into the brain of a hiring manager to find out what you need to do to get hired, this guide is for you. Inside, I give you step-by-step help through every stage of your job search, explaining at each step what a hiring manager is thinking and what they want to see from you. You’ll learn things like: what hiring managers are looking for when they ask common interview questions how to talk about sensitive issues when you interview — firings, bad bosses, “overqualification,” and more how to avoid companies that aren’t a good fit 6 ways you might be sabotaging your job search 2 ways you can turn rejection to your advantage If you put the advice in this guide into action, I think you’ll find your job search goes differently. In fact, read what people have said about the interviewing video and companion guide I released a few weeks ago: Still not sure? I’m offering a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, because I don’t want you to feel any risk. For a very short time, my new e-book is available for 40% off! You can buy it today for $14.95 — but it’ll go up to full price in just two days. Get your copy of How to Get a Job: Secrets of a Hiring Manager now!

Kat* August 31, 2010 at 6:37 pm Hi Alison, I just purchased, downloaded, and read your ebook today and it was the best $14.95 investment in my continuing job search, many thanks!
Anonymous* August 31, 2010 at 6:49 pm Hi, I'm interested in the book, but can you remind me what format you're offering it in and what, if any, DRM you're using? I don't see that info in this post. I want to be sure I can read it once I buy it. Thanks.
Ask a Manager* August 31, 2010 at 7:27 pm Kat, that completely made my day! Yay! (And you know I'm going to have quote you next time I promote the book…) Anonymous, it's a straight PDF with no DRM, and you shouldn't have any issues with it! (And I'll add something to the post clarifying this.)
Anonymous* August 31, 2010 at 7:57 pm I just purchased the book. I will certainly need it since my verbal job offer has apparently been retracted with no notice, reason, or further communication!!
Anonymous* August 31, 2010 at 8:37 pm I wish the offer was good until Friday–that's when I get paid. Anyway, congrats on the ebook!
Ask a Manager* August 31, 2010 at 8:45 pm Maybe I'll extend it. Let me consult with my ebook guru, Ben Eubanks….
Anonymous* August 31, 2010 at 10:13 pm I just bought it. When do I receive the e-book? Does it come to my email?
Ask a Manager* August 31, 2010 at 10:38 pm Yes! You'll get an email within a few minutes that will contain a link for you to download it. (This assumes you paid by credit card or paypal. If you paid by an e-check, it waits for the e-check to clear before it sends.) If you have any trouble at all, email me (askamanager@gmail.com) and I'll make sure it gets taken care of for you.
Ruby* September 1, 2010 at 4:36 am I never buy e-books, even if the topic sounds like it is exactly the information I am looking for. Part of that is my belief that the info in the book is bound to be on the web (free) somewhere else. Alison, I am really pleased to have purchased your new book immediately. I didn't even leave your site "to think about it" or whatever. I have enjoyed reading your blog for over a year; I really thought your Interview info that you distributed for free a couple of weeks ago was great information; and I believe in your skills, credentials, integrity and all that other good stuff. I wish you every success with this book, and will be recommending it to pretty much anyone I know looking for work or a change of position.Thank you!
Ask a Manager* September 1, 2010 at 5:48 am Ruby, what you wrote is EXACTLY how I was hoping (some) people might feel. Thanks for saying this — I am sitting here beaming :)

Ben Eubanks* September 1, 2010 at 1:12 pm If you want a preview of the book, snag the freebie Alison released on How to Interview. That's the best example of what to expect in the eBook!
Ask a Manager* September 1, 2010 at 5:22 pm That's right — the free "how to prepare for an interview" guide that I released a few weeks ago actually IS an excerpt from the book!
