Why 80% of open positions are never advertised anywhere (it's called the "Hidden Job Market") and what you can do to unlock this market... How to create an iron-clad Unique Value Proposition that lines up to perfection with the deep requirements of the hiring team... Why attempting to beat the job boards, Applicant Tracking Systems, and auto-rejections is the worst use of a busy professional's time (and what to do instead)... Why crafting a "Value Letter" is far more important than spending time on your resume, CV, cover letter, or LinkedIn profile... ...and much more. James is renowned for his ability to distill complex topics into simple action steps. The Reverse Job Search Method will reshape what you think is possible for your career and will give you the tools and strategies you need to get the success you desire in weeks, not years.

Despite the rapid creation of jobs in the greater Atlanta region, poverty in the city itself remains surprisingly high, and Atlanta's economic boom has yet to play a significant role in narrowing the gap between the suburban rich and the city poor. This book investigates the key factors underlying this paradox. The authors show that the legacy of past residential segregation as well as the more recent phenomenon of urban sprawl both work against inner city blacks. Many remain concentrated near traditional black neighborhoods south of the city center and face prohibitive commuting distances now that jobs have migrated to outlying northern suburbs. The book also presents some promising signs. Few whites still hold overt negative stereotypes of blacks, and both whites and blacks would prefer to live in more integrated neighborhoods. The emergence of a dynamic, black middle class and the success of many black-owned businesses in the area also give the authors reason to hope that racial inequality will not remain entrenched in a city where so much else has changed.
