I’ve been wanting to put this book together for a long time and it’s finally here! I’ve spent so much time and effort teaching people how to do the important and detail-oriented things related to job searching like:  \n- Writing Resumes  \n- Writing Cover Letters  \n- Optimizing Your LinkedIn Profile  \n- Networking & Preparing for Job Interviews  \nAnd I even put all those things together in my signature course, Job Search Institute; however… one REALLY IMPORTANT piece of the job search that I have been neglecting for too long is this:  \nTHE JOB SEARCH STRATEGY!  \nWithout a firm strategy for ourselves, we risk running around like a chicken with our head cut off… having no idea where to go next, why our applications aren’t finding success, being unsure of where to go for help. It also makes it much harder to see what we’ve accomplished so far and to learn from our mistakes.  \nJob searching without a strategy can also be incredibly hard on our mental health. Trust me, I went through a pretty hefty unemployment depression myself when I finished grad school in 2014 and if I only had a strategy like this… things would have been a lot better.  \nThe Purpose of this Book  \nMy friend, our goal here is going to be to build a customized plan for you that will help you to land your ideal next job as well as build a road map for your long-term career goals. We’re also going to do this in a way that ensures you have the help you need and you’re looking after your mental health throughout the process.  \nHow the Book Works  \nThis book is going to be interactive. We have worksheets, we have homework, there are steps you’ll need to take to make this system work for you.  \nREADING THIS BOOK ALONE WILL NOT HELP YOU!  \nIf you don’t complete the worksheets and follow the steps, you’ll be right where you are today…  \nAnd I highly encourage you to complete the activities as they come up in the book. I’ve done that thing where you’re reading a self-help book and an activity comes up and you think,“I’m just going to think about these things and not write them down”, or you think,“I’m going to read this whole book and then I’ll come back and do the activities.”  \nAnd we both know…you don’t go back and do that. Or if you do, you wasted a whole lot of time rereading when you could have been taking action.  \nI promise you that if you complete the activities as you go, you’ll be in much better shape to get the most out of this book and you’ll build the most badass job search strategy possible to set yourself up for short-term and long-term career success!  \nNow… before we get started, I should probably briefly introduce myself so that you’re not taking advice from a stranger  \n Chapter 2: Why this Book Exists   \nThis book is completely designed and written to be about one thing. You! We’re going to be defining your ideal job, building your job search strategy, and setting you up for success throughout your career.  \nTo make sure you are absolutely comfortable doing all this together, I thought it would be a nice idea to give you a little bit of background information on myself and where this system came from… so here goes!  \nMy name is Greg Langstaff (technically its Gregory but only a couple of family members call me that, haha), and Iam from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
