Down and out in the new economy: how people find (or don't find) work today
Description
Today, if you want to have a shot at a good job, you need to have a robust profile on LinkedIn. And an enticing personal brand. Or something like that, contemporary how-to books tend to offer contradictory advice. But they agree on one thing: in today's economy, you can't just be an employee looking to get hired, you have to market yourself as a business, one that can help another business achieve its goals. That's a radical transformation in how we think about work and employment, says Ilana Gershon. And with "Down and Out in the New Economy", she digs deep into that change and what it means, not just for job seekers, but for businesses and our very culture. In telling her story, Gershon covers all parts of the employment spectrum: she interviews hiring managers about how they assess candidates, attends personal branding seminars, talks with managers at companies around the United States to suss out regional differences, like how Silicon Valley firms look askance at the lengthier employment tenures of applicants from the Midwest. And she finds that not everything has changed, though the technological trappings may be glitzier, in a lot of cases, who you know remains more important than what you know. Rich in the voices of people deeply involved with all parts of the employment process, "Down and Out in the New Economy" offers a snapshot of the quest for work today, and a pointed analysis of its larger meaning.
