Tell me more about The 2-Hour Job Search

Online job postings have fundamentally changed how people search for a job. Hiring managers increasingly rely on referrals to avoid reviewing hundreds of resumes per posting. However, job seekers crave the perceived efficiency that an online jobsite offers, pouring countless hours into an inherently ineffective approach.

Instead of providing laundry lists of “tips” which readers must trial-and-error through, The 2-Hour Job Search offers step-by-step, time-limited instructions for the most frustrating part of finding work — getting a first interview.

What if I have questions or need help with some other aspect of my job search or career transition?

Contact Debra Franke, Assistant Director of Alumni Career Programs at franke@lasalle.edu or 215-991-3582.
