3 Questions with Steve Dalton,

author of the The 2-Hour Job Search: Using Technology to Get the Right Job Faster (Random House)

By: Maxine Todd

I meet with MBA students daily about the importance of a job search strategy. After reading this book several years ago, I found that the system Steve developed in harnessing one’s motivation and TSH (time spent hunting) resonates today just as it did when this book first came out. Applying for a job online and willing it to work has an abysmal success rate. Steve’s simple and practical approach to job hunting helps you to effectively target companies you want to work for, and uses the secret sauce of referral, and how to get “IT” . I am excited to hear that the second edition of Steve Dalton’s book The 2-Hour Job Search: Using Technology to Get the Right Job Faster (Random House, Spring 2020) is coming soon!

I had a chance to connect with this very busy author/career consultant to see what the future holds for job seekers and what to expect in the second edition.

5 Tips for Using Social Media to

Stand Out as an MBA Student

These days, it’s pretty much a given that your social media presence matters. It matters when you’re applying to a school or making your way through rounds of interviews for your dream job—even when you’re trying your hand at the online dating game.

It also matters once you're on the job, or in the program. If you have an online presence, anybody with Wi-Fi and your last name is only a few keystrokes away from a virtual treasure trove of information about you. What they find can leave a lasting impression. Read more
