Job Shop: The New Job Search

Los Angeles - Molly Wendell is the author of the books "The New Job Search", "Break All the Rules, Get Connected", and "Get Hired for the Money You're Worth."

In other words, she knows where it's at when it comes to new ways of looking for a job... and getting hired.

Some of the topics on the slate in this Job Shop interview:

• Moving on from a past employer and how it ended to avoid negative sentiments.
• Look for a hiring manager or contact within a company rather than submit for a job online.
• Don't let your resume be a crutch... and don't hands it out nilly-willy.
• Don't wait for a job listing to come up to apply for employment within a company.
• Don't rule out companies that are laying off employees... even though your first inclination might be to do that.
• Focus on the potiential employer's needs and plans for the future rather than yourself in a job interview.
