Secrets of the Job Hunt

Career Advice Podcasts & Job Seeker Network

Who just got married, turned 28 and published her first book? That's right, Ivanka Trump. The daughter with better hair than Mr. Apprentice himself has pumped out selective insights on her priveleged life and some tips as well. It's a catchy title, albeit a little trite: The Trump Card: Playing to Win in Work and Life. She isn't the first to dole out advice like this, but given WHO she is, maybe this is worth a second glance to see her perspective.

The Toronto Star's book review quotes her as saying, "Once I was on that show, I got a tremendous amount of mail from young men and women my age, as well as from the parents of children in my generation, all wanting to know how my brothers and I wound up so successful, so motivated. I know the common pattern is for children to rebel against their parents and their professions, but we were totally the opposite."

Granted the hand she was dealt was comparable to a Royal Flush, she doesn't SEEM to take it entirely for granted. She's a much better role model that say Paris Hilton. Here is some of what Ivanka wants to tell us how to do:

• Use uncertainty to your advantage: thrive in any environment
• Step up and get noticed at work: focus and efficiency will open doors
• Create a strong and consistent identity: your name and reputation are your best assets
• Know what you want: get the most out of any negotiation

You go girl!
