2 Hour Job Search

This guide will walk you through an outline of “The 2 Hour Job Search” process by Steve Dalton, Senior Career Consultant at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, to help you select, prioritize, and contact prospective employers so you can land your critical first interview. While reading the actual book is the best way to follow this process, this guide will give you an overview of the process. The process is designed to be focused and efficient and will only take a total of 2 hours but can be broken into pieces.

"The '2 hours Job search' has totally changed my perspective about how to land a job. I learned the true power of networking. By applying the principles , I have had dozens of information interviews that helped me 1) learn the culture of the companies, 2) understand the challenges entailed in the job I'm looking for, 3) and more importantly, I gained valuable advice from professionals that are now advocating for me because of the trust built during the interview ."
