By: Sandra Jobs | Posted: Oct 11, 2010
Jobpreneurship 101 by Jim Villwock is now available as an ebook, and job seekers everywhere have
plenty of questions. If you're ready for some honest answers, then shut down Facebook, close your
door, and get ready to take notes because this article is what you've been searching for.
We're going to look at the most frequently asked questions about Jobpreneurship 101 and how they
impact you. Most of the questions surround the three crucial elements that DEFINE how
Jobpreneurship 101 is different than its competitors. First, we're going to talk about mimicking
successful people. Next, we'll discuss the process of learning the process. Finally, we're going to nish
fi
up by looking at the idea of personal development and the author's reputation. After reading this
article, you'll have enough information to decide whether Jobpreneurship 101 is the guide you need to
finally get the job you deserve.
Can you really get a job by mimicking successful people?
First, there's plenty of power in copying the success of others. If you were flying to Africa for the first
time, would you rather create your own flight plan and hope it worked or put your trust in the people
who already made it there successfully? Too often we try to blaze our own paths, while the true way
to get the job you want is much easier.
Don't insiders have an easier time getting a job than outsiders?
Jobpreneurship 101 advocates practicing what successful people did, so you already know the course
to take. More importantly, you are shown the process that insiders take (since we all know that
insiders have a much bigger advantage that all of us waiting outside). One of the aspects of the book
that I liked was it was written by a hiring manager and endorsed by executives, so the insider path that
is presented has already been tried and approved by people high up on the corporate ladder.
Isn't every job different? Why does it have to be so hard??
A lot of people think that there's no pattern in looking for a job, but the secret is that there are plenty
of tips that speed up the process. With a menu full of specialties and a "have it your way" attitude,
how do you think fast food restaurants can still be so…fast?? They have a plan that they know works,
and they do it over and over for each new order. The same principle applies to your job search.
Why does have a career management process matter?
Jobpreneurship 101 gives you a clear description of the job hunting process so that you can be
prepared for each step along the way. This tried and true process not only makes applying for jobs

2. quicker, but it also makes getting your job quicker. Even better, the book shows you how to apply this
process consistently throughout your career, so that as soon as you get the job you want now, you can
begin moving on to the next job in your future.
Am I going to have to learn new skills?
Personal development is a hot topic on the job front. Would you rather be the grandmother who still
uses a rotary phone, or would you rather be the hip grandma who tweets her adventures and ROFLs
with her dedicated Facebook fans? Just like grandma had to learn a few things to enjoy a complex
21st century life, you will also need to have a few tricks up your sleeve to get the job you want.
Can I really trust what this guy has to say?
There are plenty of scam artists out there, waiting to take your money and leaving you with the
dead-end job (or no job!) that you started with. The good news is that the author, Jim Villwock, has 21
years in high corporate positions and has produced four successful start-up companies, so he knows
what he's talking about. Whether you're a recent grad, a job changer, or a long-time employee, you
can be certain that he's giving tips that aren't stuck in the past. It's also pretty cool that he's supported
by Vistage, the world's largest CEO organization, so he can give you plenty of networking advice to
stay on the cutting edge.
So there you have the three critical elements that set Jobpreneurship 101 apart and make it a required
read for getting the job you deserve. First, you'll learn how to mimic successful people. Second, you'll
get a detailed look at the insider job hunting process. Finally, you'll get advice on personal
development actions that make you an ideal candidate. If you ignore these three required elements,
you are dooming yourself to failure, so put these elements into practice and watch those interviewers
fight for your voicemail space!
