How this apply to the search for a job?

According to Cohen, many of the rules in the rules work well for job hunters. Example: rule no. 7, do not accept a date for Saturday night after Wednesday. In other words, don't make yourself available at the last minute. Many prospectors took to the telephone at 11: 30 am and got a hiring manager who says, "we realize we have time to see you, can come to this afternoon?" Especially today, most desperate candidates are prone to say, "Yes! My calendar is open! " Wrong answer, says Cohen. "You must create the attractiveness and desirability," explains. "Do appear to be slightly not available."
Don't lie, he advises. But mid-morning people most have some sense of how they are going to spend the afternoon. Stick to your plan and tell the potential employer that you can meet the next day. "All of a sudden, if you say that you can come, you compromise, you're giving something," says Cohen. Instead, he suggests, "just say, ' I wish I was free this afternoon, but I can't. Can I move my schedule for tomorrow or the next day; How does that sound to you? ' " In this way you are offering an option but still giving the impression that you're busy and in demand.
What about rule no. 2, "don't talk before"? Cohen suggested a modified version of this directive. If you sit down for a job interview and an awkward silence ensues, consider saying something like, "it's nice to be here, thank you so much for spending time with me," he says. It is important to appear socially skilled, while at the same time allowing the interviewer set the conversational tone. "You don't want to say or do something that could stand in the wrong light," says Cohen. If you allow the interviewer to take the initiative in your conversation, he adds, "you demonstrate that you are prepared to run for him."
Even in the current hiring grim atmosphere, it is important to show employers that you have many options, that you are busy and desirable. But what if you have exhausted the edges of on-line job postings, companies and recruiters in your field and come up empty? Choose a company that you want to work for then touch all your networks from LinkedIn to your college alumni association, to find a way. Study of corporate culture; Learn about the area in which you want to work; forge relationships with people inside. "It is just like dating," says Cohen. "You can't establish the rules before you're even in the game".
Unlike The rules, Cohen says applied job search rules for males and females in equal measure. Example: a client of Cohen was looking for a job as a portfolio manager at hedge fund. He was in talks with three different funds. What I wanted it to work for at least urged him to accept an offer. Cohen helped his client to understand how slow things with the employer anxious. The client calls the other companies and said: "things are heating up for me now." Meanwhile, said the hot trot was excited about the offer, but needed to tie a few other loose ends. Cohen says, "sometimes it makes sense to delete a suitor, because it is not fair."
