Have you ever wondered how to land the perfect job in 30 days, or quickly improve your prospects at the job you have?
Our book, APP, ZAP, PUMP, PLAY answers these questions by detailing a radical way of thinking that will change lives and put the spark back into any job hunt or career for the thousands of Americans who are thirsting for change.
Technology has undergone major shifts over the generations, and we believe we are at the brink of another pivotal change - the convergence of social media, mobility, and knowledgeable users. APP, ZAP, PUMP, PLAY is the perfect primer at the dawn of this revolution.
The book is user-friendly enough to appeal to the newbie as well as the experienced techie.
A core aspect of today's world is the convergence of mobile technology (through smartphones and apps) and a social media. This has dramatically changed the way individuals; small businesses, and large corporations co-exist and interact.
The four authors of this book - a woman and three men - are highly accomplished and creative businesspeople with the tech know-how to tackle this new paradigm. They are players in the media and entertainment industries as well as tech geeks with much life experience.
As industry veterans, we have been privy to information and surveys about how technology has transformed people's lives, as well as proximity to leaders who have revolutionized the technology landscape with their thinking.
The book's complex yet simplified framework includes four elements- App (looking at the latest applications for smartphones like iPhone and Android); Zap (people or related elements), Pump (matching apps and zaps resulting in a strategy/plan), and Play ( results of the Pump or plan).
I know that you are interested in dynamic books that offer practical advice and "How to" help. APP, ZAP, PUMP, PLAY offers plenty of that and could become the bible for the new millennium.
