The premise

You are good at your profession.

But no one taught you how to land the job to practice it. We teach that.

Who it is for

This book is not for everyone.It is for you.the burned-out.the new graduate.the laid-off parent.the underpaid pro.

For those tired of trying and ready to win.

For the new graduate no one is calling back.

For the laid-off parent who feels the world turned hostile.

For those who know they can do more, but cannot turn it into offers.

For those who want a job that pays well — and has meaning.

The thesis

The job search is a war

Not a fight — a campaign. There is terrain, timing, invisible enemies (algorithms, ATS, exhausted recruiters). There is discipline. There is craft. Juan Martín wrote it down in twenty chapters that change the way you look for work.

From spy to strategist

Read job descriptions like terrain reconnaissance. Every word counts.

Knowledge is your weapon

What you study, read and practice decides who hires you.

AI lands the offer

Use generative AI as your second brain through the entire pipeline.

What you will learn

A campaign you win, not a search

Four disciplines the book walks through, then practiced inside JXBS.ai.

Chapters 1-5

Know where you stand

How to read your real market, what your experience is worth, and why most candidates apply for the wrong role.

Chapters 6-10

A profile that opens doors

CV, LinkedIn and portfolio that pass human and AI filters. How to write what the recruiter actually wants to read.

Chapters 11-15

The interview as conversation

Structure, trick questions, salary negotiation. The difference between answering and persuading.

Chapters 16-20

Sustain a career

What to do in the first 90 days, how to ask for raises, when to switch, and how to keep control of your trajectory.

Extended index

Twenty chapters, one method

Each chapter ends with a practical exercise. The digital course walks through them on video.

How do I answer "what is your biggest weakness?" in an interview?
Juan Martín · AI
Chapter 13, page 137: skip the canned answers. Pick a real weakness you have worked on, tell the story in three beats (situation → action → learning) and close with proof of progress. Interviewers reward honest maturity.

About the author

Juan Martín Cordero Matovelle

Calm in the middle of the fire.

Talent consultant with over a decade hiring, training and guiding candidates through selection processes. Founder of JXBS.ai. Author of The Art of Getting a Job.

Portrait of Juan Martín Cordero Matovelle
Biography

From the process to the method

Juan Martín Cordero Matovelle is an entrepreneur and a specialist in employability, recruitment and selection. For over twelve years he has worked at the exact point where careers are decided: the assessment table. Across interviews, case studies, filters and negotiations he has watched the same pattern repeat itself: talent does not always win — the candidate who knows how to prove it does.

He is the founder of JXBS.ai, an ecosystem combining learning, guided practice and technology to train candidates with method and turn the job search into a more precise process. He has also partnered with universities to bring training closer to what the market truly demands and shrink the gap between graduating and getting hired.

He was co-founder of Externa Talent Excellence, a talent consulting firm where he supported companies through selection processes and professionals through critical career transitions. That experience — from both sides of the table — anchors the central idea of his work: employability is built.

His approach rests on three pillars: personal clarity, strategy and disciplined execution. Getting hired is not luck; it is preparation — reading the terrain, training the right skills and sustaining the process with strong mindset.

His purpose is to grow employability across Latin America through technology, tools and actionable methods. The Art of Getting a Job is the synthesis of that path: a system to compete better and win.
