Smart Job Search for Smart Job Seekers

Techniques that REALLY work in job search

There are two truths about everything - the way they say it is and the way it really is. Only occasionally are they the same. I'm here to help you without charge - I have nothing to sell.

With over 20 years working one-on-one with job seekers almost everyone gets a job quickly. Now, I'm bringing this knowledge of job search methods to everyone - most people that aren't getting a job simply aren't using the right methods.

Warning - some of the things you'll discover here can make you mad, challenge cherished assumptions, or change your views of management, job search, and even yourself. On the other hand, open minds find these truths empowering, exhilarating, and effective in obtaining quality employment.

If you read nothing else, read Why Employers Hire Who They Hire. It will dramatically change the way you interact with employers. I've had clients that had been looking for work for months who nailed a job after only a 15 minute discussion of this subject.

• Expert information: experience in management and employment counseling.

With more than 20 years experience in management and having hired and fired many and trained many new managers, there is insight few employment counselors have because they have never been in management. Without experiencing the hiring process from the management side, only half the picture is available, so only some of the truths of job search are presented.

• Forums

I know, forums are not new. These forums are dedicated to job search and I answer most posts. Having other people to bounce situations off helps, too.

• I won't ask you for a dime.

There are have other sites that earn the bucks - this is designed to help the real backbone of the American economy; those who need the most help: unemployed or underemployed workers that get paid by the hour.

Of course, if you do want individual help with your job search, it is available through The Employment Coach.
