Are you too easy? Job Hunters

Where you one of those guys in high school that always seemed desperate for a date?If so it was probably because you were a real pleaser, An eager beaver? Did it annoy you that the guys who seemed indifferent where the ones the girls where most interested in? You know the Captain of the football team couldn’t brush them off fast enough AND the more he brushed the more they swarmed. Have you ever noticed that passive candidates, those who seem to be the least interested in a particular job – often because they’re already employed – are the most sought after? Is there a lesson to be learned here? Yes. If you’re consistently getting the interview but not the offer it’s probably because you’re too nice. Too easy. Too ready to please. Its kind of like going fishing and the fish jumps in the boat – not much challenge in that. Employers want to be drilled by candidates just as much as they want to drill the candidate themselves. So the next time you go in for an interview prepare questions about the business NOT the job. Be prepared to talk about the future of their industry and what…

Send 1/2 your resume: # 3 of 47 Ways to Find a Job

First, find a company for whom you would like to work. Write a compelling covering letter describing why you are good for them, pointing the receiver to the enclosed CV for further information. Don’t seal the A4 envelope and don’t enclose a CV. They’ll think the CV fell out in the mail.

WAR STORY — Win a Free Pizza

After being laid off, George Brown knew exactly which company he wanted to work for next, but every time he called, Human Resources told him the company wasn’t hiring. So George sprang into action, and another guerrilla job-hunter was born. George printed business cards that were round, slightly larger than normal, and very colorful. On the front was a picture of a pizza with a circle-shaped message: “Win a Free Pizza.” The flip side of the card gave his name, e-mail address, and telephone number along with the promise of a pizza for the first person to get him an interview with a manager in the company. Dressed for an interview, George stationed himself at the entrance of the company and handed out cards to everybody who would take one. He kept this up for a couple of days and became a topic of conversation at the company. One manager figured that anyone who would go to so much effort deserved an interview. One extra-large pizza later, George guerrilla-marketed his way to the job of his dreams at very little expense, and the company is more profitable because of it. Compliments of Shari Miller, Principle of The Elmhurst Group, www.elmhurstgroup.com….

"Sell me this pen"

A friend of mine just came back from a stupid interview. By stupid I mean the interviewer was a man of very little brain and blew his chance to hire Dave. My oh so experienced friend with 20 years experience closing "C" level executives on multi-million dollar deals was confounded by a young pup who had just ascended to his first VP Sales and Marketing role and was rather very proud of himself. The first question he asked Dave wasn’t even a question. He pulled a pen from his pocket and said, "sell me this pen". Now Dave’s a master salesman so he knew how to handle the question, but what would you do? I can tell you what I did! I had to do this with a perspective client early on in my career who was testing my sales abilities; I asked the question, “Do you need a pen?” He said, “Yes”. Great, how much money do you have in your wallet, I asked? Motioning to pass me the money he gave me the $150. I folded it and put it in my pocket – then I told him that wasn’t near enough – but it was a reasonable…
