Free (yup, free) Job Hunting Workbooks

Answered Prayer - Free Workbooks for You

Free workbooks, eh? Yes, after lots of prayer about what to do with www.jobhunterstoolkit.com, I believe the next direction is to give away for free - no 'strings' - the workbooks I have developed.

Dozens of proven exercises and easy to use lessons to help job hunters and the counselors who work with them... FREE!  I begin the next step with giving away to anyone who requests one a copy of Job Hunting Tool Kit I (first volume) with 12 exercises to get started.

Your Next Step

Take a moment and write to me at jobhunterstoolkit@gmail.com with "I" (only that letter) in the title.

I will then send you a free copy of that first edition.  I will also plan to send you the second edition in a few weeks.  FREE.  In that email I will mention the HERO Method Fund, a way I am saving up to help my wife meet one of her goals as thanks for helping me with the work I have been doing helping people meet their challenges in finding a job.  You are under no obligations to help with the Fund.

Please tell your friends - its FREE

Share the news and let us help hundreds - thousands of people around the world!!

Which brings me to the Race

As the blog prepares to complete its first year, we have people around the world who have been enjoying the work here.  People from Moscow to Mexico City, Syracuse, NY to the Phillipines and the Yukon Territories have been learning and laughing with the articles here.

As the year ends August 20th, let's see which city and country comes in first.  Contact the folks in your hometown and see if they can help your city come in first!

Thanks for your time, folks... enjoy the day and remember to email me at jobhunterstoolkit@gmail.com!

Back and Better!

Yes, the Blog is back!

After a lot of prayer about direction, I will be posting excerpts from my books regularly on this blog - free of charge or hoop-la.

Selling the Sizzle In the Job Hunt

Sizzle and other senses 

In sales, or job hunting, you always sell the sizzle instead of (or along with) the steak.  What does that mean anyway?

Version One:
“Mirage” Hickey sits impatiently while people hover around her, smearing acrylates copolymers, salicylic acid, octyl propenamide copolymers and alpha hydoxyl acids on her face while others aim a machine that blows scalding hot air at her head. She then walks to her job where strangers shout and grab at her legs and hands.

Version Two:
Beautiful Mariah Carey gets the royal treatment of top makeup artists and their colorful wares, while stylists prepare her soft hair for the roaring crowds at her latest sell-out concert.

I am describing the same reality, Mariah getting prepared for a concert, but one is the nitty gritty (the steak) and the other is the excitement you can related to (the sizzle).

In describing your experience and skills, make certain to talk of the sizzle using words they can relate to and paint a word picture of how their life will be easier with you as an employee:
** the customers will be happier ** work will get done without worry
** you will be reliable and fun to work alongside
** the employer's boss will be impressed he hired such a gem.

You can see how this goes- - you are sold on the future all the time. Burgerworld does not focus on telling you how cows are raised for their burgers, instead telling you how great they taste and how you will love them once you give them a try. Even buying fiber (that tastes like cardboard) is good because it will make your body trimmer and sexier. How do you sell your sizzle?

Making It Work:
Return to your commercial and description of skills. Do you emphasize how you will do a great job and make your employer's life better?

Think of examples how your brains, heart and courage will help you do your job to make the customers better; the company reach its objectives and employer's life easier. You have to see this future before you can describe it and have the employer see it.

Use as many sensory images and as many specific examples as you can in your applications and resumes but make sure there is 'meat' to back up what you are saying.  

Making Sense

Sense for the Job Hunt

One of the great challenges in a job hunt is maintaining perspective and refueling your spirit every so often to keep your energy up.  For this, I recommend using the real sense approach.

Anyone who has been unemployed or underemployed for a length of time appreciates how it can drain your spirit.  Life becomes a bit more lonesome as you face the repeated "no" from employers and the even worse nagging of the bills as they sit on your kitchen table.  So how do you keep your spirits up?  The fun part is you already know how, I am just directing you to how to find it.

Get out a piece of paper and write on it each of your five senses:

Seeing; Smelling; Touching; Hearing and Tasting

On a scale of 1 to 10, ten being your favorite write down your favorite sight, smell, etc.  If you could have your favorite sound playing, what would it be?  The sound or rain?  Soft jazz music?  You get the idea.  Write down YOUR favorites, ones that make you feel most centered and most at peace.  

Take a few more moments and write down your favorites for each of your five senses.

Further down the scale

Now think of something that is further down the scale, ones that are good, but not quite a ten.  Maybe a six or seven on the scale of what your favorites are for each sense.  You may say that spaghetti and meatballs is a ten while hot dogs and baked beans is a seven.

Take a few moments and write down each of these for each of the five senses.

Now you have your "roadmap".  When the trail of your job hunt gets rough and doubts creep into your thoughts, take a moment to recharge your spirits.  Settle back into as peaceful a place as you can in your circumstances and try to enjoy one or more of your tens.  If you cannot afford your tens, enjoy a couple of sevens.  

Current technology can give you different sounds or sights in your computer for example.  With some concentration on your part, you will see that even in the midst of other things facing you, you can still enjoy something that is special to you.

Doesn't that just make sense?
