My Dog Ate My Resume: I need your help

I need your help

I have found that one of the most valuable characteristics that sets a candidate apart from the competition and gets them hired into the the position they desire, is the ability to follow a process. It might seem trivial to you, but there is a method that can get you into that new job with ease, you just have to follow it.

As a recruiter, I have procedures that I may transmit by email to save myself and my candidates time in getting the opportunity to be presented. I may request phone calls because there is information I need to know quickly or I may need a form to be filled out completely because it answers questions necessary to get a person hired. Also, it gives me a gauge of how well people will follow directions during the interview process and as a new hire representing my firm.

So I am asking anyone that reads this blog to help me by giving me just two minutes of your time. Please take out a sheet of paper and scroll down to complete the following assignment.

Thank you,

Dennis

It should take you 2 minutes or less to complete.

Directions:

1.Read through ALL the directions carefully and completely before you begin.

2.Print your name in the upper left-hand corner of this page.

3.Number the paper from 1-10.

4.Write today's date below your name in the upper left-hand corner.

5.Circle your name and date in the upper left-hand corner.

6.After the date written just below your name, write your birth date.

7.Put an “X” in the upper right-hand corner of this page.

8.Punch a hole with your pencil through the number “8” on your paper.

9.Draw a big smiley face in the middle of this paper.

10. Now that you have read everything through carefully, do only items 1 and 2.

Well, how well did you do? Was it a quick, easy read-through or a lot of useless effort? I'd like to hear your comments and experience of this exercise. Please comment and let me know if you were able to follow directions. Thanks.

Are you prepared to navigate the current job market?

People follow my career advice if they want to get and keep the right job! Whatever they have been doing must not be working or they would have already gotten the job they wanted.

It’s that simple…you are doing something to repel potential employers and that keeps them from hiring you. The reason I tell you exactly what needs to be done is because in the hiring environment, employers will never give you a clue about why you've been eliminated. So you will continue to make the same mistakes and get the same results…unless you accept some tough love advice and let me guide you in making the little changes that get you noticed and hired.

Once candidates realize what they are saying and doing that results in rejection, and change that pattern, they will achieve all they want quickly and easily. If you want real change and are willing to put in a little effort and follow my advice, you can beat the odds of any economy, overcome any setback or banish any perceived weakness.

With 15 years of experience finding, coaching and placing candidates for all sorts of jobs, I don’t sugar coat the facts. I know how hiring managers make decisions and how you and your resume can meet their expectations. When it comes to what you need to do for success I speak very directly, which means I get right to the point and save you time and money. My job is to get you to your goal of getting and keeping the right job.

Many people are stuck with no work, no prospects and in no position to know what they want or would enjoy. With the stress that comes with being unemployed- financial hardship, family pressures, loss of status- people find themselves in a not so positive a state.

I believe that everyone is employable, if they want to be, it just requires the know-how and confidence I can give you. It can be as simple as a few corrections to your career communication to get into rapport with the people who making hiring decisions. Since people tend to like and favor people who are like them, you will find that your career opportunities improve dramatically when you use my tips to connect during every encounter with a potential employer. You may be offered jobs when you haven't yet applied.

My program of CORE Career Communication is divided into four important areas. I focus on Verbal, Non-Verbal, Internal and External Communication. Everything you say to yourself and whatever you say to others in a resume, phone call, email, or interview is the difference between you or someone else getting hired.

First, I give you a set of incredibly powerful tools. Then I provide you the straightforward knowledge of what is needed to succeed and a basic common sense approach to creating your best career communication. Through direct "smarkiness" and humorous stories, I illustrate what mistakes hiring professionals see from candidates on a daily basis. With these stories I show people what to do, how to improve and how to develop a smooth, successful approach. With my simple but comprehensive system, you can become your most presentable self in all situations and get that job!
