a Job is a Blessing from God. Need a little free help?

1.
First: Pray constantly until you find the Blessing. Don't kid
yourself. God is the real Provider.
2. Only
25% of jobs are advertised, and that's where all the competition
looks. Approximately 25% are found through the boss and company
staff. 25% are known only to the boss. 25% are not even preplanned by
the boss. (So, where should you be looking?)
3. Visit
the company boss in person, do not call or write. Be sure to dress
for success. Visit at least three businesses per day. Don't stop
until you are hired. See the ones you are most interested in first.
And Never Ever miss an appointment without calling ahead.
4. And
don't ask for a job! What?!
5. Visit
only the boss. “I'm making a study about town businesses, I need
to see Mr. Jones for five minutes....” “Mr. Jones, I need just
five minutes of your time; I'm conducting a quick town study of
selected businesses. I need a little basic information.
Can you give me just five minutes?”
6. “I
have experience as an (office manager, certified
mechanic, etc.)
but here's my first question. (Q1) How would you describe your
current business success or problems in general? Do
you find the current financial climate difficult?”
7.
“As my second question, (Q2) What do you forecast for your business
over the next three to six months? Do you think things will be
improving?”
8.
(Q3)“I am looking for a position with a company like yours, would
you pass on my name to someone who might have a potential need? Can
you recommend anyone to me at this time?” (Notice, you
have not asked him or her for a job....)
9.
Obviously, answer professionally and carefully any questions the boss
may have in turn. He may actually be interested in interviewing
you—because you showed interest in his or her company. (Keep
showing this interest as you answer.)
10.
Leave a resume, saying, “I'd like to leave my resume in the
event any opportunity shows up. Thank you for answering my
questions.” (And make a
very quick visit to check possible references two weeks later.)
Adapt
these questions to your style.
