Job Hunting?

The hardest part about changing jobs
is opening the right door.
Not the door to the personnel office.
You want to open the door
to the guy who can actually say,

"You are hired."

at your very topmost level, what would you do?

Almost nobody does this — except every successful headhunter!

Why your approach to a company is much better served by a letter
to the head man — or woman — than if you send a resumé.
 And what kind of letter. What do you say in the letter?

The personnel clerk would have you believe that you are competing

Sample Chapter

Changing Your Job Smoothly

There are three keys to a smooth job change:

1. Learn all you can about the company before you make your approach.

2. Glorify yourself! At the same time, adjust your mental set
so that you are thinking only of helping the company.

3. Work hard to get a ‘thumbs up’ from that one guy who matters.
    That guy is NEVER in personnel.

Pick out a company that you would maybe like to work with.
Do some heavy RESEARCH into the company.
Read and understand their Annual Reports, their 10-K, their Proxy Statement
and literature, anything you can find on the company.
Search deeply for one, single situation in that company
where you can really, truly be of help.

GLORIFY YOURSELF with enthusiastic, honest comments
about all the good aspects of that unique human being known as you.
Write down only good stuff, nothing negative, nothing self-deprecating.

CONCENTRATE your actions and your thoughts on the one boss
in the one company you are approaching at this moment.
Pretend you are selling a wildly expensive one-of-a-kind Ferrari
to an absolutely unique customer.

You are selling a unique talent to a unique client.
That’s just about what happens, isn’t it? There’s only one of you.
Your fingerprints are yours alone and so is your mind and what you can do with it.
No one else will solve a problem in exactly the same way.
Play up your uniqueness. That’ll zap the competition!
Glorify yourself as an individual!

Cookie factories burp out millions of cookies every day.
But they hire individual people. The cookies look exactly alike,
but the people are all different. One of the secrets of the food business
is uniformity of product, but they want the opposite in the people
who do the work, especially someone like you who thinks while he is working.

At the same time that you are fact-finding and glorifying and concentrating,
remember what it is that you are doing.

The object is to try to impress one individual human with the fact that you can help him.
You want him to know that you understand how you can make a profit for his company.
You want him to believe that you can function more efficiently in that role
than anybody else who happens to be around at the moment.
That guy is your client! You must appeal to his wants and needs!

There are two ways to do that. Two ways to sell yourself.

1. First, there’s the way that everybody thinks of. The freezer meat salesman
doesn’t know or care whether you are an actual prospect,
he just barfs out his memorized sales pitch.
He’s got forty-two reasons why you should buy and buy now
and you’re the fool for not signing up this instant. Ugh! Don’t sell freezer meat.

2. The other side of the equation is simpler, more honest and it works better.
When you get to know me you’ll find that I would have trouble
selling hot stew to a team of slavering sled dogs. I’m a terrible salesman!
But no matter how incompetent a salesman you are,
you can sell almost anything IF you make your stuff so appealing
that your client takes it away from you.
You need not ‘sell’ at all. Position yourself so that the client ‘buys’ you.

This is a major business principle that is almost never mentioned in the
B-Schools. Make your stuff … in this case your own self …
so appealing that the company just buys!

Applying this idea means that you must approach a company
as though it were the only company you are considering.
No mass mailings screaming, “I need a job!” 
You send one letter at a time. You make one phone call at a time.

You can research many companies simultaneously,
but you approach each one differently.
When you read the company’s 10-K you will know more
about the company than 90% of the folks who work there.
Come to the boss with a solid bank of knowledge about his firm,
and the guy will fall in love with your talents.

Bring to the front your knowledge of the company
and your glorious background.
— Oh yeah, use the word ‘resume’ and you’ll doom yourself
to some personnel clerk’s dank tomb.

Set things up so that you are perceived as the guy who can maybe
help solve some problems. Not easy to do.
You cannot fake it, you must do the research.
Present yourself as a guy who knows how to make a profit
for the company and they have no other choice but to buy you!

The results are simply beyond belief!

     track of what you're doing right and what you can do to
     improve your chances of getting a really worthwhile job.
    
     Puts you in control of what is happening to you during
     your job search. Most job changers give up this control
     to the personnel clerks and if they get a good job,
it comes by chance. 
    
     Just about eliminates luck as a factor in your job search.
     If you get lucky that's wonderful, but don't depend on chance.
    
     Tells you how to find out vital information that you
     must know about a company BEFORE you approach it.

     that will surely come your way. Get top dollar!

     the people who wear beards while they work at Gillette
     were clean shaven the day they got hired.
    
     Shows you how to approach a company, not as a job supplicant
     but as someone who has valuable help to offer.
If the company does not respond to this approach,
you wouldn't be happy working with them.
    
     Saves you thousands of dollars.  The study course 

        How To Get
    The Best Job You Ever Had
    
     is only $80 complete in your mailbox. The information it

     It worked. And the 'letters' were expanded and are brought
     up to date each year as the job market changes.
    
     The course is now in its fourth edition. It really helps!
     They only take the picture of the winning horse and only the
     helpful books get reprinted year after year.
    
     The course covers both industrial and service jobs
     and it was even used to help at least one new Post Office
     worker, during a government hiring freeze.
    
     The course gives you ideas that have worked
     at every level of job expertise, all the way up to
     the corporate board room.
