How to find a good job fast:

1. Open your address book, hand written and/or computer.

2.  Make a list of those who know you well enough they know what you do.

3.  Write a script, call me if you want help, that says "I've decided to go in a new direction.

4.  Get your friends, you'll know who they are after you do this, to open their address book.

5.  Get one name and number at a time, asking for spelling, how do you know them, etc.

6.  Get as many names as possible, you'll be surprised how many some are willing to give.

7.  Once you have the first referal, write a script. Again, call me if you want help.

8.  Call, don't talk with screeners, only person on the list. Don't leave messages.

9.  When your next boss comes on the phone say, "(your friend) suggested I call you."

10. Immediately close "(Your friend) thought I could be helpful to you." GET APPOINTMENT.

THIS WORKS EVERY TIME IT HAS EVER BEEN TRIED. JUST DO IT! PLENTY OF JOBS! Make the list, make the first call, get the appointment. When? Now! Or call me for help on writing the scripts, doing a practice call or two, AFTER YOU MAKE THE LIST. (303)861-1447

Want to get hired as employee or consultant?

When most people decide to get a new job, what do the do?

They do what most say to do, start working on their resume.

I don't think the resume makes much difference for people who really want to go to work now. 

What does make a difference? 

Phone calls to network (real network, people who know you and your work, not idiots who swap business cards) get referral, call, meet, close. Goes fast for those who really want to go to work, and without that real desire to go to work now, as a consultant, employee, a spouse, or best friend, nothing is going to happen no matter how perfect the resume or career path or industry and company knowledge, or any of the mind numbing distractions that hold us back.
