YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE EXCEPT UNEMPLOTMENT

Cast off the yoke of old, wornout methods of job seeking and join the grow ranks of your fellow campers who have successfully returned to the world of work!

OVER 3,000 NEW JOBS… FRESH FROM THE REAL EMPLOYERS!

Page 2: MS. THURSDAY NIGHT SPECIAL

We recently surveyed all of the job searching advise available to you and found that 90% of all the advice, suggestions and/or tips start by assuming that you are a Corporate Room Warrior, an Educator, maybe, the Iron Chef or were written ten years ago and are so far removed from your current need for good advice that it was down-right scary and now we understood why so many entry-level (re-entry) workers were unemployed. Most job advice that we found was merely a repackaging of the same stuff that was that they have pumped out for years to prepare you to work in an executive gig with a large corporation. Are you looking for an executive position? We thought not. You need a job…better yet, you want a job and we are here to warn you that much of the career advice out there

will hurt you; it will cost you many opportunities and will keep you unemployed long beyond what you needed to be because the methodology of acquiring an entry or re-entry level job requires a much different path than a corporate gig. While “Dress for Success” and a killer resume are magical, mystical beasts of the ancient, corporate world that may still level mountains or soften the heart of even the coldest-hearted HR Director, the same methods will prevent you for getting hired in a real world job interview. In the real world of this job market, wearing a suit and taking that killer resume to an interview will create confusion as to what position(s) you are applying for and cast negative assumptions in regards to your suitability for or your ability to do non-management work. In the real world you do not wear a three-piece suit to Home Depot to apply for a non-management position. If you do, you will be long remembered as the brunt of the management’s jokes regarding how you didn’t understand their industry or didn’t understand the job – so in that way, you did impress them…we guess?

WHERE TO START? Well, this insert is not for you if you are a Corporate or Board Room Warrior as that 90% of stuff of stuff we found out there on the internet still works (more or less) for you although (even) that advise is getting long in tooth and needs to be updated or revised. If you are a high-end and skilled person this guide is not for you as this book is designed to help real people who need a real job. This insert is to help people who are re-entering the job market for any number of reasons. The real problem that we found is that the vast majority of the advice and tips do not work for these real people because it is designed for educated and skilled people seeking high-end corporate and/or skilled professional jobs. These job seekers live in a very different job market that the job

seekers that we are trying to help. It is a different process with very different rules of operation and more traditional methodology because the hiring process is controlled by a conservative and older generation of hiring managers. Understand that there is Google and some forward thinking companies but, the hiring practices in this high-end of the market has never moved much further than dress for success (From IBM’s coded standard of a shiny blue suits, with white shirts and skinny black ties) and “Killer Resumes” that can magically open any door or that will soften the heart of even the most foul hiring manager without the applicant needing to do anything other than send that resume and show up in your blue suit.. For the vast majority of people that utilize the Used Job Shack this is…how can I be nice? Well Campers! This is not Kansas Anymore TITO (Michael Jackson’s brother?) But, seriously, most of our readers read and believe the urban legends (that are presented to them as the way to do successful get a job) because no one has ever stood up and said that this does not make sense or doesn’t work for real people needing a real job. We have tried hard (here at the Used Job Shack) to break our readers free

Page 4: MS. THURSDAY NIGHT SPECIAL

of worn out job searching techniques, urban legends and just bad advice that actually prevented them (8 out of 10 job applications) from going to getting a job(s) that they were more than qualified for but, didn’t get because their job search was an assemblage of these worn out tips and urban employment myths. Sadly, all year, we see that people who didn’t need, who could not or should not have used that one size fits all resume as their main marketing tool.

NOT NEED A RESUME? OH MY GOD! WHAT A HERESY! (A heresy is a noun meaning, 'any opinions or doctrines at variance with the official or orthodox position) To the traditionalists, the job seeking workshop and training merchants and/or to the gurus who peddle thread-worn techniques or recycle advice designed for high-end professionals because they didn’t understand or were too lazy to find out what the low-end, entry level of real people jobs were all about; yes, we seem like the Anti-Christ! What this guide will try to do is show you why their way didn’t help you go to work and will explain why it won’t help you going forward. The advice that we give is tailor-made to the audience that we serve and if you are not in any

of these groups then, this ain’t your job search program either! We know that the job market at the end of the market that we work in has drastically, dynamically and radically morphed into a new process that has a new set of rules and that needs new approaches for you to successfully get a job. This is why we are here and this is the role that we play and so far, we have a very good track record. Everything that we have learned, that we have taught or that we have developed over the past twenty years about job seeking went out the window like yesterday’s trash. In the past year as a way to deal with all of the changes, we had to re-invent the way we did business, we had to questioning and start rejecting many of the still accepted norms taught by the big dogs in the workforce industry. The bottom line will always be if it works for our consumer and as long as it does we will live on the cutting edge of rejecting “killer,” “one-size-fits-all” and in some cases, question if a resume doesn’t do more harm than good to many of our consumers because they truly still believe in the mythology (that workforce teaches them) of it’s magical, mystical powers to create job seeking wonders and they will use it as such – and in their

Page 5: MS. THURSDAY NIGHT SPECIAL

inexperienced hands it will become a secret, weapon of mass destruction of their job seeking opportunities. This inset is not a final work, but rather, is a work in progress and a means of starting off the New Year with some new ideas or suggestions that will actually help you go to work. – ADO! =================================== From the desk of Walt U. Thinkimeant Ph.D. LOOKING FOR JOBS IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES…

THE SEVEN NEW JOB SEEKING RULES! Dr. Thinkimeant is a world leading authority in the seeking employment in the current job market and is well known and respected down at the local Unemployment Office. The current labor market is a mine field of bad advice; outdated information and a sea full people who are willing to share their own formula on how to get a job. At the library, you will find 5000 book on the perfect resume. Can they all be right?

Is your Uncle Herman’s advice solid and worth following even though he has been on disability since 1972? Is your dad’s advice on “…getting off your duff, putting on your walking shoes and start knocking on doors!” a good suggestion? Actually, you dad has it partially right but, for all the wrong reasons. He thinks you need to be more pro-active, to get out there and meet people and to make the process of getting a job, your number one priority. That part of what your dad said is correct and right on the mark. When people come to see me about getting a job, I can quick determine how successful or how difficult their job search will be; by asking a short series of direct question(s) that involve the whys, the where’s and the how’s of the actual search that they have already done. If a person tells me that they are serious about work but, (when pressed to go beyond the pat answer of “a lot!”) have only a few companies that they have applied for, don’t remember what the requirements were for the jobs they applied for, that they did an online application with no further follow up; and if the answers that they gave me fills up less than a page, there is very little that I can do to help them.

Page 6: MS. THURSDAY NIGHT SPECIAL

RULE # ONE (The Right Attitude): You need to be dead serious about getting a job. You need to have total committed to doing everything that you need to do, spending ever how long you need to achieve success. If you are not, then, you will never do any of these things and you will have an extremely hard time finding work. You need to care about yourself and be doing this for yourself. If you are not willing to give yourself a 1000% commitment, then, how can you expect anyone else to do more?

RULE # TWO (URBAN MYTH 1): I need a resume to apply for jobs and I since I don’t have one, then I can’t start looking for work! OK…Who told you that you need a resume? Depending upon what type of job, what industry you are applying for will determine if you even need a resume. In some industries, applying for certain kind of (entry level) jobs, a resume (or worse yet…a good resume) is a kiss of death. Don’t believe that? Then, you have bought into one of the biggest urban myths that there is. Remember, a resume does not hire you; a person hires you after they meet with you and are impressed by your knowledge of the job, your

knowledge about their company and (after) you have demonstrated your commitment to getting that job.

RULE # THREE (URBAN MYTH 2): I don’t need to custom make a new application for each job because that is a lot of work and/or I have a very good resume already. The reality is that eight out of ten applications (made by people with a killer resumes) never showed the required skills that the employer needed.

Why is this? Each of those eight people decided that it was too much of an effort to custom design their application to show the employer that they did have the required skills. Or worse yet, they felt that the employer would be able to dig through their resume/application to discover all of those skills. The one excuse that I love is “Don’t you know that is what a _____ does?” The real world answer to that is “NO.” The key to remember here is that all that an employer knows about you is what you put on the application. The employer does not know you; you are not their cousin and they will not have the time to find out about all the skills and abilities that you left out of your application or your one-size-fits-all resume. The other problem with

Page 7: MS. THURSDAY NIGHT SPECIAL

that one-size-fit-all resume is that you believe in its magical powers to open any door, soften any employer’s heart and get you any job; so you send it out to over 400 companies. Sending out massive amounts of generic applications that are wrong (one-size-fits-all) or that doesn’t match what the company was hiring for is the surest way to turn your job search into a failed mission…a disaster that could result in your shutting yourself off from future consideration of getting hired. Remember once the incorrect information is out there you can’t take it back. Sadly now you have 400 places that you can’t apply at in the future.

THE SEVEN NEW JOB SEEKING RULES! Part Two In part one we talked about some things that eight out of ten job seekers get wrong. As I said it is a mine field with ancient believes and notions that linger on even though the labor (job seeking) market has drastically changed in the past year or so. Much of the misinformation comes from it being out of date or that the person who is giving you the secrets of success have not been out looking for work in the year or so. Don’t blame them but, do not trust your employment future on what they tell you. We talked about the myth of the one-size-fits-all, killer resume and that its once might power to move heaven and earth to get you a job has waned to the point that it costs eight out of ten people a job. This myth was always over stated and promoted by people who usually made

Page 8: MS. THURSDAY NIGHT SPECIAL

a living at making them or from people who spent a fortune in purchasing one. As the old man said, “you can’t ride a dead horse into town and the one-size-fits-all resume can’t get you hired anymore. OK! If you are the Iron Chef or some corporate type…yea…you still need this mighty beast…as it still welds magical powers in boardrooms across the world. But, then again, if you are reading this then we can assume you ain’t a corporate warrior. Most entry level jobs require an application and many times these are filled out after you have been interviewed and/or hired. Here a resume is a loss leader and can (if you have a killer resume) work against you to the point of you not getting a job. In many occupations a killer resume leads to comment like “you are over qualified for this job”…”you wouldn’t like this job!”…or the worse “…and you applied for this job why?” This is due to the snob factor and/or the related issue of the intimidation factor. If your killer resume is better than the person interviewing you has or worse yet, the person interviewing you doesn’t have a resume; you are not connecting on the peer level and more importantly, it just cost you that job.

RULE # FOUR WITH MANY LARGE COMPANIES… It is important that you know that for the first two levels of review, a real person does not see your application because the company’s computer system scans your application. The computer converts what you write into a number score from 0-100 and that will determine if a live person sees your killer resume/application or not. I can tell the computer that I have ten years of experience in customer service but the computer does not understand what I just said. It is not programmed to understand. It is programmed to seek out key words and/or phrases. Every time, it sees one of these words you get one point. From here it is simple math. Did your application, resume have 100 key words? If not, this may be why you are not getting called to interviews. If you do not understand this process then, you will have a hard time getting selected regards of your level of real skill or experience. The other part of Rule # 4 is the misconceptions and assumptions that you have when a position does not require any experience, you assume that it does not matter what you submit to the employer. The reality is that just because you do not need

Page 9: MS. THURSDAY NIGHT SPECIAL

actual work experience does not mean that the employer is not expecting that you have the skills and abilities necessary to do the job. The cashier job at COSTCO does not require any experience but when we tear about their job description we come up with 58 key words or phrases that they are looking for. If you did not know this and/or you didn’t know what they were looking for, you would miss it by a mile and it would be just another hour spent doing an application without success. Wasted time and energy and the worse part is that you were super qualified for that job if you would have known what they were looking for. In fact, only 19 of the things that they were looking for had to do with money handling. Customer Service related skills accounted for 24 items. Think about that for a moment. If you didn’t know that your customer service skill set trumped your money handling skills you would have missed the mark. Then think about the fact that everything you have ever done required these 24 customer service items. RIGHT? Now, see how far you are over 100 points if you merely incorporate these 24 key words and/or phrases into each of your job description(s)? Does this start to make sense? If it does

and you invest the time to put together a correct application, you will be able to get pass the computer gatekeeper at any of these companies. The real question is where can I find these key words and phrases? In the case of COSTCO, they have a very well written job description that gives you enough detail to allow you to do RULE # 4. Most times with most companies, this is not true and you cannot use what they give you to get pass the gatekeeper. This is where your BFFs in the US. Department of Labor has come to your rescue. They have done a very detail analysis of every job in America and have created for you a four-to-six page job description that breaks down all the different skills and abilities while including enough key words or phrases to be able to successfully use RULE # 4. This magical, mystical creation by Uncle Sam, will truly lay waste to the computer gatekeeper and allow you to sail by to an interview with a real person if you take your time and do it correctly. This mystical website is known as ONET ONLINE. Failure to use this system will result in failure to get called for interview, lead to disappointment, continued unemployment or settle for a lesser paying, just another dead-end job. http://www.onetonline.org/ From the desk of Walt U.

LOOKING FOR JOBS IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES…

THE SEVEN NEW JOB SEEKING RULES! PART THREE

RULE # FIVE: Research…Do your homework: This is one of the most critical rules on the list and in some ways it is almost as critical (or more) than Rule # 4. Employers are (especially on entry level jobs) looking for availability, then skills and most importantly, they are looking for your motivation in wanting this particular job and/or working for this company. Employers understand that serious applicants make dependable employees and are always looking to find them. In this process, they have stumbled across the prefect screening question that will allow them at the onset of the interview to determine your suitability for employment. The question in itself is innocent and used asked before the applicant believes that they are being

interviewed. The question is “What do you know about my company?” You answer will tell the employer everything they need to know about you and lets them shut down the interview as quickly as possible if you give the wrong answer. This question is brilliant in that it can determine how successful you will be as an employee. We had a corporate manager educate us on this question and its usage. She told us that at this point in the process you are working for yourself and

• If you are not willing to invest in your (short term) future – as everyone assumed you really wanted this job…

• If you are not willing to get on the internet to discover “who her company is…what they do and why they do it, “

• If you are not willing to invest in yourself then, what kind of commitment would you offer her company?

If this is true, the bottom line is that she does not need you as an employee. She said that it is just human nature that we would always work much harder for ourselves than for someone else and what this proves is that the quality of commitment and work that we would give her company would be substandard due to our

Page 11: MS. THURSDAY NIGHT SPECIAL

unwillingness or in ability to help ourselves.. By showing up uneducated, you are insulting the employer and they will know that you didn’t really want THIS JOB from the very start of the interview…they needed you to want THIS JOB not any job…these interviews usually end with “Thank you very much…we will let you know…”

RULE # SIX (Reliable Transportation): “Reliable transportation” does not mean “do you have a car?” If you needed a car they would have asked you directly…they want to know you can get to work without calling in because you missed a bus…they do not care if you can get home…that’s on you (if it’s a concern of yours) for picking a job so far away from home or school.

RULE # SEVEN The golden rule in searching for a new job is to stay as local as possible. We had a manager at a large corporate store tell us that you should remember that the employers are using the 5-10 mile golden rule. If you are riding the bus then they will allow you a five mile buffer before the distance of your home to their location starts factoring in to the decision to (not hire you but…) to

interview you. She said if you are driving then they will buffer you out to about ten miles. This has nothing (personally) to do with you or your work history. It is based upon their experiences with people (that came before you) not making it to work on time, missing days and then quitting sometimes without notice. Is it fair? Sure is not! This is the reality of living in the 4th largest city in America. This same manager told us that the sweetest thing she can hear from an applicant is that they live in the neighborhood (or down the street) as this reassures her of your dependability, flexibility and your availability. She explained that many times the decision to hire you comes down to 80% for potential dependability and 20% on your motivation (seriousness). Nowhere in this equation is experience or even skills involved in the real hiring process and this is why she suggests that you stay local – it gives you a great advantage. So her suggestion to any job seeker looking to work with her corporation is to select the closest office and apply there. She told us that she will look at your address and if there is a closer store to you, she will toss your application.

Page 12: MS. THURSDAY NIGHT SPECIAL

If you need to apply outside this golden rule zone, she said that you MUST go out to the location you are applying for to introduce yourself and explain as to why you selected their store. She advised that if you do not do this visit then they will never call you (unless…maybe…mutant zombies took out the rest of her staff and everyone who was in her zone). She suggests that if you are sending a resume outside of your golden rule zone then delete your address on your resume with “Phoenix Metro Area” so that an employer can’t eliminate you from the get go. On the other hand, if you live across the street, then she told us to bold type the address so that the employer would know “you lived in the neighborhood.” ==================================

“…ASKING ALL THE WRONG QUESTIONS…”

Remember yet another Urban Employment Myth, “you must always ask a question to show the employer that you are interested in the job…” and how entire classes where devoted to making you seem deep, engaging and maybe a bit witty to boot? It is a cottage industry. It plays upon your paranoia and fear that that an employer will assume that you no longer want the job that is unless you are able to ask an insightful, challenging or offer up a detail question based upon the information given by the employer. The whole industry came to be based upon a “what if question” given to a Workforce Guru and (being the guru that they were) they saw the potential of making a dime by feeding off the fears of uneducated job seekers. Next came the thesis, then the workshops and this led to the book/workbooks and this became so

Page 13: MS. THURSDAY NIGHT SPECIAL

success in its marketing that even employers bought into it (Ya! There was a class to teach employers how to interview…told ya that there was big bucks to be made here!). The REAL truth is that it was a stupid question that has become NUMBER TWO on our list of “GREATEST URBAN EMPLOYMENT MYTHS.” This myth ranks up there with the other classical myth of the mystic, magical powers of the killer resume. If you took the time to think this question through you would realize that wouldn’t it be easier to say to the employer: “Hey I am still interested in this job!” What doesn’t make sense about that? Please allow me to badly misquote, the Greatest Workforce Guru, Ms. Christa Cicinelli, to you as a means of showing you how a simple question could become an industry…“Simple, workable solutions will not work in workforce…because they are!” Job seeking campers…STOP…don’t spend those hard earned dollars (that are now in short supply) to get a book or to take a class to be able to say “I am interested in the job.” Just practice with me: “Yes, I am interested in this job.” ===================================

TIPSTER THREE: The gatekeeper here is a human being so ONET will not be useful other than to boost your confidence in your skill set. The study guide works you through the three questions that you will be asked. If you know the answers, prep yourself and do your homework, you have a good chance of getting a job. Make sure you know which location you are applying for because the answer(s) to the three questions depend upon the actual work location. TIPSTER FOUR: Only several people have ever been hired on the spot, so do not expect that to happen. If it does, you have the pride of being in a very small, exclusive group! Expect a second interview and you might need to keep yourself in front of the gatekeeper until you get the interview – be persistent but not to the point of them getting a restraining order against you. ========================= “Obama touts Erickson Construction’s turnaround as a sign of a rebounding U.S. housing market during Tuesday’s stop in Phoenix…” CHANDLER, Ariz. — on his trip to Arizona today to speak about housing and the middle class, President Barack

Make them respond to you “you know a lot about my company!” I asked you if you really wanted this job...this is what the selected candidate will be willing to do to get it. Are you that person? Everyone is welcome to apply but, only a select few will know what you now know and even fewer will have it in them to do. The person who does will be the one that they will hire.

JW MARRIOTT CAMELBACK

INN 5402 Lincoln Drive Scottsdale, AZ PLEASE APPLY ONLINE THEN

GO OVER TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF!*

To search all jobs or learn more about Marriott careers: www.marriott.com/careers

========================= *Do not go to the Human

Resources Office first. Go to the department where the job is.

Maids would go to the Housekeeping Department and retail clerks should go to the gift

shop…ECT… This is critical! This is a real insider tip in the industry…

============================ Go in and start the following conversation: “I was in the neighborhood and I REALLY wanted to stop in and

Page 45: MS. THURSDAY NIGHT SPECIAL

introduce myself as I applied online for ___________ and I was wondering if anyone would have time to talk to me about this position and/or any “upcoming” openings that would utilize my skills/abilities/experience in _________________?” This starts a conversation with the actual people who will decide to interview you and/or can hire you. If they like you, they will walk you over to (or send you over to the HR) and you will see how much nicer they will be to you.

This is the surest way to get yourself known by the people who actually will make the decision to hire you. BETTER YET! THIS IS THE BEST METHOD EVER! Not everyone is bold or they are not a smooth talker that can strike up a conversation at will. Maybe you are shy? If so, the above may be difficult and you might need a different approach. This does not mean “stay at home and wait for them to call you” because

they won’t! Every one of our hires at hotels/resorts was because they had the courage to go over and introduce themselves. Either way you need to bite the bullet and go over there (accept 11AM -1PM) or quit applying for these types of jobs. If you are the Iron Chef, they will call you but otherwise, they won’t. If you call the HR Office will insist that you apply online where their computer will eliminate 90% of the applications and they feel they are too busy to deal with you walking in. This does work with HR but, don’t tell them that we told you! This works because the vast majority of people will listen to them and will not have the nerve to just show up.

THIS IS THE BEST INSIDER TIP WE EVER GOT! We use to do a lot of business with one of the better known resorts and how well you did with them depended upon the approach you took. SAMPLE 1 (NORMAL WAY): You walk in to the HR Office and ask the young lady at the counter if they are hiring. She would respond by giving you an application and show you the job board (postings). Upon completing your application, she would say “Thank you very much, we will let you know.”

Page 46: MS. THURSDAY NIGHT SPECIAL

SAMPLE 2 (THE INSIDER WAY): You walk in to the HR Office and start a conversation with the young lady at the counter by saying: “You know you have such a beautiful resort (hotel) and I pass by here every day but, I never had enough courage to come in…You know, ever since I was a little, it has always been a dream to get into the hospitality business… (In fact, ever since I was six and my parents took me to my first resort…when we were leaving, I told the lady at the front counter that I would work there someday)… I don’t know if you could use a person {as you hand her a copy of your resume} with my skills and background but, I would give anything to work in such a beautiful resort…and I was wondering if you could show me where to start?” The young lady responds by giving you an application and shows you the job board (postings). Upon completing your application, she reviews your application to see what position you applied for (or she may tell you to apply for a different position that she thinks would be better for you) and then would pick up the phone and call Mr. Jones in Housekeeping and say: “Mr. Jones do you have a moment? I have a very nice young lady who would like to work for us. Would you have time to talk to her?”

NOW FOR THE REST OF THE STORY… Both are true stories with the same company and the same person at the HR Counter. I sent two people over to apply. The first person (normal way) and didn’t have a story nor did they ask for assistance. The second person arrived an hour later with a motivation story as her introduction that got the attention of the person at the counter and when the applicant asked for assistance, she got a completely different level of service. There are research papers written as to why this worked but, the simple fact that it did should be enough to give you thought. To understand this you must understand that people in the resorts (especially HR or Management Levels) love what they do, they are true believers, and they live and even dream about the industry. It is human nature for people to offer a higher level of assistance to people who share their beliefs or interests. This is the same bounding process that allows total strangers to become friend after a 15 minute wait for a bus. Fair? No! But, this is not about fairness it is about getting a job and using anything that gives you an advantage.

Page 47: MS. THURSDAY NIGHT SPECIAL

GETTING PASS THE GATEKEEPERS! With most midrange or larger company, the gatekeeper is not a real person but a computer. This gatekeeper will scan and convert what you wrote into a number score from zero to one-hundred (or more). It does not do this by analyzing what you said because it is incapable of doing that. I can tell the computer that I have 15 years of retail experience but, the computer will not know what I just said. The computer does not understand

what all that 15 years of experience means as it is not programmed to do that. The computer is programmed to identify key words or phrases and every time it finds one, then that is one point. If you understand this, then you know it is very simple math to beat this gatekeeper. The closer you are to one hundred (or more) then the closer you are to getting selected to be interviewed by a real person. Get it? The trick here is to pad your resume and/or application with as many key words or phrases that you can. If you do this, then you are selected by the gatekeeper as a qualified candidate. The higher your score the higher you are on the list – the higher you are on

Page 48: MS. THURSDAY NIGHT SPECIAL

the list and the quicker you will get interviewed. We had one young lady who had applied to the same company (different locations/positions) 14 times. She never received a call or a notice and she was depressed. We looked at her application and saw quickly why she had never been called. On each of her applications, she was getting a score 4-6 points. If one hundred points is needed to get selected then you can see why they never called her. We conned her into trying one more time but, to use our system. She took it to heart and went to town with the concept(s) and her new application had 450 points. Within minutes of submitting this new application, she starting getting calls from every store location within the region. You know why? She has learned how the system works and by doing that she was able to beat the system. Beat the system and you get selected for the interview. This is quite simple to do if you can find that many key words or phrases. That can be a challenge as many times the employer’s job description is totally worthless to you. There are not enough details or words to add up to one hundred.

This is where we will introduce you into the best investment the government every made of your tax dollars. They spent a billion dollars to write a complex, detail, six-page job description for almost every job in American. This system is ONET ONLINE and it will be your career search BFF. Each job is broken down based on skills, abilities and a vast collection of key words or phrases for you to pad your application with. The system is neat in that it gives you a complete picture of what you did in that job which includes many connections to skills you didn’t know that you had.

WHAT I LEARNED THIS WEEK…

THE BS FACTOR IN YOUR APPLICATION “The best advice that I can give your applicants is to stay within 5 miles of their neighborhood (85008) in central the Phoenix/airport area….as this is your search golden local zone…I love

to hear that an applicant lives right down the street…my ears perk up…” Talked to a retail manager of a big box store today and she educated me on the interview process. She told me that the FATAL “You shot yourself in the foot” mistake(s) that an applicant makes are… FACTOR ONE: The BS Factor comes from applying for stores that are a long way from your home location. The BS is that the employer knows that it is BS that you will or that you can travel to their location on a daily basis without

missing days or running late (especially if you are on a bus). Within 5 miles, the bus is reliable transportation after that it is an excuse to being late or being absent. This manager tells me that this is so common with all of her stores; “your application is not reviewed unless they are totally desperate. “ Her suggestion is that if you keep in the 5-10 mile range. The Manager told me, that she really likes to hear that “I just live down the street” as this tells her that you are more likely to be on time and that you will have the flexibility to stay late or come in on your day with short notice. She said that might not be fair but, that is the reality of the retail market.

FACTOR TWO: (I never thought about this but, now it makes sense) the second biggest reason that she does not call people is because they applied for multiple openings at her store. According to her (and echoed by other managers) this is a real negative

Page 50: MS. THURSDAY NIGHT SPECIAL

and usually means that she will not waste time with you. The impression that the applicant makes is that they are willing to do anything usually means that they are desperate for employment and that they are just applying for things whether or not they really qualifies for them.

She says that this wastes her time trying to figure out what you want to do when you grow up and as she is busy running the store to take that much time on any one candidate. Most importantly, she says that it shows her that you really do not have a specific interest or worse yet (if the application is a mess – incomplete, rushed, and hard-to-read and/or lacks details or doesn’t relate to the skills that she is looking for) you don’t care. To her the application represents you at your best and she judges it as such. Her suggestion is to read the job descriptions and determine which job is a perfect fit for your skills (you need to do this as she doesn’t have the time or interest to do) and, then, apply for that job.

She said that you must complete the application with an emphasis on the skills, abilities or experience that is requested in the ad. She said that this should be your base to build a case that she needs to call you in for an interview. The application must be neat and easy for her to read (sloppy applications are tossed as they take too much time to figure out). Remember, to her, this is your very best and sloppiness is a sign that you really didn’t want this job. She told me that it is critical that you show her that you have the skills that she needs and that you need to show how your experience (outside of the specific job you applied for) related to the specific job you applied for.

She said you need to show the connection. She said that is your job not her’s as she has a job and she ended the thought by saying that she isn’t Colombo! Put this all together and you have an application that will impress her enough to call you. If not, try again in

==========================================

A YOUNG LADY CRIED: “I HAVE NO SKILLS!” “I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE!” “I HAVE NO HOPE!” With that she had resigned herself to the helplessness of

your plight and that it wasn’t worth the effort to try. I told her that this was a copout and that I wasn’t going to let her do that. I said that because her conclusion was so far from true anywhere except in her mind. In fact, all of the jobs that she seemed to have an interest in center around what she felt comfortable with, that she had spent years (at home) perfected her skills and abilities to a master’s level.

Page 54: MS. THURSDAY NIGHT SPECIAL

In several of these areas, she was truly a journey level person: Cleaning, cooking and caregiving. In fact, I had to warn her that she may be over qualified for the entry level jobs in those industries. In each, she had professional experience and must be pretty good at each - as she says her kids never throw food back at her – and if anyone would, they would…the hardiest critiques come from those we care about the most… No space to explain…hope you get the jest of the argument? Whether others would agree with this assessment depends solely on her ability to showcase skills and abilities. It is like the old man use to say: “If the job is riding a bicycle…do you really care where I learned to or that I can?” In these entry level jobs experience is not necessary but, skills and abilities are! This special issue came out of that conversation…Hope it can help others!

LOCALIZE YOUR JOB SEARCH AND YOU CAN ENHANCE YOUR

CHANCES OF GETTING HIRED…@ SAFEWAY!

“STAY WITHIN 5 MILES OF YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD (85008) IN CENTRAL THE PHOENIX/AIRPORT AREA…. AS THIS IS YOUR SEARCH LOCAL ZONE…”

STEP ONE: APPLY ONLINE… http://www.careersatsafeway.com/ DID YOU KNOW? 80% of all applications get thrown away because you NEVER showed the employer that you had the skills that THEY were looking for. You got too caught up with explaining what you did instead of showing how that related to what this employer wanted. HINT: If I was an auto mechanic applying for a courtesy clerk position at Food City…the last thing I would talk about would be repairing a car… I would talk about dealing with my customers, resolving their problems…

MAKE SENSE? TRY IT! IT DOES WORK MIRACLES! YOU MUST HAVE OPEN AVAILABLE TO WORK IN THIS INDUSTRY UNLESS YOU ARE APPLYING FOR PT WORK.

STEP TWO: GO INTRODUCE YOURSELF… If you really want the job, demonstrate that by going over to the store and introducing yourself…If you can’t or won’t…this tells the employer everything they need to know about how seriously you REALLY want their job…NOT!

Page 56: MS. THURSDAY NIGHT SPECIAL

Most importantly, this says that you do not care enough…that you might do this job…OR NOT? NO ONE wants to hire the person who demonstrates that they would take this job as a last resort…everyone wants to hire the person who is excited…who likes/love the work and who appreciates the opportunity to get THIS job.

STEP THREE: SEE OPPORTUNITY…

Explain that you understand that you are being offered an opportunity and that you appreciate it…because the employer believes that they are offering you an opportunity and most applicants

(mostly those not hired) never demonstrate that they get it…little-a-lone that they appreciate it. At the end of the interview, tell the employer that you still want the job…these things make a big difference and many times…means the difference between getting hired or not.

This will allow you to take advantage of living within the neighborhood. Use this technique (below) with stores where the manager's name is posted. Normally, we would tell you to NOT call but, go in person as this is the best way to introduce yourself and to show the manager that you are serious about working for them.

McDonald's is different. Managers might manage multiple stores and if you just go, they might not be there.

HERE IS THE MCDONALD'S

DRILL: • Apply online to the store. Do the

application correctly (ala Rule Number Four) and complete.

• Call over to the store between 2-4 PM ONLY.

• Whoever answers the phone usually gives you their name, right? Start talking to them like you know them and then ask for their boss by his/her first name.

SAMPLE: "Hey, Joe...are you guys swamped...man, we are over here...Hey, is Pedro in? Can I talk to him real quick?" There is a complicate psychological explanation as to why this works but, it does.

• You are on the phone with Pedro. Change gears by saying " Mr. Trujillo, I know you are very busy but, I just completed your online application and I was wondering if you could (please) pull my application (and without

pausing or taking a breath…this is critical to making this work) when can I come see you about the position?

• Agree to the time that Pedro gives you and be there 10 minutes early. Please don't say, “no I can't come now...” otherwise... this call was in vain.
