One of the secrets of writing is developing a good hook. Kirk Baumann has a great post with a great hook, and some pretty good advice for the job seeker. Here’s an excerpt:

It’s the Boy Scouts motto. It’s what your teachers, your mom and dad have been telling you all your life. But, are you really prepared? Prepared for anything?? Are you prepared to take on the career search, pass the screenings, ace the interview and land the job?

In the job search and life in general, preparedness can put a person ahead of the game. Here are a few tips on you can prepare for whatever may come your way in your search for employment:

  • Do your homework.
  • Know them better than they know themselves.
  • Wow them.
  • Follow up, follow up, FOLLOW UP!

My Core Ideas

1. "I can't tell you the best way to get a job - because there is no one best way. After 19 year of recruiting, I CAN share things I've seen candidates do to guarantee they DIDN'T get the job."

2. "Most companies don't realize how their recruiting process impacts their candidate pool, and their business. Attention to simple things will result in big improvements."
