This presentation will help you get in the right frame of mind to conduct your job search today. I say today because every day is different when you are searching with some days better than others. Hopefully this will help you to be at the top of your game when that recruiter or hiring manager calls out of the blue which absolutely can happen anytime. Who Am I….I am a hardworking guy who, like many others, found himself out of work during the economic downturn in 2010. After a long battle of wrong turns, job search strategies that led to no where, and dead end leads, I decided to take a more strategic approach to my job search. Like anything else in life, I needed to treat my search like a full-time job and create a plan that would allow me to stand out above the competition. This came in especially handy as I was in transition again in 2017. Basically, I just used the tips that I have shared with others and was out of work a total of ZERO days. Yes, I got a job offer the day after my last day at my previous job. Let me show you how I did it so you too can have a quicker landing than you would have had without my tips. Why Am I Sharing What Helped Me…because I quickly realized that to handle an event like that is to focus on what you can control and share the experience to help others. I believe that an experience not shared is a lost opportunity in life, and that smart people learn from their mistakes and smarter people learn from other people’s experiences. Plus, I told myself that once I figured this out I would share it with others so that they too could navigate the world of unemployment. In these chapters, I show you how I did it so that you will have the confidence to make it through the process. I hope that this presentation helps you to get your next great job. #career #jobsearch #unemployment #depression #confidence #interviewing #networking #resume #recruiting #hiringmanager #work #transition

1. Getting The Upper Advantage No Matter The Odds
By: Anthony Hines

2. Who Am I….I am a hardworking guy who, like many others, found himself out of work
during the economic downturn in 2010. After a long battle of wrong turns, job search
strategies that led to no where, and dead end leads, I decided to take a more strategic
approach to my job search. Like anything else in life, I needed to treat my search like a
full-time job and create a plan that would allow me to stand out above the competition.
This came in especially handy as I was in transition again in 2017. Basically, I just used
the tips that I have shared with others and was out of work a total of ZERO days. Yes, I
got a job offer the day after my last day at my previous job. Let me show you how I did it
so you too can have a quicker landing than you would have had without my tips.
Why Am I Sharing What Helped Me…because I quickly realized that to handle an event
like that is to focus on what you can control and share the experience to help others. I
believe that an experience not shared is a lost opportunity in life, and that smart people
learn from their mistakes and smarter people learn from other people’s experiences.
Plus, I told myself that once I figured this out I would share it with others so that they
too could navigate the world of unemployment. In these chapters, I show you how I did
it so that you will have the confidence to make it through the process. I hope that this
presentation helps you to get your next great job.

3. BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING MORE.
Get Your Resume Checked
 Email your resume to me at Ahines00001@gmail.com and I will ask one of my
resume contacts to look at it and get back to you. That way you will get free
feedback as to how your resume looks and flows. Go for it because without a
great resume, you have no chance of getting any job much less a great job. The
turnaround is quick and the service is stellar.
 Read My Job Search Tip Document First .
These are the Free documents that tell you everything that I did to get activity
& visibility in my search. Email me at Ahines00001@gmail.com and I will send
you them.

5.  The next group of slides will discuss things that I believe you
could do to get in the right “place” to job search today. That’s
right TODAY as each day is its own job search event.
 I will tell you the tip or idea and let you know why I like it to
help you in dealing with the process.
 Remember, I am by no means a professional and never claim
to be. I am just giving you things as I see them to help you to
see through the ‘fog’ and get ahead in your career.
 I hope my ideas help you out and help me to end
unemployment one person at a time.

providing you with things I did that helped me out
during my own job search.

has a lot to do with attitude and outlook. That’s on you.

charge. You can do it because you have done it before I
bet.
