Get The Upper Hand No Matter The Odds

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

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.

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. Read about them in the upcoming slides and see their
value. Then email me at Ahines00001@gmail.com and I will send you them.

 The next group of slides will discuss all of my job
search related documents in detail.
 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.

 This presentation is a more detailed breakdown of my job
search document set that is mentioned in an earlier slide.
 There is no doubt that the first two docs are what you
should spend the most of your time on which are my 60+ page
Job Search Tip doc and my LinkedIn Tip doc, but there are
many other documents that can help you as well so use this
with the check list email as a high level guide. Reference all of
my documents often to help you stay with it and feel free to
email me anytime at Ahines00001@gmail.com if you have
questions comments or feedback.

 Believe in yourself. No one is going to believe in you until
you believe in yourself. Don't let it waver. Always know
that you are great at what you do and it will come out in
the interviews and in your conversations.
 Be confident, not cocky and remember “it ain't braggin if
you can back it up”. Who says that the next job won’t be
even better than the last job you had. Make it happen and
keep your eye on the prize. Channel your energy into this
process and stick with it.

 Focus on what you can control and let the stuff you can’t control
work on their own schedule.
 Focus on each thing you do like you would a brick you are using
to build a pyramid. If you look at the process as the entire
pyramid, you will never get anywhere.
 Automate what you can so when you network and talk to
people, your documents are out there presenting you well.
 You are only looking for one job. Never forget that.

 Work on your LinkedIn profile using the
Linkedin Tip document that is in my packet.
 It tells you the things that I did to make myself
come up in search 50+ times a day and be more
visible to recruiters as well as how I maximized
the visibility of my skills to all who read it.
 Your profile can promote you while you sleep.
Make it the best it can be.

 Please follow me on Twitter.com. My Twitter

information as I come across them on the internet.

Your Letters Are So Key.
 There are also examples of a cover letters. Take a look at
them and see if they help you.
 Plus there is an example of an “Approach Letter”. You should
be reading your city’s business journal. If you see a great article
on an up and coming company, send them a letter and tell them
how you saw the article and wanted to congratulate them on
their success. Oh and add your resume to let the receiver know
that you would love to work there. Take a shot. You never know.
 Thank you notes to anyone and everyone who helps you
should be sent all the time. People notice and since no one ever
receives a letter anymore, I am sure that the person will notice
big time.

 Use the log document that is in the packet to show the state
or area unemployment department your efforts for training
eligibility. It will keep you organized and allow you to have
your data for any needed area or person at your fingertips as
well as the people who decide on your federal training grant
eligibility. It shows just hard you have been working. Keep on
top of things and have the info when you need it.
 If one state unemployment office denies your training
money application, try another office. Money is released to
different offices at different times. No one is going to go out
of your way to tell you about this. You have to chase it.

 Check out the PMP tip document showing you tricks to
help you to pass the Project Management Professional
certification test.
 Even if you are not taking that test, there are many tips
that you can use for any certification test that you are
planning to take.
 Getting certified can be a game changer. Check out the
hottest certifications and see if you are eligible.
Whenever it is close between two candidates, I believe
that certified people get the job in most cases. That’s
just a fact.

 In my packet of docs, there is an example of a
power point presentation which showed my skills.
 I used this powerpoint in certain situations to get
noticed by employers.
 Use this approach only if you think it is useful to
get you an edge in the process.
 This document is only to be used for certain
situations where a power point may help you out.

 Check out the sheets that show you my business
card as it has info that will help you design your
own.
 You must have business cards and I show you my
example.
 Make sure your email, phone number and LinkedIn
address are on your card.
This gives people an easy way to get access to your
info.

 Don’t underestimate the power of LinkedIn and the resource it
can be to your job search. LinkedIn is going to be your biggest
asset to growing your brand as an expert in your field of expertise,
networking with individuals for both professional and personal
reasons, and driving your job search into high gear!
 If you can afford it, join Job Seeker Premium so that you have
access to more jobs and when you apply for a job via LinkedIn,
your application goes to the top of the pile.
 Join groups, discussions, keep making comments and posts.
 Keep in mind that LinkedIn is changing (for the better) every
single day so it’s important to stay updated with any new job
search resources, updates, or additional resources LinkedIn
implements on a constant basis.

 In my packet, there is a document that is an example of a list of
references. Feel free to use that format if you think it will help.
 Then check the list of recruiters that I worked with or who I
later added on to said list . They are very, very responsive even
they don't have anything for you currently.
 If possible, will pass on your resume if they can. Plus, the list
was just updated. Remember, a recruiter will only contact you if
there is a match and probably not as much if there is not a match.
Don’t feel bad. It’s all about match and not about anything else.
That said, I recommend that you get your resume to all of them
and always request a link to all of them as you never know.

 Someone just asked me "what to ask in an informational
interview?". Here is what I told the person I would do. First of
all, keep it positive and interesting and just be yourself and see if
that makes a connection. Before I went to the interview, I would
go to secondary news sources and go check for recent
announcements about the company that may not have been in
the large media outlets and if I saw something positive, I would
ask about that.
 Before I went to the interview I would think about what is
important to me and look at the company's mission statement
and see what is common and be ready to discuss that.

 Search for job search apps and download them
to your phone and IPad. Never know if one of
those will be the difference in getting the job.
 Look at various job search sites for tools that
you can use to help you in your process.
 Look for salary info and job descriptions as well
as company information that you can discuss in
interviews and the like.

 A reminder to come follow me on twitter. I am
@Anthony_V_Hines. I send job search tips as I
think of them.
Check the job sites on Twitter. There are tons of
jobs and they change all the time. Plus, if you
know about that technology, you will not be
perceived as out of touch or out of date.
 Follow Twitter job search experts for tips.

 LinkedIn notifies you every day telling you
the people in your network that have just
gotten a new job, have a birthday on that
day, have a work anniversary, have moved
or are in the news. I say congratulate them
all and wish them a happy birthday etc.
 Now you have started and communication
which you can expand on from there.

 Got great professional skills and experience
that you can share with a company that needs
help? You may want to consider Maven. This
company has a list of many requests for
information or experience that maybe you
could answer and pick up some cash on the
side while doing it. Plus, you can tell your
friends about it and make some cash if they
signup . Check out this link for more
information.

 I want to reiterate that I am not a professional and only
providing you with things I did that helped me out
during my own job search.
 I create these presentations because the job search
process has a lot to do with attitude and outlook. That’s
on you. Excuses are for losers. Be a winner and take
charge. You can do it because you have done it before I
bet.
 Make sure you individualize any all of the information
provided on this or any of my presentations. My ideas
are to guide you and help you to understand concepts.

 If you want to quickly increase your LinkedIn
connection total, including many recruiters, go to
http://www.TopLinked.com/a/?a=182790 .
 This paid service will make your connection total
explode. I caution that if you are not ready for a
substantial amount of LinkedIn connection requests
especially from recruiters, you may not want to sign
up and believe me it doesn’t stop. They keep coming.
 Now if you want that type of traffic and want many
more contacts guaranteed, please use the above link
for quick service.

 If you have found this presentation helpful and found
some ways to gain an advantage in your job search, then
my hours of work to help the unemployed one person at
a time has been a success.

daily. Go for it and don’t look back. No excuses, no
delays, no procrastination. Go for it.

created. It is called the Anthony Hines Job
Search Survival Group. It’s a unique group
because the people in it really support and
help each other to get their next opportunity.

join the above named group. People really
seem to find it useful and I check in often as

presentations because over the recent past,
I have added a bunch of new chapters that

 Look, I know the feeling of despair and
hopelessness that can come over you because
this process can be so overwhelming.
 Face the situation and own the situation. There
is no reason you cannot get an even better job
in the near future. Make it happen. Believe in
yourself and it will happen.
