Takeaways
● People do business with people they know, like, and trust. So next time you want to ask someone for help, ask yourself these three questions:
○ Do they know me?
○ Do they like me?
○ Do they trust me?
● Become a Double Threat
○ Single Threat = Knows a skill = $
○ Double Threat = Knows a skill + another useful skill = $$
○ Triple Threat = Knows a skill + another useful skill + yet another useful skill = $$$$$
● Tell the world exactly what you’re good at. Tell the story of your life. Write down what your one sentence story is focused on your current skill set. Then create one focused on your future skill set.
The Ten Commandments of Finding a New Job
1. Most jobs waiting to be filled are not posted online.
2. It’s not about who you know. It’s all about knowing the right people who know that you’re good at what you do.
3. Applying for a job online is the worst way to go about it.
4. The resume is dead. LinkedIn should be your new focus.
5. You don’t need a formal education to do your job.
6. People hire people. Don’t be afraid to reach out to people more successful than you.
7. Companies don’t hire you because they like you. They want to make more money!
8. Nobody will hire you for someone you want to be.
9. Switching careers is never a straight line.
10.If your first contact for a job is an online job application, a recruiter, or Human Resources, you’re doing it wrong.
