PEOPLE HIRE PEOPLE, NOT RESUMES

by Frank Danzo

PUT AWAY
THE RESUME!
(at least for the time being)

Starting a job search is full of emotions: fear, failure, confusion and uncertainty. For many, this is the first time you have had to look for a job and the feeling of being out of control can be overwhelming.

What do I do now? Will I ever find a new job? Why me? All questions that cross the mind of a new job seeker or someone recently put out of work. Many update their resume and post it on the Internet. But with less than 10% of all jobs filled through such a method, this will only result in increased stress and frustration.

To make your job search focused, aggressive, structured and ultimately successful, follow the guidelines Frank Danzo lays out in "People Hire People, Not Resumes." And Frank's first suggestion: Treat your job search like a project you need to complete for your new boss, YOU.

When you have finished reading “People Hire People, Not Resumes,” you will understand how to conduct a job search or career change that is in your control.

You will learn how to:
• Hold yourself accountable to ensure your success
• Develop a personal marketing plan to guide your search
• Make your resume stand out by passing the 30 second thumb test
• Network with people that can make a difference in your search
• Present yourself as the most qualified candidate
• Build powerful relationships that will last a lifetime

75% of all jobs are filled by referrals. Who you know, who knows you and how well you know each other is critical to the success of your job search.

If you are serious about advancing your career, get started now, because nobody will do it for you. Take this proprietary process seriously, it works.
