On the 11th day of Christmas – Guerrilla Marketing for Job Hunters 2.0 revealed to me

“11 More Ways to Find
a Job Today”

 

It’s
Day 11! We’re almost done with this 12-part series.

 

Today
we’re going to do something different. (That’s a mindset you should adopt, by
the way, if you want to stand out in today’s crowded job market.)

 

Today
I’m going to present 11 links to longer articles I’ve written in the past. If
networking or cold-calling on employers isn’t for you, no problem. Just click
on and follow one of the article links below to learn more about each job
search tip.

 

The
following tips certainly are “different.” Yet, each has helped someone find a
job in the past. Why not you, too?

 

1.     
Send
half your resume

2.     
Write
a prospecting letter

3.     
Send
a letter stating you’re over qualified.

4.

a competitive analysis

5.

9.

    your tribe to help

  2. Become "the expert"

 

When using the above Guerrilla Job Search tactics, keep the following
points in mind:

 

·       
Be
bold.

·       
Be
passionate.

·       
Be
creative.

·       
Be
tasteful.

·       
Be
safety conscious.

image conscious.

·       
Enlist
a personal army of helpers.

·

the media whenever you can.

 

Bottom
line: if you do what every other job hunter is doing, you’ll be in the same
boat as all those people who gripe about the economy, heartless employers, rude
HR types, “bad luck,” etc.

different, by following any or all of the 11 tips you read about today. Then,
