Outthink the Recruiter
• Never forget the #1 way people find jobs.• Find any way to get to the hiring manager.• Compliment the Recruiter and recognize their
challenges• Build and Reinforce Your Social Networks• Design your resume to have maximum hooks
– Use the 10/3/3 rule– It’s all about what you WILL and CAN DO, not
what you’ve done• Take 5 minutes for jobs you want to research the
company so you can embed hidden hiring factors• Eliminate everything that may give the recruiter a
reason to disqualify you• Write your resume incorporating as many key
words and phrases as appear in the job posting• Be quantitative whenever possible• Be Ruthless with Resumes: 2 Pages or Less
![Page 54: Monster Secrets An Insider’s Guide to Getting the Job](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681688a550346895ddf07fa/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Managing the Job Search: Actions and Attitudes
• Actions– Refresh your resume at least once a month.– Invite people to go for a walk.– Acknowledge feelings and recognize them as
simply that. Then take action. Do not be distracted
– Consider starting your own blog (Wordpress.com)
– Attend Workshops and Seminars in your field• Attitudes
– Handle Staffing Agency calls quickly, but firmly
– Be assertive, not arrogant, and stay in contact with the HR recruiter
– Be friendly and open to new ideas– Always try to be helpful to recruiters. They
are connectors. Be a connector for them.

Final Pearls of Wisdom• Whenever you are asked if you can do a job, tell 'em, 'Certainly I can!' Then get busy and find out how to do it.
- Theodore Roosevelt
• Emergencies have always been necessary to progress. It was darkness which produced the lamp. It was fog that produced the compass. It was hunger that drove us to exploration. And it took a depression to teach us the real value of a job.
- Victor Hugo
• All Happiness comes from thinking of others. All suffering comes from thinking of one’s self.
- Dalai Lama
• Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
- Dalai Lama
