Please avail yourself of these resources. Buy the books. Learn who you are and how to get your name out there! Make contact with them. I have. They are here to help. Each one has impacted my life. Each one can help you too!

9/22/2011 The 3Gs of Job Searching -26-

The power of networking!

Make friends with recruiters. Just remember, trust takes time! Be a resource for your hiring friends. Refer quality people to

them. They will remember you. Encourage your job searching friends. You know how you do

and do NOT wish to be “encouraged!”

Exude a selfless approach versus self serving – we are not here just for ourselves but to serve others.

All of these are true stories!

Joshua Waldman reached out to me about his book, now his gesture ripples out to you

Nancy Anderson shared her expertise with me and now this spreads to

you

My “chance” meeting with Amy Adler at Chick-fil-A will likely become a future blog about The Power of Networking

And of course how Ed Colozzi reached out to me and can help you is a

true example of giving, read that story here!

The way of giving works if we will work it.!

The power of the Divine in your Destiny Could actually have been our first point – for we

should not proceed in job hunting without God’s guidance, if we claim to believe in Him

I had prayed for God to send someone into my world,

that answered prayer was in the person of Ed Colozzi I had also prayed for a job, and Chick-fil-A was the one

and only non-sales door that opened

The power of the Divine in your Destiny

Ask God to bring you to what He wants, not just what you want or what you should do but rather who you should be – that is what matters!

Ask God to help you discover your calling.

THE GREAT GOD WHO MADE ALL WE SEE

IS HUMBLE ENOUGH TO LISTEN

TO YOU AND ME.

Guidance – be sure to buy the books and click the links throughout

Giving – help others and you will help yourself – the good you do will in time ripple back IF you give for the right reasons and not to get

God – seek Divine help in your destiny.
