Job search strategies that really work for you

If you can’t explain it simply,
you don’t know your subject.
– Albert Einstein

Most of the books, articles written about how to get a job are written by theorists who have not actually helped get people jobs!
Interesting! It would almost be funny – this part about people writing books about how to find jobs not having much, if any, experience in finding people jobs – if above mentioned books, articles didn’t waste so much of their readers’ time and money!
My day-to-day responsibilities are solely concerned with finding people jobs.
What are my qualifications? I have been successfully finding people real jobs for over thirty years. After receiving a Ph.D. in Higher Education from St.Louis University, I bagan to forge a career working outside of academia – in the real employment world.
I have personally placed more than 6,000 people and am adding to that list every day. I have personally met and interviewed more than 24,000 people of all professions and services. I have worked with more than 21,000 different companies; many of which have hired candidates from me while some did not. The firm that I now own has been in the placement and recruitment business since 1952. I joined the organization in 1973 and bought it from the founder in 1989. We are the oldest placement firm in Texas and certainly one of the oldest, if not the oldest, in the Southwest. Since its founding, the firm has helped more than 100,000 people find jobs. We have developed surefire techniques that help people find new jobs and new careers.
