Rules of the Road
Rules of the Road provides a big picture understanding of the fundamental skills you need to conduct an effective Job Hunt. It is a composite of a wide range of high level individual skills which affect your entire preparation and presentation.
Rules of the Road is a road map for your entire job-hunting strategy and journey. It describes and amplifies all the skills, tools, coaching, and resources you need to ensure a successful landing.
Here’s a partial list of skills you will learn in reviewing Rules of the Road:
- The best resume styles, effective content, and the dos and don’ts for preparing both a written and a verbal resume
- How to eliminate what I call “Wuss Words” from your presentation. These are words that weaken your presentation and undermine your credibility. (From The Oxford Dictionary – “wuss” describes an ineffectual person…). Eliminating these words from your speaking strengthens and adds credibility to your presentation. Some examples Wuss Words: try, maybe, perhaps, might, considering, I hope, I plan to, and probably.
- How to include something relevant, unique, and memorable about your character by expressing what I call your Three Key Strengths. I introduce and further discuss your Three Key Strengths in all phases of the job-hunting process
- How Rules of the Road affects all phases of your Job Hunt, beginning with facing the changes to the familiarity of your last position, or the loss of a long-term job. This transition involves your acceptance and adjustment to change, an important quality to exhibit throughout your presentation
