Here are two success stories from my readers who found great new jobs last week. As you read each story Wholesale NCAA Jerseys , ask yourself, "How could I apply this to my job hunt?"


1) Job-search goal cards work


Here's a story sent in by Fred, from Chanhassen, Minn. He got hired, in part, by using my "job-search goal card" technique in his search.


Fred writes:


"On Tuesday, May 24th Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping , I attended the Star Tribune job fair at the Minneapolis Convention Center and heard you speak. You said to write down our ideal new job on a 3x5 card and read it every day until we found a job.


"I just started working today (July 26) as a consultant, at $65 per hour, on a 3-6 month contract that could go as long as 18 months. I am working at a major Fortune 500 company not far from my house. Conclusion: Mission accomplished. Thanks!"


Here's what Fred wrote on his job search goal card -- you can see how close he came to hitting the mark:


"I am a project manager business analyst CIO controller who knows how to use technology to build new products and systems. I am making $85,000 per year, and I enjoy meeting new people and problems."


Your Takeaway Lesson: When you write down a specific description of your ideal job and read it out loud at least twice a day, you will almost always get hired faster. Why? For the same reason you can start a fire with the sun's rays using a magnifying glass -- focus.


I recommend you write the following statement on a 3x5 card and say it 10 times out loud, three times a day -- when you wake up Wholesale Jerseys From China , during lunch, and before going to bed each night. This will imprint your job-search goal on your brain. And focus your efforts. And help you get hired faster:


"It's August 30 (INSERT DATE YOU WANT TO BE WORKING BY). I'm an effective INSERT JOB TITLE who adds value to the company lucky enough to have me. I'm making $XX,XXX in a stimulating environment, doing work I love, surrounded by co-workers I enjoy."


To make this work for you, all you need is a clear idea of the job you want, a 3x5 card and a pen. This is not high-tech or low-tech -- this is no-tech. So you have no excuse for not trying it.


2) Keep an open mind and say "Thank you."


Anna C. from Michigan is newly employed and writes: "I have the most wonderful job -- every day I feel like I'm playing."


Not bad Wholesale Jerseys China , eh? When work is play, work is good.


But, Anna was first turned down by the employer who eventually hired her. Her story shows the importance of keeping an open mind ? and of always sending thank-you letters.


Anna writes: "I received many interview offers, none of which I was interested in. Many were sales-based. I finally responded to an email for a job as an agent for XYZ Company. I had never, ever thought of being a salesperson. As a matter of fact, I HATED sales people. Well, I didn't get the job Wholesale Jerseys , so I sent a thank-you note to the interviewer."


That doesn't sound very promising, does it? Keep reading ?


Anna got a call for a second interview, but she had no intention of taking the job, partly because it was too far from home. "But then I received a second email from XYZ, this time for a job out of St. Joseph, Michigan, which is closer to my home. I thought Cheap NCAA College Jerseys , 'Someone must be trying to tell me something,' so I applied. I was hired," she says.


Your Takeaway Lesson: Keep an open mind and don't be too quick to rule out positions that aren't exactly what you're looking for. As Anna's case illustrates, you might get hired for a job you weren't even looking for.


And, even if you don't get an offer after your first interview, send a thank-you letter to the employer. They may ask you back for another job that's even better, as in Anna's case.
