your job search into high gear and land the job you want quickly and
efficiently!
“Finally! A simple step-by-step, easy-to-follow system
guaranteed to SHORTEN your job search and LAND YOU THE JOB YOU WANT…faster,
more efficiently, and without frustration!”
An acclaimed career marketing expert shows you exactly
what steps to take RIGHT NOW (plus reveals the simple secrets for a
successful job search that no one else is telling you!) that will
guarantee you a fast, easy, and successful job search that will land you
the job you want in HALF the time!
From: Michelle Dumas, Thursday afternoon 2:30
Dear Motivated Job Seeker,
Does it seem like you have been job searching forever?
Are you beginning to wonder if there will ever be a successful end to
your current job search?
Are you ready to move forward in your career but feel stuck because you
aren’t quite sure what to do first?
Do you find yourself procrastinating in even launching your job search
because you dread the time-consuming work it will take and the feelings
of frustration and rejection that are certain to come with it?
How would things be different for
you if you had a simple-to-follow, step-by-step guide to job searching
that was guaranteed to...
 | Shorten your job search and
land
you the job you want in dramatically less time, |
 | Open the right doors and win the
positive attention of hiring authorities, |
 | Help you outshine and out-compete
even your fiercest rivals in the job market, |
 | Give you confidence in promoting
yourself and your true value in the workplace, and |
 | Position you to command a higher
salary and get paid what you are worth, |
…so that you can end the frustration,
eliminate the stress,
and turn the time-consuming struggle into fast and easy job search
SUCCESS?
I understand completely! In my work
over the past decade-plus with many thousands of job hunters I have
heard the stories of frustration and anguish over and over again!
If you are like most people, you
find job searching stressful! Conducting a job search is simply no fun
and it can be pure anguish when the days turn into weeks and the weeks
turn into months, and still you seem no closer to landing the job you
want!
And, of course, as time passes and
the job offers still don’t come, the financial pressure begins to mount.
It is at this point that many people begin to feel desperate, alone, and
very afraid.
Conducting a fast, successful, and stress-free job search is much easier
than you may think!
I knew there had to be a better way! Every year in
my business, I come into contact with thousands and thousands of job
hunters. I wanted to help them – to take away that stress and to
give them an easy, proven system that would dramatically shorten
their time in the job search and let them get back to work faster in
jobs that were more personally, professionally, and
financially rewarding.
So, over the past 11 years, I have made it my
mission to learn everything I could about job searching and career
marketing. I’ve poured over articles, books, and websites, I’ve attended
numerous seminars and conferences, I’ve completed many training and
certification programs, and I’ve “test-driven” various job search tools
and products.
But still, I never quite found the step-by-step
integrated system I was looking for. One that would take my clients
from start to finish, smoothly and successfully guiding them through the
entire job search process.
That is why I created “Secrets of a Successful
Job Search: 7 Simple Steps to Land the Job You Want in Half the Time.”
To share with you EVERYTHING I have learned about
job searching and career marketing over the past decade-plus. But more
importantly, to do so in a simple, stress-free, step-by-step system
that will guide you quickly, smoothly, and successfully
through each phase of your job search – from the initial step of setting
your job target to the final steps of negotiating multiple job
offers and landing the job you want.
...Added Rocket Fuel to My Career Trajectory...
"Michelle Dumas and Distinctive Documents added rocket fuel to my
career trajectory. This new program is packed with powerful
strategies, success stories, examples, and real-world exercises that
job seekers can put into immediate use. Follow the step-by-step
program and you may quickly find yourself choosing from multiple job
offers!"
--Jeff O'Connell, New York Times Best-selling Co-author, LL Cool
J's Platinum Workout and Former Editor-in-Chief, Muscle &
Fitness magazine.
Why do so many job hunters
struggle in job searches that are long, inefficient, and unproductive?
True or False?
It is better to cast a broad net in your job search, not setting a
precise job target, so that you don’t cut yourself off from
opportunities.
False! You and you alone control the
destiny of your career. Don’t expect a busy employer to try to figure
out where you fit in their company. You need to tell them and promote
yourself as the answer to their needs. A well-defined job target will
guide you in your entire job search and will position you for
uncompromising success.
True or False?
The concept of branding can be easily adapted to distinguish you and
give you a huge competitive advantage over your rivals in the job
market.
Absolutely true! The concept of personal
branding has been a revolution in the job-search process. Personal
branding will set you apart from your peers and establish you as a
valuable commodity in the job market. Establishing your brand and
value proposition will be the essential cornerstone and foundation for
your successful job search.
True or False?
Taking the time to plan a job search campaign is a waste of time. You
should just buckle down and get to it. The more ads you answer the
faster you’ll be successful.
Complete
fiction! Job searching does not have to be complicated, but
without a plan and written goals you are almost certain to double the
time you spend searching. Did you know that over 80% of all jobs
aren’t even advertised? How are you going to tap into them? A
multi-pronged job search strategy– one that includes multiple
techniques prioritized by effectiveness and a clear plan for
consistent follow up – is essential.
True or False?
A resume should be a listing of all of your job experience, the
responsibilities you have held in the past, and education. A resume
should never be longer than one page.
Total garbage! A resume is a marketing
document – a document meant to sell the ultimate product – YOU! At its
very core, a job search is a personal sales and marketing campaign and
it essential that you begin to look at it that way. Like any good
marketing piece, your resume should be benefits focused with
documented achievements and results to illustrate your value
proposition. You only have one chance to make a good first impression.
Don’t blow it!
True or False?
Preparing in advance for interviews is impossible. There is no way to be
prepared for the multitude of questions that may be asked.
Again, completely false! Interviews are
the culmination and the objective of all your job search activities.
Now isn’t the time to just sit back and let what happen will. You need
to prepare and stay competitive. There are relatively simple
techniques that you can use to prepare for interviews, so that you
will really shine, feel confident, engage in conversation, and paint a
picture in the interviewer’s mind of exactly why you are the
best-qualified candidate to meet their needs and solve their problems.

How much does it COST YOU daily to be
underemployed? To be unemployed? How much would it be WORTH TO YOU
if we could shorten that time by even a couple of weeks? By even a
single day?
Imagine for a
moment that you have been toiling away in a job paying you $70,000 a
year. You know you are worth more, and you have your eye on
a job – a promotion – for which you would be paid $95,000. That’s a
$25,000 difference.
An
increase of over $2,080 per month.
But, because you
didn't feel confident...you weren't certain of exactly how to pursue
it...you procrastinated. The next time you heard, the position was
filled. You lost out on the opportunity. Maybe forever.
So,
can I ask you again? How much does it cost YOU to be underemployed?
But a $25,000 increase
is moderate. It is
not AT ALL uncommon for clients to come back telling me about increases
of $30,000, $40,000, even $50,000 and more.
But what if you are
currently unemployed? Let’s imagine for a moment that in your last
job you were, again, earning $70,000. Now, unemployed, every day
counts.
Each
week of unemployment you lose $1,346.
Every single weekday represents $269 in lost wages.
So, how much is it
costing YOU to be unemployed?
How much would it
be worth to you if I could shorten your job search by just a couple of
weeks? By a few days?
Of course, for many
people, this return on investment would be MUCH higher.
Okay.
So how much will all of this information cost me?!
Once you
know the secrets and the powerful system that I teach in this program,
you can use them beginning RIGHT NOW to kick your job search
into high gear, to generate both the high quantity and the
high quality of responses to your resume that you want, and
to land the job you want and get back to work faster than
you ever thought possible.
But even
better, you can use these secrets and powerful system over and over
again, to progress and advance your career, to win
promotions ahead of your peers and your competition, to
confidently move forward in your career because you know your true
value in the job market and you aren't afraid to leverage it, and to
negotiate compensation that is higher than you ever expected.
Finally, to get paid what you are worth!
This
isn't one of those programs where you'll work through it and feel
overwhelmed or still not have a clue how to proceed. That isn't my
style! I make things simple. Straightforward. I don't hold anything back
and you'll hear me give you valuable information gleaned from
well over a decade of experience working with job hunters. But I have
organized it into 7 easy, simple-to-follow steps that will get you back
into the game today! It is like having me as your own personal job
search coach, but at only a tiny fraction of the cost!
***
This product retails for $197! A figure that is well worth it when you
consider how much it actually costs you daily to be unemployed or
underemployed. In the example above, I showed you how it is costing you
$267 every single unemployed day. The math and the payback is simple!
If this program shortens your job search by just 6 hours it has more
than paid for itself! ***
But, to celebrate our second-run
printing I am making this product available at the LOW PRICE of just
$147. You may never see the price this low EVER AGAIN.
I will never repeat this ULTRA-LOW PRICE again.
