Job Hunting
in the 21st
Century:
Using Technology for
Career Search
AdvantagesAn Applicant’s Ultimate Tool to Getting
‘Behind the Recruiters Wall’ for the Career
Seeker’s Advantage in Job Searches
Before you spent thou$ands
• This video is provided as an alternative to spending
gobs of money you can’t afford for a career assistance
company to rewrite your resume, provide mass-mailings
of hard-copy resumes, and interview training and
feedback, all to pay their huge overhead for fancy offices
in high-rises and office buildings.
• The goal for this richly informative training is to provide
all you need for a job search – using the skills and
knowledge you already have and will learn to use here,
to find that ‘next great job’ – and at a cheaper price!

WARNING!
• This presentation (and other training modules) is not
packed with graphics – BUT you get the most amount of
data possible in a short time period for impactful, valuable,
educational, and useful information.
• Because of lack of pretty pictures, it might be ‘boring’ to
your eyes (e.g., painful to sit and ‘watch’), BUT it is ear
candy for the amount of incredible, valuable, information
• Sit back in a comfy chair – get your pen ready for notes.

Develop a Plan!
• Every trip worth making begins with a goal
• Every trip worth taking has a map to follow
• Successful businesses have a strategic
short- and long-term plan
• Treat your job search as a ‘strategic
business goal’
…Job Searches and Career Planning
should be NO DIFFERENT!
