Method

Most people will launch their job search by writing a resume. Rick stands by his statement that you are starting in the wrong place. You begin your job search by first taking a personal accomplishments inventory. You would never think to launch a retail business without stocking the shelves. Why would it be any different when you prepare to sell yourself? (And for those of you who think that job search has nothing to do with sales--quit fooling yourself!)

The accomplishments worksheet

Rick's one-on-one clients know the Accomplishment's Worksheet is not negotiable. This very personal and powerful document not only prepares you to create a highly effective resume it also prepares you about 60% for your telephone and in-person interviews. In Rick's presentations he explains what comprises the remaining 40% necessary to land the job. And the bonus lies in the fact that by learning the Accomplishments Worksheet you have gained a lifelong career-enhancing skill.

 The short-form (pre-resume™) & the traditional resume

One of Rick's 'claims to fame' is his invention of the Pre-Resume™. This one-page document is recruiter friendly and designed to navigate resume screening software like no other resume. Know what a "media tease" is? That's when the radio or TV host "teases" you with what is coming up after the commercial break. The Short-Form resume essentially serves the same purpose. Anticipate a recruiter calling and asking for more information. Remember "You are not looking for a job. You are looking for a phone call!"
