Job-Seeker’s “Tool-Box”
INTRODUCTION
—and—
Welcome to “Dr. Resume’s”
DIY (do-it-yourself)
Job-Seeker’s “Tool-Box”
How does this “Tool-Box” relate to my career goals?
Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary defines it this way:
tool (noun) – 1. anything used as a means of accomplishing a task, or
purpose. (i.e.: Education is a tool for success.)
tool-box (noun) – 1. a box, or case in which tools are kept.
This workbook is a “tool-box” of EDUCATIONAL “tools for success” in YOUR job-search. However, tools are only useful —if they are used. Some tools are used improperly, while other tools are neglected even when they could make your job easier to accomplish. Don’t let that happen with your tools. Use them and they will make a difference in what you accomplish—in your job-search. Be a “winner.”
What does “Dr. Resume” say about this “Tool-Box”?
“Dr, Resume” says, “Using the ‘Tool-Box’ is a formula for success, for job-seeker’s” He has coached hundreds of job-seekers, for more than 2-decades with American Marketing Associates (AMA), and virtually every client who has pondered and practiced (meaning put these tools into play) found the concepts and guidelines provided in this workbook, dramatically helped to make THEM “winners.”
Two very important fundamental-truths apply to every job-search.
First, there is NO magic formula for success. Quite simply, you must NEVER, EVER GIVE UP.
Second, you are ALWAYS in competition, when you are a job-seeker. This fundamental-truth means there will be “winners” and “losers.” The steadying principle is that YOU want to be a “winner.”
The numerous sections of this creative Job-Seeker’s “Tool-Box” need to be read, underlined, and pondered. To gain the maximum edge in your job-search you should be writing notes as your thoughts are stimulated from your research. Finally, you need to PUT THESE TOOLS INTO PRACTICE to help ensure that “You’re Hired.”
How do I use the “Tool-Box” guidelines and concepts?
A quick review of the “tool-box” may give you the impression some of the “tools” are lists of things to do. Well, that is exactly correct. Some of the “tools” are “to-do-lists” and, unfortunately, a problem with “to-do-lists” is—some folks do-NOT-do. The key to success with the “tools” in this box, to use them.
According to the “Dr.” the tools in this book, while not magic, can have a magic-like impact on your job-search, IF YOU TOO, ponder and practice these “prescriptions written for you by “Dr, Resume.” Just like following advice, or using any prescription you receive from a medical Dr., it’s entirely up to you. Are you self-reliant? Do you want to be a “winner?” Then follow “Dr, Resume’s prescriptions” provided in this “tool-box” Do your research, chase down your job-lead sources, go the extra mile, perhaps even two, yet NEVER, EVER GIVE UP until you too are a “winner.”
Where do I begin?
Do you have a well-prepared resume, that clearly identifies your skills, interests and your commendable accomplishments and activities. If so, the next step is to target specific businesses, professions, industries, services, trades, agencies, etc., with your resume and a cover-letter.
How do I plan my “Attack-Strategy?”
Are you currently employed? “NO!” Then you need to commit—NOW—to spending about 6-hours each day, Monday through Friday, in your job-search activity. Let NO other thing, activity, event, interest, telephone call, etc. detract from these hours. Stay committed to success and you WILL be a “winner.”
Are you currently employed? “YES!” Are you trying to make a job, or career change? Great. Then you too need to commit—NOW—to setting aside blocks of time, on specified evenings and Saturdays. As noted above, let NO other thing detract you from these committed hours, until you ARE a “winner.”
To plan an Attack-Strategy—practice these action-steps. They work and are detailed in this “Tool-Box.”
- Develop a Network and identify prospects for Direct Solicitation & Cold Calling.*
- Contact some of the career oriented organizations—listed in this “tool-box”—for more assistance.
- Use the research guidance “tools” herein, to discover job-lead sources for sending your resume to.
- Learn how to do initiate effective follow-up telephone calls to person’s you have sent resumes to.
- Prepare for job-interviews by researching the company. Using the “tools” in this “box” can help.
*Statistically, above all other job-seeking techniques, Networking, Direct Solicitation and Cold-Calling, combined, secure 55% to 65% of all jobs gotten. Do you want to be a “winner?” Then you should use them too.
If you like what you see, go to "Products".

Your job search begins with the resume, which should also include a cover-letter. But where do you get your job-leads? What are "hot" job sources? How do you do "cold-calling & direct solicitation" to find the best job opportunities? How do you get insider data about companies? How do you do networking? /what about salary negotiations? How good is your telephone technique? How do you track job-leads? What do you do following a job-interview, to stlimulate a job-offer? To be fully "armed and ready" for your job-search competition—and you ARE in competition—you really need both of these Workbooks. They contain coaching and guidlineson all of these questions and more.
