1

00:00:05,490 --> 00:00:10,160

Art cool so in this module we're basically going to upgrade your thinking about job hunting and how



2

00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,740

the labor market works generally with two examples.



3

00:00:13,790 --> 00:00:19,310

So at the end of this module you should see more clearly how this whole system works and you're going



4

00:00:19,310 --> 00:00:25,490

to see why preparing on the front end is going to save you time give you access more opportunities more



5

00:00:25,490 --> 00:00:28,830

money and ultimately give the power back to you.



6

00:00:28,870 --> 00:00:30,290

So let's take case one.



7

00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,260

So in this case John has recently graduated from college.



8

00:00:33,260 --> 00:00:38,580

He's feeling really good about his degree as a lot of people do and he goes out quickly prepares a resume



9

00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,840

maybe a cover letter and submits 50 applications.



10

00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:42,770

So he's feeling good.



11

00:00:42,770 --> 00:00:48,160

Waiting for them to get back on the response and he finds out that he has a zero percent success rate.



12

00:00:48,170 --> 00:00:52,910

So at the beginning of the story John was starting off feeling like Superman at the end of it he's feeling



13

00:00:52,910 --> 00:00:54,030

more like a worm.



14

00:00:54,110 --> 00:00:56,430

So now let's take the second story of Mark.



15

00:00:56,450 --> 00:01:03,380

Now in this case Mark goes to use a resource like easel to prepare his messaging his resumes cover letter



16

00:01:03,380 --> 00:01:04,230

his Linked-In.



17

00:01:04,340 --> 00:01:08,450

He started to network and he knows that the jobs are just going to take him a little while.



18

00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:14,090

So right from the outset he's prepared he's got all of his assets ready and he deploys them out to the



19

00:01:14,100 --> 00:01:17,190

same 50 applications that John had made.



20

00:01:17,210 --> 00:01:18,630

And the first example.



21

00:01:19,010 --> 00:01:23,960

The difference is that in the case of Mark because he was well-prepared he's networking he's using tools



22

00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:27,900

like Job Search CRM instead of getting a zero percent success rate.



23

00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:33,890

He's got more like a 15 percent success rate on those applications converting into interviews.



24

00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:39,320

So as he goes on and he takes those interviews let's say that two or three of them convert into job



25

00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:40,210

opportunities.



26

00:01:40,220 --> 00:01:44,750

So now Mark has choice and even though it might have taken him three months to get through all those



27

00:01:44,750 --> 00:01:49,480

interviews he now has three job opportunities where John is back at square one.
