Flip A Rock, Find A Job

Flip A Rock, Find A JobFlip A Rock, Find A JobIm going to tell you something you already know..The job hunt can be frustrating, challenging, and scary.Lets face it, its not something you ever really aspired to get good at, and frankly, maybe you feel like youre not very good at it right now.Thats OK, and its OK to be concerned with getting through this tough parte of yur life.For the next few months and weeks, youll be looking for that great job (or, if youve already hopped on one of the more than 35,000 jobs weve published this year, perhaps you only have days left?)And youll put in a ton of effort, go through high highs and, let me be honest with you, more than a couple low lows, as you wend your way through this hunt for your next place of employment.Thats not an easy prospect to face. Wondering where youll hang your hat next. Worrying about the bills. Sitting across the dining room table from the love of your life and trying to hide the pain and humiliation you sometimes feel whe n those bad days come on in a bad way.So I want you to know that I understand what youre going through.And I also want you to know.. I need you to know, really. one more thingYou will make it through to the other side. You will meet with success. You will find your next great job.The surprising thing, actually, is that it is out there right now. A hiring manager, a recruiter, a Board, has decided that they need someone. Someone just like you.And your job, and, truth be told, my job, is to help you find that sucker as htte nicht viel gefehlt as we can its what youve hired me to do. (Thanks, by the way)Unfortunately, even in these days of the internet, even in these days of the most fantastic information sorting and slicing and dicing machines ever invented in the history of this planet, its going to take some elbow grease and hard work.From both of us.I promise you that I, and your gruppe of four dozen high-end job-scouring professionals here at Ladders.com, will do everything in ou r power to help you.And you need to do yours.That job that I mentioned up above? Its out there. Right now. And in fact, there are probably a couple dozen dream jobs looking for you at the moment.The dicke bretter bohren mssen is this how are we going to find it? It might as well be under a jupe someplace, cause it sure is hidden from our view. How in Hades are we going to find it?There are some 20,000 headhunters out there, and perhaps another 100,000 recruiting specialists in HR departments across the US. How are we going to find which of those 120,000 folks needs you? How are we going to overturn the right rock?Well, thats where we at Ladders.com come in. We go out each week and collect as many rocks as we can for you. From headhunters, from corporate recruiters, from hiring managers themselves.And we bring back all those great $100K-plus rocks, er.. jobs. (And, by the way, we throw out any that dont pay more than $100,000 youre not interested in them and neither are we.)You see, unlike job boards, unlike the local newspaper, unlike the headhunting firms we wont accept money from people looking to hire our great subscribers.Thats because we work for you, the job-seeker. And our goal is to get all those fantastic $100K+ jobs into your hot little hands as quickly as possible. By not charging the employers, we get to see more $100K+ jobs than any other resource on the entire planet.So our job is to go out and collect the rocks. (Almost 5,000 new ones this week alone)Your job, dear Reader, is to look under them.And I cant tell you which rock your dream job is hiding under, so it is going to take that little bit of elbow grease on your part. Youll probably need to look under 100 or more rocks (thats 100 or more applications) to find it.But the sooner, and more thoroughly, you get through this part, the faster youll get to the really good part showing up at your first day in the new office at your great new job.Your team here at Ladders has been in this busines s for the better part of a decade now, and weve seen it all. From our days at HotJobs.com (I was SVP, Finance Operations) to today, weve seen thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people go through the job hunt successfully.So, even on those days when you feel like youll never get another job, that youre too inexperienced or too experienced, youre too specialized or too much of a generalist, youre too eager or youre too laidback about getting your next job, I can tell one thing for certain You will land that next great job.You will succeed.And well be there with you.So get on it, folks.Today. This morning. Right now.Its Monday, the last day of February in 2005, the last day for you to make a great impression on employers in this month of groundhogs and chocolates and Presidents.

I am recruiting for a Business Development Directors standort in Manhattan. I am receiving resumes from several sources. I started refining the list this morning from about 30 to 6 potential candidates. All of the final 6 came through SalesLadder. It looks like you have put together a good service.Doug BatchelorDoug BatchelorOwner General ManagerExpress Personne l ServicesBy the way, folks, we dont actually solicit this feedback from people, you all just seem to write in with such kind, kind things to say about us (Actually, I think Id be pretty depressed if my marketing team *were* writing these testimonials and the best they could come up with is you have put together a good service ??And you know what else is great? We really love it when a subscriber turns around and becomes a job posterI thought MarketingLadder was really great. It put me in spur with more real opportunities than any other jobsite I looked at during my search. I liked it so much, that I am using it now to build the marketing team at my new companyBob EgnerWashington Depot, CTThanks for the rocks, BobAnd yet anotherHi MarcI just wanted to say that salesladder.com is an outstanding service. I recently landed a great Job in the Boston area through SalesLadder. I have been at this job for exactly one month and it has been great, great people, great boss etcI am a Sales Man ager with a regional company. This position has kept me closer to home (less travel) and I will make (at plan) well into six figures.I will be honest and say that I didnt think that internet job searches worked, but Im glad that I stumbled (literally) onto your website. I only had the basic service (because like I said I didnt believe in it) but it really worked.So for anyone out there who is skeptical, it worked for me. ThanksBest regards,Chris Howard, Nahant, MAJust imagine, folks, if Chris had been turning over ALL the rocks in SalesLadder, and two weeks earlier to boot how much quicker would he have landed? Just think how much quicker *you* will get thereThanks again, Readers, and do feel free to hit reply and write on inLadders.COM ON SAN DIEGO AND MIAMI TVFolks, check out our latest segments in our recruiter outreach program heres me on local TV in San Diego and MiamiLANDEDFM.COMA cool new internet resource, Landedfm.com is the first Internet radio Web site venture committed exclusively to mid-career professionals.Were always in favor of new information sources on the internet, and you can listen to my interview with LandedFM here (third item).
