the wrong way to get a job

If you are a job seeker I am going to give you the most important tip you will ever get for landing a job.

The tip is this: STOP ASKING FOR A JOB!

When you ask for a job, you are asking the company to give you something. You are asking the company to risk time and money on you. This is the REVERSE way it should be. The way you should apply for a job is to tell the company all the ways you will help them so they can either make more money or save money if they hire you. Stop being an expense and prove why you will be profitable to the company. If you want to be paid $50,000 per year plus benefits, you must prove to the company why they will make at least $100,000 or more by hiring you. Justify your wages.

Those of you will take this advice WILL get a great job. Those of you who are looking for a job handout will remain unemployed...as you should be. Stop being an expense. Prove why you create far more financial value than the cost of your wages.

To your success!

Great points there Peter.

I think too many people don't think about it from the company perspective. A company isn't a charity and they are only going to give you a job if it is in their best interests.
