...and then I painted the garage.: finding the best job in the least amount of time

Going through a job search can be a very difficult experience. Convincing a potential employer you, more than any other job seeker, are the right fit for their organization requires effort. How do you do that? How do you decide what jobs to target, write the right resume, convince the interviewer you are the best individual, and deal with the stress of rejection? You may be one of many people (sometimes thousands) who can do the job. In our rapidly changing world where skills can quickly become outdated, outsourcing sends jobs to other parts of the country or overseas, and employers have become more difficult to satisfy. How do you get to be the one selected? When people ask themselves these and other questions regarding age, experience, education, industry experience etc., they often become discouraged. No one wants to be unwanted (unless they don't really want the job). So, the trick is to stay focused and motivated and to communicate your value to your employer of choice. The title for this book comes from an individual I worked with many years ago While it might seem like a great time to catch up on fixing the plumbing or painting the guest bedroom, there is a danger that these kinds of activities can interfere with the healing and renewal of energy that come from getting focused and meeting people. In an extreme case, one individual only started his search after hepainted several rooms and his unfinished garage.
