Eight
Steps to a Highly Successful Work Search Process
by:
Eric Julian Glanville
Introduction
I
have been asked to write a series of short articles
about the Independent Work Search process, based on a
popular seminar that I've presented to numerous
audiences over the last few years. The seminar, in case
you're wondering, is based on my own personal
experience. So, be thankful – the only other person
who gets to hear these stories is my shrink.
My
primary goal in this process is to get you fired from
your job.
Let
me explain. Your current job (if you haven't noticed)
is looking for a job. I'll bet you're damn good at
it, too. In fact, if you're anything like me, your
innate drive for excellence has led you to develop a
regimen of job search habits that would make Anthony
Robins weep with pride and joy. In other words: you've
become your own worst enemy. You see, you've
probably spent your entire adult life learning how to
hold onto a job as long as possible. In contrast, the
work search process is a position from which you must
learn to get yourself fired – and quickly. This is not
an adjustment that is easily or rapidly made. Which is
why I'm here. In the next few pages I will
describe the Eight Steps to a Highly Effective Work
Search. This system helped me to develop a network of 45
key players at more than 15 major organizations. But
more importantly, it got me unceremoniously fired from
my job of looking for a job. Which was just fine with me
– the pay sucked and the lunchroom conversation was
pathetic.
Step
1: Determine your target field and position.
