Hub You - Get Yourself Back into the Career Driving Seat

You must change the way you think about your career, so you can get back in the driving seat.

How can you do that?

Your Attitude is Everything

Everyone goes on about positive mental attitude, don’t they? But what does it mean?

To some extent we can all have some influence over what happens to us, so try to hold an attitude of expecting things to go right

If we expect things to go badly they probably will.

If we expect things to go well they’re more likely to.

So even if everything doesn’t go right we can get past the things that go wrong so much easier. This is what I mean by positive mental attitude.

So Change the Way You Think

• Instead of thinking they’re in charge, why not try ‘I’m in charge’
• Instead of waiting to be chosen, decide what you want and present some proposals;
• Instead of dreading interviews, think of yourself influencing key decision-makers;
• Instead of scouring the adverts, read them as sources of inside information;
• Instead of worrying about vacancies, think of them as needs waiting to be met;
• Instead of having to accept the offered terms, think how you can negotiate;
• Instead of them getting what they want, you both get what you want.

Job banks, search engines, job listings, and job guides are all useful tools in your employment search; however they won’t find you the unadvertised jobs. Statistics show that perhaps up to 60% of all jobs are unadvertised and are found informally - that is to say through networking and the direct approach - so the unadvertised jobs are what you really need to uncover.

You can uncover these unadvertised jobs and get back into the driving seat by putting together a carefully crafted direct approach letter.

This direct approach is no more and no less than a ‘marketing’ exercise to a specifically qualified target audience. It is NOT a mail-shot and certainly NOT ‘speculative’ letters that some people would have you waste your time writing.

Compared to a direct approach letter, the speculative letter or mail-shot is a complete waste of time, effort and possible opportunity. Find out how to write the most effective direct letter at http://www.your-career-change.com/Direct-Approach.html

If you're not sure of the Answers go to Want to Brand? Well, Tell a Story!
The Art of Storytelling (eg. 'Branding')A few years ago at a conference for a large, multi-national corporation, I sat and waited for the keynote speaker. She was described in the program as a woman with all the appropriate credentials. At the podium, she said she forgot the notes for her speech and she would tell a story instead.The grey suited crowd shifted in their chairs, glanced left and right at each other. She began by asking for the lights to be turned down and for all of us to close our eyes. She then told a story about a young girl who had lost her imagination and, if she was to survo.

If you're not sure of the Answers go to Words That Compel Your Customers To Buy From You
When you sit down to compose your ad copy keep in mind that all the best copy writers will tell you to be sure to use those “special key” words that will influence your customer to buy. Years of marketing research has been done, and will continue to go on for years to come in the never ending quest for those targeted advertising ways to get us to buy, especially from some one we do not know. Though from time to time the words or their effectiveness may change slightly for the most part there seems to be those standard over used ones that we keep buying into, even if the product we buy is not exactly up to our expectations of what we thought we were buyinof them as needs waiting to be met;

If you're not sure of the Answers go to How to Save Money by Making Your Own Sign
In the sign industry we commonly refer to the material that the sign is made out of as the substrate. Examples include, wood, vinyl banners, aluminum, coroplast, etc. But what many customers do not realize is that they can purchase vinyl lettering or vinyl decals and apply them directly to typical substrates themselves. Translation – saving money by buying blank substrates inexpensively at local hardware stores such as Home Depot and Lowes and avoiding the prices sign companies need to charge to apply the material. Although you do pay tax by buying locally on the substrate, you can save tax on the vinyl by ordering over the internet.What are vhese unadvertised jobs and get back into the driving seat by putting together a carefully crafted direct approach letter.
