Welcome

Welcome to the new home of FindThePerfectJob.com

I'm delighted with my new site but, a bit like moving house, it takes a while to unpack everything and find just the right place to put it. Please bear with us while we settle in here. If you can't find what you need then please drop me an email from the Contact Us link above.

I want a job . . . any job

. . . do you know that thought works against you?

I've worked with hundreds of hirers
and read more than half a million resumes.
What you learn here you won't find anywhere else.

I found your site through a web search and “Find The Perfect Job” was too intriguing to pass up. I was skeptical that the information would be of value since there seems to be so many ‘career coaches’ and most don't have a clue!

I am no longer a skeptic. I have found the reports, the ebook and the webinars to be worth their weight in gold. I am more confident/personable during interviews and feeling that I am actually in control when I do them. My cover letter addresses what is in ad, and identifying what I am looking for and why.

Unemployed, no results, and time drags on

Finding a job is a frightening and tough thing to do these days. There are hundreds of people interested in that same position you’re eyeing.

You’ve got a great background, why wouldn’t you get hired? Send off your resume - so what if it’s a few weeks?

Except it becomes more than that. No reponse to your resume. A few interviews but no offers. More resumes go out, and still nothing happens. You're frustrated, depressed, and money is running out. You think about getting some help, but that costs money.

It can be paralyzing. There are a lot of coaches out there with more popping up all the time. Who will give you results? What if you pay for something and nothing changes?

Lots of coaches with not much knowledge

It costs you valuable funds and depresses you further if you hire the wrong person. Some coaches have successfully transformed their own career - that's not enough. Others have hired people (50 maybe?), but that doesn't make them an expert. Plus, you're getting only their opinion.

They'll teach you what to do, but not how. They'll tell you to sell yourself, but don't know the subtleties or techniques that make selling successful. I'm not talking manipulation or dishonesty, I'm talking about the basic ways in which the human mind and behaviors work.

What if you could learn what's inside the hiring authority's head and put to use techniques and examples that bring you results, and you can begin by simply reading my newsletter articles? It's a long newsletter full of information and it's free.

Learning “what” to do doesn't help if you don't know “how”

Because there's psychology involved. You need to know how the hiring authority thinks. And if what's happening is because of how you're doing it. There are ways to follow up, but not all of them are effective. And networking is only the rage because no one really knows the other three methods of finding a job, (all of which are much more effective), much less how to do them. So networking wins by default.

Finding a job isn't about just finding a job, but with so many coaches, that's all you learn. What happens if you wake up three months later and hate where you work? Learning how to do this step by step - even in a market like this one - is not only possible, it's easy. Knowing the How To of what to do, the strategy, the psychology behind it, while being honest about everything, is the difference between finding a job and continuing to sit at home worrying.

It's the pieces that make up the whole

Learnable factors that make a difference in your outcome, range from your resume to your cover letter to how you follow up, how you interview and what you communicate both verbally and non- verbally. In every single instance, you're either helping your cause....or working against yourself. How do you know if you're working against yourself? By how much is happening . . . or isn't.

It's a buyers' market. If you want to be hired, it's time to learn a new skill - one that will get the money coming in. Subscribing to a free newsletter is a small investment to make for what you'll learn and will use your entire life: how to find a new job and one you love.

If you're sending out resumes and cover letters but getting less than an 80% interest back, there's a problem. What you're doing isn't working. And if you’re depressed, worried, and fearful, that only perpetuates the cycle. Finding a job is a skill and the skills I teach you will remove the obstacles.

By showing you how to, you learn begin to take control of your career. By reading the newsletter articles, you won't be guessing anymore, and gradually you'll see a difference in your results and you'll feel more confident and capable.

All you need to do is re-learn the pieces of the process so you can take charge of it!

Unique counseling and direction from experience

My goal is to teach you the specific skills – including verbage - and the psychology behind those skills. Because you have no idea what you don't know and what it's costing you in this market, until you learn what works more effectively. And that's what the newsletter is about.

You also receive very unique information that you won't find anywhere else - information which will give you the edge, bring results to your search, end your frustration, and give you job search skills that you'll use for the rest of your career.

Plus, there's funny stuff in every issue!

If you want rock solid information, concise, straight talk based on 22 years of working with hundreds of hiring authorities on all leves, then you’re in the right place. If you want to take back your career and see results, then you're in the right place. And all you need to do is subscribe to the free newsletter! Isn't that easy?

Testimonials

Judi: The consultation was helpful, especially the casual conversational tone advice. Any advice along the lines of don’t give up your power is very helpful. You really clarified and reinforced my general perception, and pointed me in a direction. I have shared some of your advice and discussed with others both from the webinar I attended and the consult. I would direct anyone that I felt would benefit your way. You’re a good, straightforward and informed source of advice.

By the way, I have a friend who proofs my cover letters before I send them, so yesterday she reviewed the first one she’s seen since you taught me how to write them. She was absolutely blown away, “This puts every cover letter I’ve ever written to shame. If I got this as a hiring manager, I’d show it to every manager in the office.” To which I replied, “I don’t care if you show it to people, as long as you hire me!” She loved how it was so specific to the ad, etc. – all the things you told me to do! Anyway, just thought you’d enjoy the feedback — she’s a senior level marketing executive, so this was quite a compliment.

This person had 5 days to put together their resume, cover letter, and answers to four tough supplementary questions. We made the deadline. This was their first email after they’d dropped off the application package.

Sheesh! I just dropped my envelope off yesterday and they called me today for an interview! Yahoo! That resume and those supplemental answers must have really impressed them! I interview next week! gosh. Thanks for everything Judi, you really helped me to have confidence as I applied for this job. I’ll keep you posted on any further developments!

and this was her second email

Judi,

I interviewed this morning, they called my references this afternoon, and she just called and offered me the job! I am so excited! I couldn’t be happier! Thanks for all your help.

I only hope I meet someone soon who will need your help so I can recommend you to them. It sounds hokey, but I really feel as though I may have found my perfect job.

Wow. I feel like the luckiest person on the earth.

Hi Judi:

I was amazed at how much useful information was contained in the Special Reports. You manage to keep the info so simple, clear, and concise. They present effective, practical strategies that are set apart from the ordinary self-help information you find on most web sites. It’s obvious that you have the insight and corporate perspective in providing guidance in responding to interview questions and specific situations. I ordered 5, then ordered 5 more and was very pleased with all of them. Looking forward to your newsletter!
