We all know the Traditional Job Hunting Strategy: write your
resume, read the want-ads, mail out resumes and spread the word
that you're looking. Go on as many interviews as you can, be
able to explain where you see yourself in five years and what
your biggest weakness is, and wait by the phone. Somebody will
call you. Eventually.
In today's dollars that strategy is worth, oh, about $0.45.
That's the cost of the paper you printed your resume on, the
envelope and the stamp. Well, maybe it amortizes out to a
buck-fifty or so. After all, you used Crane's Bond and hired a
resume writer. Had it printed on a 2,540 dpi Linotronic. Maybe
you stapled that baby to the top of a box of pizza and sent it
to a prospective (and hopefully hungry) employer using the Next
Day Singing Gorilla Delivery Service. And oh, yeah, you read the
number one best-selling job hunting guide written by that famous
human resources expert who has a Ph.D. in Counseling Science,
earns $85,000 filing resumes for Superfluous Systems, Inc., and
gets paid whether you win a new job or not. You know the guy --
his grandfather invented the Traditional Job Hunting Strategy
everyone uses.
Hey, it's a desperate market. You do what you've gotta do. You
spend what you've gotta spend. How about $30,000?
Thirty grand!? (And you thought you were spending a lot
on that Singing Gorilla!)
Who could possibly know anything about matching people up with
jobs that's worth $30,000?
