Guerrilla Job Search Secrets of the Homeless Man with the Golden Voice
I wanted to pass this on its by Kevin Donlin. Enjoy!
Maybe you've heard the "golden voice" of YouTube sensation, Ted Williams ..
He's the formerly homeless, formerly unemployed man who was hired --
literally off the street -- by the Cleveland Cavaliers for his dream job as
an announcer. Other job offers are still pouring in from around the country.
If you're unemployed, you can learn a lot from Ted Williams' Guerrilla Job
Search.
Here's why ...
No social worker on earth would say to a homeless person, "You know what you
need to do? Go stand in traffic with a sign and talk like a radio DJ to
every person you meet."
Ted could have followed conventional advice -- gone to his local workforce
center or library, waited to use the free computers, and applied online for
advertised jobs. And he would still be unemployed.
Luckily, Ted Williams is a natural born Guerrilla Job Hunter.
He did four simple things, which you can do, too ...
1) Ted got out of the house and met people
If there's one advantage to being homeless in a job search, it's this: You
can't avoid meeting people.
By contrast, unemployed people with homes often go to great lengths to avoid
people. They sit at home, in front of the computer, zapping out resumes by
email and feeling productive. But that's usually a pointless waste of time.
Instead, Ted was out in the game, every day, meeting and telling people
about the job he wanted. And he met just the right person -- a reporter who
told his story. The rest is history.
You never know who you will meet on the street. That person ahead of you in
line at 7-Eleven, or sitting next to you at Starbucks, may be a VP at your
dream employer. Of course the chances of meeting your dream employer on the
street this week are small. But your chances are ZERO if you stay at home
and never get out.
Burning questions:
* Do you know EXACTLY what job you want to do? There are plenty of homeless
(and "homed") people looking for "any job" ... and they struggle for months.
* How many people have you talked to this week about your job? How do you
know? What is your quota?
2) Ted didn't use an ordinary resume
You can't get much less ordinary than Ted's "resume" -- it was handwritten,
in magic marker ... on a piece of cardboard. The first line read, "I have a
God given gift of voice."
That's ... extraordinary.
Not recommended for most people, who should print their resume on paper and
hand-deliver it to hiring managers, if possible. But a great idea starter.
More importantly, Ted didn't waste weeks revising his resume until it was
"perfect."
Burning questions:
* How many ordinary resumes have you sent to employers?
* If you're not yet ready, how much longer will you wait for your resume to
be "perfect" before sending it out? And how many jobs have you missed out on
in the meantime?
3) Ted didn't interview, he performed
When most job seekers get an interview, they retell success stories from
their past, hoping employers will take a leap of faith and hire them. Bleh.
Ted performed for anyone who would listen. His first "interview" -- the
YouTube video that made him famous overnight -- didn't feature him begging
for a job. No, he was DOING THE JOB in that video interview. Big difference.
Burning questions:
* How can you perform your most-employable skills at a moment's notice?
* If you're in sales, you can pick up a phone book and make cold calls.
* If you're a designer, you can draw on napkin.
* A teacher can deliver a memorable 5-minute lesson.
* A customer service manager can pose as a customer, call his target
employer, and analyze their phone service.
You get the idea -- there is NO job that cannot be performed in an
interview. Because, if you're hired you will have to perform anyway. Why
wait?
4) Ted kept a positive outlook
Yes, your situation may be dire. You may have been jobless for months or
years. You may have troubles with your finances, family, or health.
But you probably won't be sleeping under a highway overpass tonight.
So do what it takes to greet the world with a smile. It's the fastest way to
make the best impression on anyone. And it doesn't cost a dime.
If Ted, a homeless, recovering alcoholic/addict, can be unfailingly polite
and positive in his dealings with others, so can you. Just watch his video
on YouTube, if you haven't already.
Still not able to stay positive? Fine -- fake it for just 30 minutes
tomorrow. Get out of the house. Meet one person. Talk to them about your
job. Perform your skill. Do it with a smile.
After that, you can go home and scowl for the rest of the day. At least
you'll have a home to go to.
Bottom line: If you get out, meet people, send an extraordinary resume, and
"perform" in a positive way -- like Ted Williams -- you may find a job, too.
Or the job may find you.
That's the Guerrilla way.

You must ask questions
Okay, you have made it to the end of your interview and the interviewer says, “Do you have any questions for me?” And of course you have questions: “How did I do” and “Are you going to hire me”, but you can’t ask these questions. However, there are a few questions that you can ask that will help you see how you did and to determine if the company is right for you. Although it is not acceptable to ask how you did in your interview, it is okay to ask what the next steps are and the time line for them. Depending on how this is answered, you may be able to determine if they felt you were right for the position or not. But this is not full-proof or guaranteed. If they take the time to explain all the checks they need to go through, how many people they have left to interview and so on, they are probably interested and want you to understand that there is still steps left in the process. If they only tell you that you will hear from them within a certain period of time, well that does not sound very promising.
Look at the opportunity to ask your own questions as your chance to interview the
the company to see if they are a fit for you too. Of course you did your research before you went to the interview and have made up a list of questions before attending. Show them how interested and prepared you are and pull out your list of questions. Things like the companies direction and expansion will show you are interest in the business. Take notes; it can earn you brownie points. Ask questions that are important to you as well, like vacation time and benefits if they are a deal breaker for you, find out now what the company has to offer upfront.

I can't believe I said that. I blew it!
What if you just bombed an interview? You've got to bounce back from that bombed interview. Don't let the fact that you blew it in an interview stop you from acing the next one. The consequence of not giving the right answer could be disastrous especially when you were interviewing for a job you really wanted . But don't sweat it we have prepared some simple tips on how you can ace the next one. Here are a few job interview questions and answers of some of the most commonly asked interview questions so that you can prepare.
Why are you the best person for the job? With this question it is best to match your strengths and accomplishments directly to the requirements and duties of the job you are applying for.
Why are you leaving your job? Obviously, no one would be thinking about leaving a job that they are contented and comfortable with. Nevertheless, you do not have to confess all you shortcomings to the interviewer.
Now you know you are doing good if they ask you, “how would you react if I told you that your interview has been horrible so far?” Stop for a moment and really think how you want to react. Then think about the question again because the most important word in the question is “if”'. The real answer to this question is your response to it. They want to see how you react under stress. They are trying to throw you off balance so don't let it happen.
Job interviews are going to be stressful even for job seekers who have gone on many of them. So don't sweat it just take time to review some "standard" interview questions. This will help you be more prepared so you won't be so nervous and increase your confidence level. Also, when you are being asked the questions take time to think them through and if you absolutely don't know the answer just say so.

Oops, they saw that?
Don't be the person who says, "I can't believe I did something so stupid." Social media and the internet as a whole is an awesome tool if you use it properly. Yet, the down fall is that it makes what ever you put on it available for the world to see (and I do mean the world).
Think twice before uploading another photo or status update if you are going for a job interview. Even a current employer may see because they are watching you more than you think. While social media can be fun it can ruin a career in a heart beat. Read this article I found and you will see what I am talking about. job hunters hired and rejected by the (Face)book

Job search tips to help you get hired in 2011
If you want to get hired in 2011 there is one area of the interview process that you need to pay attention to that is sometimes overlooked, follow up. Many people have stellar resumes and do great on interviews but they do very poor follow up. There are 3 times that you must follow up to make a great impression with your potential employer.
Follow up after you send your resume and cover letter to a potential employer There are many things that can happen with mail or email these days. So if you don't hear from a company you send your resume to please follow up. Mail and emails get lost and with spam being so common many letter are sent to spam by a server and may never be recovered. So when you send your resume wait a day or 2 and follow up. Call that potential employer and make sure they received your information. Some will say to just send another resume but calling will give you an opportunity to meet that hiring manager if you have not already and stand out from the crowd
Follow up after your interview with a thank you letter. Too many job seekers miss this one. Do this as soon as you get home from the interview if possible. This will give you an opportunity to have your interview fresh in your mind so you won't forget to mention something from the interview that makes you stand out. You must find every opportunity to create a pleasant memory in the interviewers mind about you. It also shows that you really do give a darn about the position.
Follow up if you don't get the job. This is a tough one because your ego may be a little bruised from not being the chosen one. I know its hard not to take the interview process personal but don't. You never know why they chose someone else and guess what maybe they just put the position on hold for a while. This is important because you never know you could have been the company's second choice. What if the person that was hired can't start or quits for some reason. Things like this happen all the time. No matter what this would place you fresh in their mind in case they do need you. So be nice and thank them for taking the time to interview you, and let them know that you want them to keep you in mind for any future positions that open up.
These three types of follow ups can greatly enhance your results and help you to stand out from the other applicants and hopefully get you hired
