Want to hit the ground running in 2009?

In a tighter job market, it will be those who do things differently who will get noticed.

The front doors of hiring companies will be lined with job seekers doing things the same old way.

The backdoors will be privy to only the savvy.

Are you ready to be savvy?

What if you were armed and extremely dangerous with the best career-transition techniques since jobs began?

Best of all, you can participate in this ground-breaking training from wherever your winter plans take you...as long as you have a phone and a high-speed connection for your laptop!

have to say about this method

Quotes from previous workshop participants:

“I recognize that I have characteristics that have consistently contributed to the successes in my life, whether professional or personal.  This is the ‘essence’ I bring to any situation.  I am learning to recognize, claim, and acknowledge these attributes.”

“I have learned to define myself based on prior successes and enjoyable aspects of job experiences.”

“You have helped me breakdown my responsibilities in ways easier to convey to others and to pull out and own my contributions to each employer.”

“It has helped me to see my skills and talents independent of any particular job or company.”

“It has given me confidence to expand my vision for transferring my skills into new areas and provided a road map to begin pursuing this.”

AN IMMEDIATE SUCCESS STORY!

One participant in a recent class, following the backdoor methods learned, sent out an “approach” letter to a former supervisor who then referred her to another person.  She immediately phone interviewed with a company in Tampa, within days was flown out for a company visit, and within days after that received an offer!  All within a week of finishing the class!

What is this?

I took the same one-on-one career transition process that organizations have paid $5,000 for me to deliver to a single displaced executive and customized it for a group webinar class.  Not only have participants in my group classes benefited from the same process as my individual work, but the dynamics of working with a team makes the whole experience incredibly fulfilling…and fun!  I would like to extend a special invitation for you to be a part of the next Back-Door Career Transition Program 8-week Group Webinar, and I plan to make it more than worth your while.

What does “back-door” mean?

There’s a “front-door” way of making a job change, and it’s what 95% of people do…only because they’re not aware of the power of the back-door, which is less about titles and resumes and “needing a job” and much more about the art and science of masterful relationship management.  Suffice to say that, through the front door, you have to fit a formula.  Through the “back-door,” the formulas don’t apply. 

What does “transition” mean?

The word “transition” means nothing other than change: changing your employment situation from unemployed to employed, from one company to another, from one industry to another, from one job function to another, from one self-employment to another, or just deciding it’s time to go out and really expand that business you already have.

How does it work?

People working with me individually sometimes require 8 or more weeks within which to become equipped to pursue an effective back-door career campaign. Now, we are able to accomplish this with up to 14 people in the same amount of time. I am convinced that tapping into the power of group dynamics and team networking creates even more extraordinary results than one-on-one.

This program, just like the one-on-one career transition program, offers a series of sessions with the following benefits.

You will discover…

• The unique essence you bring to every organization and situation you touch. Through an in-depth “career inventory,” you will see from a macro perspective your personal patterns of success. This is an extremely self-esteem building process where you will understand your “threads” of success, the arc or through-line that permeates your background. This will enable you to develop your unique marketing approach and personal “brand” for your career expansion efforts…whether it be for a new corporate position or even to expand your own business



• How to package your uniqueness in written and spoken form. Critical to standing out in the market is your ability to distinguish yourself from others …because there are many people who have your background, but NOBODY does things just the way you do. So, having a resume or marketing materials as well as a concise, consistent, compelling and charismatic spoken “pitch” that clearly distinguishes you from others gets you noticed from the competition



• Who, Where, and How to target the people and organizations you should connect with. Using the “back-door” method of relationship building, the world literally becomes your “oyster.” Armed with the confidence of what you bring to the table, you will be able to target the people, fields, and organizations to best “research” for career opportunities



• The Back-Door method of career management. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 48% of people get their opportunities based on referrals from friends or relatives. Well, if you cannot increase your relatives by re-marrying or getting adopted, you can always increase your friends! Making the most out of your current relationships by being more effective and “branded” in your networking is an overlooked goldmine. However, even beyond that, the power to create new relationships not based on need or desperation creates an endless resource for lifetime career management. How to write approach letters that result in meetings, and how to turn those meetings into information, relationships, and referrals are critical skills to effectively tapping into “the hidden job market” or other hidden opportunities.

Therefore, the goal of the group program is the same as the individual coaching I’ve done for years--to equip each participant with the tools and understanding to pursue an effective back-door career campaign and a lifetime of systematic career management.

 

What are the details?

--The course begins with Session 1 at 6pm PST/9pm EST on Thursday, Jan. 29,
2009, and will continue for subsequent Thursday evenings until Mar. 19.
There will be a two-week break between Sessions 6 and 7 (no class Mar. 12).

Session 1 Thursday, Jan. 29          5-8pm PST/8-11pm EST

Session 2 Thursday, Feb.  5          5-8pm PST/8-11pm EST

Session 3 Thursday, Feb. 12         5-8pm PST/8-11pm EST

Session 4 Thursday, Feb. 19         5-8pm PST/8-11pm EST

Session 5 Thursday, Feb. 26         5-8pm PST/8-11pm EST

Session 6 Thursday, Mar.  5          5-8pm PST/8-11pm EST

Session 7 Thursday, Mar. 19        5-8pm PST/8-11pm EST

—The course is conducted over 8 weeks, with 3-hour class sessions and 6-8 hours of homework between sessions. The homework is exactly what you would have completed in an individual setting. There will be specific homework to complete before Session 1. You should know that you will put in more work outside of class than you do during the actual sessions and, therefore, need to plan for that extra time in your schedule to realize the full benefit from the course. But this is work you do with pen and paper or on your computer.  And, with the group dynamics in play during the program, and active use of the “buddy” system, the homework will be much more insightful and enjoyable, with another person’s mind and eyes at your disposal (your buddy).

(By the way, did you know that statistics show that a person will generally find their next opportunity in half the amount of time when using a buddy?)

—The venue will be a “webinar” in which all participants will be connected “live” via phone and online presentation.  We will start promptly on the hour according to www.Time.gov.

—I will conduct a one-hour introductory teleseminar on Thursday, Jan. 22, 6pm PST/9pm EST for all participants to get acquainted, distribute homework to be completed before Session 1 (one week later), and set mutually agreed upon guidelines.

—The webinar will be recorded for playback and review of participants, and perhaps to create an information product.  If a product is created from this webinar, all precautions to protect confidentiality of participants will be ensured and participants will be given full and final right to  approve any ultimate recordings developed. All participants will receive their own free copy of any information product ultimately created.

I am extending an invitation to you to join us in this exciting program. It promises to give you the same training on effective career management that has cost others $5,000 for only $1,597. 

That is a 68% savings! You will get the very same career search education as others who have paid 3 times that amount, yet you’ll have the bonus benefit of group interaction and support!

 

THIS COURSE IS LIMITED TO THE FIRST 14 REGISTRANTS.

THERE ARE ONLY 14 SEATS!
A WAITING LIST WILL BE COMPILED FOR THE NEXT COURSE

IN ORDER OF REGISTRATION.

And because I'm so certain that this course will explode your career options in 2009, I am going to include several bonuses to whet your appetite and make it overly worth your while:

• BONUS #1:  For all “new” clients who register for this course, I will offer a $100 discount on a 1½ to 2 hours Career Review Session ($197 value) to take place before the course begins.  This is how I begin my relationship with all new career coaching clients, and this will give us an opportunity to determine the areas you would like to develop and expand upon in the course. After the session, there will be a written summary of What’s Working, What Needs Attention, and What Next Steps need to be considered in your career.  This session alone generates enormous insights for clients.

• BONUS #2: For those who register by Dec. 31, New Year's Eve, I will offer a special “Early Bird” discount of $250 to be applied immediately to the tuition of the course.
  


• BONUS #3:  Included in the tuition will be 3 months of follow-up Group Weekly Planning & Polish Sessions to support the ongoing refinement of principles learned in the course as well as to provide an environment of team support.
  


• BONUS #4:  I will include a copy of my award-winning book, Headhunters Revealed! Career Secrets for Choosing and Using Professional Recruiters. This book exposes the insides of recruiting so individuals can reap the most rewards from this valuable avenue of job change. Written by a 14-year search-industry veteran, it gives the scoop on executive search and provides lifetime tips for commanding the attention and 'career partnership™' of professional recruiters. Top careers professionals, Publishers Weekly, and the American Library Association agree: Headhunters Revealed! is “A welcome resource”--a must read for your personal career development library.  More Info
  


• BONUS #5:  Because I believe managing your “energy” in your career search (more mental than physical) is so important, I will also include a copy of a phenomenal book that has made a difference in thousands of lives, Law of Attraction. This book has given many clients tangible tools for ongoing management of their mind so as to attract the situations and results they want.  More Info


• BONUS #6:  Having attended a program that focuses specifically on the mental and emotional dimensions of creating success and wealth, I will even provide you a “shocking offer” to attend T. Harv Eker’s 3-Day “Millionaire Mind Intensive,” usually costing $1295, absolutely free.  I'll even support you to bring a spouse or partner with you for no extra cost!  More Info

• Money-Back Guarantee: If after Session #2 you are not satisfied with the program, receive your money back--no questions asked! (and keep the bonuses)

Yes, that means you get the full 8-week course and all of these bonuses for only $1,250 if you are one of the first to reserve your spot before New Year's Eve!   But remember: this course has a proven track record and will fill up fast…AND NOW is the best time of the year to have it under your belt!

Just consider the potential returns on this investment:

What if you land your next position or contract even one month sooner? 

What if you are actually working in a job you love before the end of the class?

 

What if you finally become an entrepreneur and open up your own business...or drastically expand the one you already have?

What if you avoid taking a path along your career search that would take up time and money?

What if you make even one new connection in your backdoor campaign, much less with participants in the course itself, that offers you insight, information, and/or a relationship that completely alters your career path?

 

Lastly, if you are not working right now, how much do you think it's costing you to NOT be employed? The rule of thumb is this: take your last annual salary in tens of thousands, double it, then add a zero and you get the weekly compensation you are NOT receiving! Even a modest salary of $50K turns out to cost you $1000 a week in lost wages! If this course moves you into your next position even a week earlier than would have happened on your own, the program will have paid for itself AND THEN SOME even before the first two weeks on the job are done! You'll have learned where the bathroom is and recouped your investment all at the same time!

And do not forget, job search expenses are deductible to a certain extent on your tax return. (Ask your accountant.)

Lastly, I am still available to offer the more personal guidance of the one-on-one program to anyone interested. Sometimes this individual approach is necessary based on scheduling and the need for more one-on-one attention, and always well worth the investment. But, for those who want to benefit from the education while participating in a more social group setting, this course is ideal…and will never be at a better investment price!
