1. Getting The Upper Advantage No Matter The Odds By: Anthony
Hines
2. Who Am I.I am a hardworking guy who, like many others, found
himself out of work during the economic downturn in 2010. After a
long battle of wrong turns, job search strategies that led to no
where, and dead end leads, I decided to take a more strategic
approach to my job search. Like anything else in life, I needed to
treat my search like a full- time job and create a plan that would
allow me to stand out above the competition. Why Am I Sharing What
Helped Mebecause I quickly realized that to handle an event like
that is to focus on what you can control and share the experience
to help others. I believe that an experience not shared is a lost
opportunity in life, and that smart people learn from their
mistakes and smarter people learn from other peoples
experiences.
3. BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING MORE. Get Your Resume Checked Email
your resume to [email protected] and tell them I sent
you. That way you will get a free comprehensive and detailed report
of how your resume looks and flows. Go for it because without a
great resume, you have no chance of getting any job much less a
great job. The turnaround is quick and the service is stellar. Read
My Job Search Tip Document First . These are the Free documents
that tell you everything that I did to get activity &
visibility in my search. Email me at [email protected] and I will
send you them.
4. The next group of slides will discuss some of the things I
went though in my own search and why I continue to create job
search presentations that look at all the aspects of the job search
process. I will tell you the tip or idea and let you know why I
like it to help you in dealing with the process. Remember, I am by
no means a professional and never claim to be. I am just giving you
things as I see them to help you to see through the fog and get
ahead in your career. I hope my ideas help you out and help me to
end unemployment one person at a time.
5. Why do I keep creating more presentations? Very simple. I
get an idea about the job search process that is not being
discussed enough and think that maybe my ideas will help someone.
Some are better than others I am sure but I bet many people have
gotten help from these.
6. What do I try to do different in my chapters? In the job
search process, many people have no problem taking your money and
giving you nothing while promising the world. I make all of my
presentations free because it should be.
7. What drives me? I will never forget that feeling that I felt
when I was told I was losing my job and that is what drives me to
continue to help people. People stop calling and people just go on
with their lives after the lay off ends. I dont because I want to
share all the information I have to help others get out of
transition.
8. What really bothered me during the process? I, like many
people who have been laid off, was very successful at any position
I was ever at and went I lost my job, I felt that so much of what I
had built had been lost forever. I realized that not only can I
build it again but, in fact, much of what I thought was gone, live
on at my former companies.
9. What else am I try trying to do here? I am trying to help
people who really feel at a loss about this process and are pretty
down thinking that they cannot get out of this cycle. That is not
true but someone needs to keep telling you that. So many people
tell me that they download my stuff and read it over and over again
and refocus. That is what I am trying to do here.
10. Whats in it for me? Well, every time that someone is helped
out by my docs and presentations, it helps to take a negative event
in my life and turn it positive. Yes, it kind of a karma thing but
really that is whats in my head.
11. What about the links to other products? Look, my stuff is
all free and yes I give you links to free and paid stuff because I
feel this stuff is useful, a good value and could help you out. You
dont have to buy anything but in my opinion you need to invest in
yourself within this process to help you get a job. Not everything
in life is free but my info is.
12. Why are my experiences better than someone elses? They are
not. They are just my experiences. I tell you lots of info because
remember that you are only looking for one job and you only need a
few of my tips to work for you. That said, it doesnt hurt to have
all of my experiences to help you get through this.
13. What is an underrated part of the process? I believe that
the aloneness and the overall loneliness of this process can be
really devastating to a persons self-esteem. Thats why I write the
presentations the way I do. This way it is like I am sitting right
next to you and talking with you.
14. What is my outlook? I, like many people, have been through
many challenges in my life and those challenges have made me who I
am. Where I am different is that I try to share those experiences
with others so that they do not have to go through that challenge.
I believe that makes the experience more valued.
15. What was my day to day outlook during my job search? I
believed that every day was going to be the day that I got the call
for an interview or for a meeting or something so I was always on.
It was on me to be ready for that call.
16. Want to learn more about how I think and who I am with all
of the passion behind it? Check out my Youtube video which is
located at youtu.be/qjafZOO_GcI?a Read my other presentations which
are discussed in my Jobsearch A to Z presentation which is located
at http://bit.ly/1F1mkdc
17. Did I ever think that my documents and presentations would
become so popular? I didnt waste time worrying about how big the
stuff would become because I was focused on trying to help the
individual and trying to close that gap through all of the
different chapters. It gets big if it gets big. That is not in my
control. Only my efforts are in my control and I embrace that.
Thousands and thousands of people seem to agree.
18. Do I have any idea how many people that this stuff has
actually helped? I have no idea other than what I get via feedback.
I wonder sometimes how many have really found that my stuff has
made a difference because I have spent many hours on these
presentations and documents so I hope that all of that time spent
has led to something of value. I think that it has but that doesnt
stop me with coming up with new chapters as I think of them. Please
use my tips for yourself and if you can, spread the word to anyone
you know who could use this info as I really do want to end
unemployment one person at a time.
19. Got great professional skills and experience that you can
share with a company that needs help? You may want to consider
Maven. This company has a list of many requests for information or
experience that maybe you could answer and pick up some cash on the
side while doing it. Plus, you can tell your friends about it and
make some cash if they signup . Check out this link for more
information. http://app.maven.co/join/9aQ5VKpU#sthash.

20. I want to reiterate that I am not a professional and only
providing you with things I did that helped me out during my own
job search. I do these presentations because the job search process
has a lot to do with attitude and outlook. Thats on you. Excuses
are for losers. Be a winner and take charge. You can do it because
you have done it before I bet. Make sure you individualize any all
of the information provided on this or any of my presentations. My
ideas are to guide you and help you to understand concepts.

total, including many recruiters, go to

from recruiters, you may not want to sign up and believe me it
doesnt stop. They keep coming. Now if you want that type of traffic
and want many more contacts guaranteed, please use the above link
for quick service.

ways to gain an advantage in your job search, then my hours of work
to help the unemployed one person at a time has been a success.

procrastination. Go for it.
