Hire Your Own VIP Personal Search Agent
Hire Your Own VIP Personal Search Agent
Job hunting isn't as easy as registering with a job board and waiting for the offers to come in.
When people want to lose weight, they follow diets created by experts that will help them drop pounds. When someone gets serious about having a great physique, they hire a personal trainer. When candidates for elective office want to win elections, they hire campaign consultants to help them shape a message and run their election.
If that all that went into getting a job was posting your resume, you would start work within a few days, right?
Instead, you post a resume on a job board and pray for a response. After all, job boards only fill 3% of all positions (As you can imagine, job boards don't run around touting that statistic).
Getting a job takes more than posting a resume and praying. It takes:
Knowing what you really want in a job.
Networking. Networking and more networking,
Writing a great resume.
Finding out who the right people are to contact.
Getting it front of the right people.
Making sure your resume is seen.
Masterful interviewing.
Negotiating well.
Making a good decision.
Beyond these categories are, literally, thousands of details where people make mistakes that result in missed opportunities and less income, not just now but every year for the rest of their life.
The Platinum Program
You need someone to coach you through a job search who is there for one purpose and one purpose only—to help you make the best decision for you.
Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter, offers a VIP Personal Search Agent service, a Platinum Program that will help you avoid making mistakes and have the job hunting success that will mean professional and personal success.
* A person who will help construct or improve your resume.
* Speak with you personally about your search and offer advice for how to improve your efforts.
* Coaching and rehearsals to help you perform better
* Negotiating advice to make sure you don’t leave money on the table.
Q. But I am working with an agent? Are they really working for you or for their corporate client?
I’ve been a professional recruiter for more than 35 years and I know from experience that recruiters work for their corporate clients. Isn’t that who actually pays them?
Q. My company arranged for outplacement for me. Why do I need this service or you?
Outplacement firms are hired by corporations to do a few things. The biggest one is to make sure that you say nothing critical about your former employer or decide to sue your former firm. It's "blood money." A pacifier and, in my opinion, often harmful.
Q. Harmful?
Most of the agents you'll speak with in outplacement have never found work for anyone. They have training in a formula that their firm subscribes to but often offer advice that is flat out wrong because they just don't know the right answer and have to project the illusion of being an expert and have to keep you from suing your former firm.
In contrast, I have been a professional recruiter since 1972
In the VIP Personal Search Agent Platinum Program, I provide advice and tough love to help you through the labyrinth known as job hunting so that you avoid getting tripped up and cross the finish line with your psyche intact and a smile on your face.
Stop searching for jobs and sending your resume to places where it won’t be seen!
For a manageable investment of $1500 for the first month and $500 for each month thereafter, hire me as a personal search agent to help you negotiate through the minefields. When you use a free outplacement service or low cost "career consultants," you get what you pay for -- theoretical information but not the useful information that comes from having filled jobs with companies for these many years.
The Gold Program
Like the Platinum Program but "light". Two hours of time with me during the course of a month instead of the four offered in The Platinum Program. We work together for two months. Period.
The cost is $995 for the first month; $375 for each month thereafter.
The Silver Program
Sometimes, a person needs "a checkup" because their job search is stalled or not going "right" They need impartial advice from an expert who has the experience to critique them and clearly explain what needs fixing.
You receive a 60 minute session with me in person or by phone or Skype designed to dissect what you are doing and some of the possible reasons for the problem, offer coaching to set you straight and send you off with the knowledge and attitude you need to get hired.
The cost is $500 for the session.
Just in Time Coaching
Too often people rely upon people for advice at critical junctures of their job search that are poorly equipped to advise them. Sometimes what you need are fresh eyes listening to your circumstances and offering expert experience. Sometimes, you need the ear of someone trained as a job search therapist offering cures to your problems (To remind you, I am an MSW from
The cost is $200 for a session and follow up.
The Negotiator
Athletes, entertainers and CEO's have agents representing them because they don’t want a negotiation to interfere with the relationship with their new producer, manager, or coach.
Imagine that you are about to receive a job offer from a firm or two or three. Do you really want to do your own negotiations? Do you really want to risk having your professional relationship with your new employer muddied?
I handle your negotiations for you for a manageable 3% of your new salary plus expenses that you pre-approve.
No matter which program makes sense to you, Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter* has the experience necessary to put your job search on track. He won't "invent a job for you." He will keep you focused on your job search success.
