Unemployed? You May Be a But-Head (sic)

OK. Second time this week I’m too busy to transcribe an audio interview, but that’s good.

Because this audio is with my irreverent, irrepressible business partner, David Perry. He’s the author of the world’s best job-search book — period, end of story — Guerrilla Marketing for Job Hunters.

I called David right after his third (13th?) cup of coffee, so this 11-minute talk is very fast-paced.

We talk about these and other ideas:

1) The traits of Guerrilla job hunters who get hired fast

2) What you REALLY do for employers

3) The traits of But-Head(tm) job seekers who fail (Yes, we’re trademarking “But-Head”!)

Which group are you in — Guerrillas or But-Heads?

More importantly, which group do you want to be in??

You’ll have to listen to the interview to find out.

Hint: I’ll define “But-Head” to give you a sense for what David and I talk about. A But-Head is a person who, when given an idea that might help them, offers a reply that begins, “But ….”

As in: “Joe, here’s a phone script you can use to generate job leads. You ought to try it!” Joe, the But-Head, replies: “But, I’ve already called everyone in my network.”

Another hint: If you want to stop being a But-Head, and start getting more employment leads, STOP saying But every time you learn about a new idea or proven tactic. Start saying How. As in: “How could I make that work for me?” Then get busy making it happen.

Listen. Discuss.
