Landing Your Ideal Job and Landing It Faster: by Maximizing Return On Invested Time
Motivation for Writing this Book    Leading the Senior Manager sub-group of perhaps the best job search ministry in the United States, the “Between Jobs Ministry”, better known as “BJM”, is the creation of Dr. Roy Farmer of NorthWest Bible Church in Spring, Texas.    The Ministry is comprised of former CEO’s and other business professionals who as servant leaders volunteer their time to provide tireless support to job seekers throughout Houston and the surrounding areas. I am honored to be part of this giving organization and proud to be an Encourager and leader of the Senior Manager group.    This wonderful Christian-based Ministry helps job seekers deal with all aspects of their   “between jobs” status. Dealing with the grief of the financial stress created by their unemployed situation and the turmoil this creates in the home, the Ministry also provides help with resume writing, networking and all components of the job search process.  Simply put, the Ministry helps job seekers in their quest for their next opportunity.    The Senior Managers sub-group was created in 2001 to better serve the unique needs and requirements of those in a senior-level job search.  Many senior managers, who are In Transition themselves, volunteer their time to coach and counsel the less experienced job seekers in their searches, in addition to providing them with networking contacts that might help them land their next job. The Ministry’s philosophy is based on giving, not taking, and we know that good things accrue to those who share their time and wisdom.    I have led this group since 2007 and have seen or worked with over 500 job seekers who have landed new opportunities. As a former job seeker myself and a 30-year senior manager and former and current CEO, I have interviewed for and landed many opportunities throughout my career and have interviewed many candidates seeking to fill positions I was recruiting for.     As a subject matter expert in job search techniques, I have participated in seminars and symposiums throughout Houston and have been a frequent guest on employment radio programming.    This book is intended to help all levels of job seekers and has the uniqueness of "you", combined with the tools to differentiate yourself from the crowd of candidates seeking the same opportunities, as its primary theme and foundation.
