Synopsis

Looking for a job is a frustrating experience, especially when you face challenges in your employment hunt. The HERO method of job hunting shows you how to present your hidden skills and abilities developed through work, studies and life experience. Through proven exercises, you will learn how to best communicate them to potential employers and LAND THAT JOB! Challenges you have faced through life, such as being a single parent, care giver for a family member or living with what others may consider a disabling condition can now be seen as strengths you offer a new employer. Job hunters whether high school or college students, veterans or elderly workers can find new hope and exciting new tools for the job search through the HERO method of job hunting. We review the importance of seeing the world through the point of view of the employer. Together we explore the language and perspective the hiring manager has. We review the four essential aspects of any job - Heart (working well with clients, coworkers and stakeholders of the agency) Energy (providing the same level of drive no matter the day or occasion) Re-learning (using your intelligence to learn the tasks of the job efficiently and effectively) and Owning the Job (taking responsibility for your actions on the job). Through the HERO method we will then review the skills and capabilities you have earned through work, volunteering and life experience. At this point you can prove to the employer that you not only talk the talk of a good employee but have also walked the walk and can be that valued member of the team the employer is looking for. Throughout the HERO method, you will also enjoy motivating quotes from Bill Cosby, Mark Twain, Rodney Dangerfield and helpful ideas throughout your employment search. Read On!
