Welcome to the Get It Done Guys quick and dirty tips to work less and do more.

Job hunting is a paradox.

If you get the chance to practice it a lot, well, it means you aren't very good at it.

And the moment that it works, you stop doing it so you never really ingrain the good habits.

I help people live extraordinary

lives, and your job is a big part of your life. Clients have asked me to review their resume and

tell them what I think. Usually, it's, ah, you didn't actually send this out, did you? Like, to a

recruiter, or a headhunter? Or heaven forbid Facebook? After all, people do check out their

prospective boyfriends, girlfriends,

husbands, wives, spous, family units on Facebook

before they decide to take the plunge.

Oh, some people throw together a resume quickly just to get it over with.

They save effort in their job hunt, but they end up in a job they hate for years.

Wouldn't it be smarter to put in

more time and effort up front to get the job they love? Of course it would. The question was

rhetorical. If you're going to do a resume, do it right. Resumays don't get you hired. No one was

ever hired on the strength of a resume. But plenty of people were cruelly discarded like

Paris Hilton's last season must have fashion accessories and never called in because their

resume didn't do its job. Resumies don't get you hired. If they do anything, they disqualify you

from a job. Your resume's only job is to distinguish you from the other candidates in a way that gets them tossed in the rubbish heap and gets you called in for an interview.

Understand the value that you bring.
