We are back with Dave Perry here on the jobsearchsolution discussing job search tactics. We can, I will, Dave's books cover all of that. Before we get to that, Dave, tell people how they can find you when they need you. Link in. David Perry, fairmarks on international. Link in. Easy. If you're looking for a job and we're just talking about being found, go to workinsight.io. Sign up as a candidate. It's free. Use as much detail as you want to. When recruiters find you, they don't know what you, because you're anonymized. They don't get your name or your email or anything. They have to send you a message that you can then accept or reject. You can have a whole conversation with a recruiter about a job opportunity without them ever knowing who you are. The whole concept of workinsight is simple. Become, you sign up once, and you stay for life, because there's no risk of you ever being found by your employer. Point for now. But being found is what we're talking about. Workinsight is a lot like the dating apps. In fact, we patterned it after one of the largest dating apps. It asks you for a ton of information. The type of information that you would like employers to know so they can make a decision. Now, you don't have to put it all in at the same time, but a complete profile is far more powerful on workinsight.io than anywhere else. It has far more information that even a recruiter would like to know. It makes you more attractive without exposing you. That helped, Tony? Very, and a very fine product and very fine service. It really is cool. You have to be at a very particular knowledgeable point in your recruiting career to understand the innuendos of that thing. It's very, I could spend hours on it. You'll find the smart recruiter there. It's really good. Other than the tactic of simple tactics, email address that is specific to. If you want to just make it specific to LinkedIn, fine. If you want to lay a phone number specific to. I have a specific text number that I use that is specific to my business, not my cell phone. That goes to my computer that I use to text employers and candidates that I'm checking all the time. I've got it on my business card. I've got it on my signature. Text me. It's exclusive. I don't have any. I'm really easy to get a hold of. Being able to really get a hold of you is so, so important. You don't realize they're just last week. I was recruiting for a particular position. I started out with five candidates. It was a screwball kind of background. I won't go into narrow, but it was real narrow. I found five people around the country that fit it. We had narrowed it down to two. We interviewed two. We were really going after one. Over a period of two weeks, we got it down to one. We went to make an offer. Something came up in her life where she couldn't change jobs. I immediately had to get a hold of the second one. It was so easy to get a hold of her. I got a hold of her and she was ready to go. She was so easy to get a hold of. It was so pleasant to see that somebody was ready to respond. I didn't spend two and a half days trying to find this gal. I can't tell you how much difference that makes because when an employer gets in a relatively desperate position and you don't think they do, they do get in desperate positions. They go, "Oh, my goodness. What am I going to do?" They go, "Just call that one." They call and they get you when they don't have to go through. That Google voice that they have to go through, they hate that. I hate that thing. Why people? Do you know why people use that thing? I have no clue. Because somebody said this is cool. More and more recruiters don't want to talk to camp. The exact opposite of you and I, most recruiters don't actually want to talk to a job hunter. Even if they've got a job or they're looking for it, they don't want to talk. They just want to line up the skills, forward a resume, and figure the done. Even I both know, there's far more to it. That's why they use a piece of technology like that. Well, getting a hold of somebody is so important. Sometimes it can make so big a difference of being able to get a hold of you instead of getting a hold of somebody else. Answer the phone and you don't know who it is. Don't have to spend a lot of time with them. You tell me I don't answer phone numbers. I don't know. Pick up the phone. If it's some collector from Mexico, don't just hang up. Fine. I digress. What other tactic you have in mind? But you're 100% on because being lazy is detrimental. You're talking about why don't people do this, why don't people do that. Here's the point of it. You and I judge people. This is paid for daily on every single interaction. You don't want us to think you're lazy or lazy. You don't know how things work. That does not reflect well on you as a job hunter. And we, you and I, get paid for results. And oftentimes we don't see the result. I mean pretty candid it in. We don't see the result for six months a year, sometimes two years that we're looking for. And we have guarantee periods. So we're always looking to put the best person in. We're not looking to move bodies because we've got to do it again. We're looking for the best person. So when people don't do these things that we've just suggested, it just, you know, rightly or wrongly for me, it just tells me that they're not all that smart. That's a judgment I make every single day. And from exactly, it's from the top line to the, it's from the top floor to the shop floor. Everybody does these. We judge people the exact same way. And remember, I started out, you know, recruiting receptionists 40 years ago. David, you always make me so enthusiastic. Thank you all for listening, Chrissy, honey. I love you.
