Two Strategies…  Strategy #1 – “The Shotgun Approach” +Linear Process  Company 1: A -> B -> C -> D … Company 2: A -> B -> C -> D … +One company at a time +“Can you tell me what you have available?”  Strategy #2 – “The PREPARED Model” +Parallel Process  Step A: Companies 1-10 … Step B: Companies 1-10 … +Many companies, one step at a time

The Theory… The PREPARED Model helps you:  Stay organized  Reduce anxiety  Differentiate yourself The PREPARED Model premise:  Unique company insight is required to get a job  3 primary ways to show unique insight  Only contact a company once you find that unique insight There are thousands of companies, so a system is necessary for conducting an effective career search. “Let me tell you how I could help your company?”

The PREPARED Model Cycle 1 Create strategy PREP before you start Cycle 2 Discover opportunities Execute your strategy P ick your companies R esearch targets E lect selection criteria P rioritize your Top 10 A nnounce your intentions R each out to your contacts E liminate dead-ends D o it again
