Take the Best Don't Wait Like the Rest

Are you a passive Bottom Feeder in the world of job seekers or do you aggressively hunt like a Shark for the most desirable positions available? If you had to describe your method for finding great job opportunities, how would you describe it? Are you like the countless number of unemployed or underemployed who gather in large groups, most often unwittingly, and chase after the few jobs that are tossed out by companies that were forced to resort to advertising the position?

You are either unemployed or underemployed or you wouldn't be reading this article. What were the circumstances? Did technology change your world or were you downsized, restructured, adjusted, or any number of euphemisms used to soften the blow of your lost job? Don’t waste another minute of precious time or another unit of much needed energy rehashing about what got you to this place. You’re here. Deal with it.

Now before you get offended, I think that you show definite signs of having SHARK potential. A real Bottom Feeder would never have had the nerve or inclination to seek out information. Bottom Feeders are too quick to just accept their lot in life. Before you begin to pat yourself on the back too vigorously, I have to take this opportunity to tell you that it was your Bottom Feeder habits that created your current woes. If you had always utilized the SHARK Techniques you wouldn’t be sitting around reading material on finding another job.

Okay, that’s the last time I’m going to give you any more grief about past mistakes, unless you force me. As a Shark, you’re going to be in greater control over your employment situation. You will be the one to decide how long you stay and when you move on. As a Shark, you will glide through the waters of the work world with greater confidence and presence. The Bottom Feeders will be watching you pass them by and wonder why you’re so lucky at landing the choice positions. They will attribute it to luck but you and I will know that it was your SHARK Techniques that gave you the edge.
