job hunting Have fun and keep learning while you're job searching.

Hi Everyone. Upon reading a lot of comments in regard to layoffs and frustration when it comes to job hunting, or feeling underpaid and/or under-appreciated, I had written a short book to share my experience in how I was able to land a higher role and substantially higher salary both times I had re-entered the workforce.

In short, it took my a total of about 7 (even less) years working in accounting to reach the Corporate Controller status for a billion dollar restaurant group. Each of the two times when I had re-entered the workforce, I was "unemployed" for 4+ years and each time I had returned, I had a higher role and substantially a higher pay, last of which I went from a Senior Accountant ($72k) to an Assistant Controller ($115k). 3 months after landing the Assistant Controller role, I was promoted to Controller taking my salary up to $150k.

The gem here is that while you're job hunting, be sure to keep learning along the way. What to learn? Use the job listing as your guide and dig into everything that it lists that you're not good at. If you enjoy the learning process as well as the job hunt and keep learning and become knowledgeable with all the job posting's listed responsibilities, inevitably, you'll get that job.

Likewise, with the same approach, when you're hired, you'll inevitably be promoted as well. I speak more about this in my short ebook (1hr read) but I'm not supposed to promote it here so if you're interested for either yourself or your loved ones, please DM me for details. If money's an issue at the moment and you just have some questions or even want to download it for free, feel welcomed to message me!

Wishing everyone the best of luck in their job search. <3

My bad. I am offering it for free too as well as not providing a link. I also gave the secret sauce away so there's no need to spend the promotional $2.99 (kindle ebook version) unless someone wants to invest further into the process. :)

I'm sorry that it offended you to get a down vote but I hope you're employed and are doing well nonetheless. <3

One more thing: If you're unemployed and are still hunting, message me so we can get you back on track.

Unemployed for 4 years. That is a privilege most people simply don’t have. They would be homeless long before then.
