Happy Labor Day! As a six-figure job seeking professional, you need to become a professional job seeker. That means developing your skills In every aspect of a job search

A common hurdle my clients have faced before working with me is the liability of being overqualified, especially when they have over 20 years of experience.

When putting together your six figure job search strategy, there's one thing you need to keep in mind. Until an employer knows you - until anyone knows you - you are nothing but a commodity. Like a can of soup in an aisle of 600 cans of soup.

When you're networking and you explain what type of job you're looking for, if the person you're talking to doesn't know of any openings for that job, then you're out of luck. You may also be one of thirty Sales Directors in a room. So today, I want to give you a method of introducing yourself that will make you memorable, and will expand your audience's perception of your capabilities.

Did you know there are Recruiters out there that won't give you a second look unless you have three or four LinkedIn recommendations? But sometimes it's hard to get someone to take the time to write one from scratch.

One interviewing technique I teach my clients is to approach the hiring process as if you were a consultant. If you wanted a company to hire you to solve specific problems or increase the effectiveness of their business, what type of questions would you ask the decision makers? How would you listen differently to the hiring managers' descriptions of their needs? Would you be more active in determining their pain points - those specific challenges they are looking to immediately address, as well as in the long term?
