’t get fun jobs. Repetitive jobs are the only ones people get. People either make fun jobs or they never make it at all. Look around you. Do you want to end up like them?

Making jobs is all about timing. Have you ever noticed what happens when you first get the idea to buy something? Wallpaper, furniture, a car? Something creates that impulse buy, and—click! Your brain’s locked in. You measure everything else against how well it satisfies your sudden desire. That’s why visualizing a goal is such an incredibly powerful way to actualize it.

You’re not having an interview, you’re having an inner view! Every person since the dawn of civilization wants someone else to do his chores. This is just a manifestation of the quest for happiness inside every human heart.

It starts at birth and ends at death. People spend their entire lives, from the time they wake up to the time they go to sleep, trying to fulfill that wish. It guides what they buy, what they eat, where they go, when they go, who they call, who they befriend, who they marry, who they hire. Then they dream about it through the night. Genies appear to deliver happiness when the time is right—when there’s desire. Translation: anytime.

You’re the reason for that saying, “I don’t know what it was about him, but we just clicked!”

Showing Your Appreciation

I once wrote a popular book called The Perfect Follow-Up Method to Get the Job—an entire book devoted to the subject. But using this technique, there are only two things to do and there’s only one way to do them.

They are:

1. Send an e-mail when you arrive home to every offeror you met.

It should state:

Hi, (First name),

I just wanted to let you know what a pleasure it was meeting you today. I really appreciated having the opportunity to discuss what you are doing at ____________.

I look forward to speaking with you again soon.

Thanks.

Best regards,

(Your first name)

(All of your contact information)

If you’re sending a resume or completing an application, indicate when you’ll be sending it.

That’s it! No long-winded sales pitch, no life history. Just a simple expression of appreciation.

2. Mail a thank-you note dated the following day (prepared when you sent the e-mail the night before) to every offeror you met.

It should state:

Dear (First name),

I just wanted to let you know that ____________ appears to have exactly the opportunity I’ve been seeking.

Thanks again for your time.

(Your first name)

Redundant? Repetitious? How else does one effectively advertise? When you enclose another business card (which you must), you’re penetrating even deeper into her subconscious.

Motivating Yourself

Now, you take scissors and trim the papers you have down to business-card size, and you insert all the cards (including the trimmed papers) in a large binder clip. That is your binder clip for the week, so you will use it for all left rear pocket cards you get from Monday through Friday. The next week, you will use another binder clip, and so forth.

Wednesday morning is your time to smile and dial in the office. Every Wednesday at 8 A.M. sharp, you should be making your first call to the offeror on the first card in the binder clip from around two weeks before. Waiting this long gives the offeror time to reflect on your meeting, read your e-mail and thank-you note, see your business cards repeatedly, and perhaps review any forms or resume that you submitted.

The purpose of the call is achieve one thing and one thing only: to make an appointment to meet again. That’s when you’ll get the offer (unless the offeror is desperate)—not now over the phone.

What’s that? You’re nervous about making the call? Gotta gulp another cup of joe? Hold on a second! Can’t we just wait awhile? ’Til she’s had a chance to settle down?

Not a chance! Genies poof out of bottles; offerors don’t poof out of phones. Didn’t we discuss what F-E-A-R stands for? If you’re nervous, you’re relying on False Evidence Appearing Real. You don’t understand
