Before we start discussing how to search for a six figure salary job Avisail Garcia Jersey , let's set a goal. The goal I suggest is to double your income every five years. That may sound like a stretch. Well it is? but it is a doable stretch goal.


I set this goal for myself twenty years ago when I graduated from a small public college. I grew up an average kid from Philadelphia. I had average grades in high school and college. And I never went to graduate school. At the time I graduated from college I had never been west of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Twenty years later I can tell you that I have lived and worked on three different continents and I'm vice president of a large publicly traded company.


What made the difference for me were two things.


First and foremost was my college sweetheart. She always felt that I could do and be whatever I wanted. Her faith was a driving force that ignited my ambition.


Second was the director of the placement office at my college. He spoke to the senior class about the job market in 1983? which was bad. He spent three-quarters of his presentation telling us what we couldn't do and what we shouldn't expect. While I recognize that he was trying to manage our expectations so that we wouldn't become frustrated or disappointed in our job search his negativity frankly pissed me off.


One of the things that he told us was that we should just forget about applying to Armstrong World Industries. Armstrong was headquartered in the same town as my college. The director told us that since the job market was tight Armstrong was going "up market" to the bigger name schools Wade Boggs Jersey , so we should just forget about wasting our time chasing Armstrong.


Right then and there I made up my mind that no one was going to tell me what I can't do when it came to achieving success. Since Armstrong was not interviewing on campus, I had to figure out how to land an interview with their college recruiter.


I targeted a job with them in their sales organization. I thought it would impress them if I made a cold call on the college recruiter. So I planned my approach. I would go over at lunch time when the main receptionist wouldn't be on duty. I figured the person that covers during lunch wouldn't take their gate keeping duty as seriously. I thought if I could just get into the Human Resources Department Tampa Bay Rays Jersey , I could probably wait for the college recruiter to get back from lunch.


My planning worked better than expected because the college recruiter was having lunch at his desk and he was happy to sit with a college student who had cold called on him.


I had my two minute pitch ready and my questions to gather more information as to their needs all polished up and ready to go. I was very relaxed since I figured I had nothing to lose, which is true in any job interview. If the interview you are on doesn't work out Harrison Bader Jersey , learn from it and then just move on.


After spending an hour with the college recruiter I was offered to join Armstrong' training program. The first thing I did when I got back on campus was to see the director of the placement office. I told him how I got into my beat up 1977 Datsun B-210 wearing my brand new navy blue polyester suit that I bought at Sears the night before and drove over to Armstrong's and landed a job offer to join their college training program. You could have knocked him over with a feather. Then I told him that I would double my salary every five years?


I learned three things from this experience:


First, don't let anyone tell you what you can't do.


Second Paul Goldschmidt Jersey , anyone who learns how to successfully conduct a management level job search can significantly advance their career.


Third, anyone who is willing to learn Dexter Fowler Jersey , stretch themselves and isn't a quitter can achieve their goals.


I applied these three lessons twenty years ago and I haven't looked back? including doubling my income every five years. The best decision I made was to marry my college sweetheart who first lit that spark of ambition in me. We have been happily married, with three great daughters Andrew Miller Jersey , ever since.


Since I always felt like I was the original "Average Joe" who found out how to break through the ceiling of mediocrity, I wanted to share what I learned. What led me to wanting to share the lessons for finding a six figure salary position were two things.


First Matt Carpenter Jersey , I landed as a senior executive at three different large publicly traded companies before I was forty. And second, I saw on the news that the number one New Years Resolution is to get a new job or to advance your career.


So I began work on The Six Figure Job Search CD which was launched in July 2003 on . This CD leads the executive job searcher through the entire process from planning their campaign to negotiating the offer. And I share the overview of the techniques here.


For a six figure salary search you have to understand that it is a numbers game. You are now approaching the narrower points in the pyramid and the demand for six figure jobs always outstrips the supply. Your resume has to hit at exactly the moment that a company or a recruiter needs a person with your particular skill and experience. So you can see that you will get very few hits? and that is why we need to get you up to bat as often as possible.


A mistake I've seen executives make is that they believe the process will be easier than it really is. They believe that once they get their name out there and they send their resume to 50 or 100 companies Yadier Molina Jersey , then the world will beat a path to their door. Understand right up front that this process is going to be tough and time consuming. That is why knowledge of how to manage the process and how to diligently prepare are going to be the major keys to success.
