How to Approach a Job Search, with Ramit Sethi

If you're having a hard time finding your Dream Job, it's likely that you're approaching job hunting the wrong way. Here's what you can do to make sure that you're ahead of the pack. Hint: it has NOTHING to do with sending out hundreds of resumes.

Ramit is the best. Wish I had a handful of friends like him. REally genuine dude, cares about you (his amazing 2nd edition book is only 10 bucks on Amazon – NOT a big cash cow for him). 98% of pertinent information is free.

Hats off to Ramit. Thanks, bro.

great message, I am one of those who tried to figure it out for over 20 years and did'nt. Now I am doing what you suggest and get going. I admire your beautiful eyebrows and like your shirt very much. Thank you for helping and inspiring me.

Excellent message that applies to so many things. People expend so much energy thinking about starting and then never start. As someone who helps small business owners kick it into action, I get it.

Ramit, Thank you for kicking my butt today. I really needed it. I "figured it out", and got shit done.

[cargonzalez]

Just what I needed to hear.  You're right on the money.  Thanks Ramit!

Omg where was this when I really needed

I started volunteering at our Dog Shelter to gain the hours for credit towards as for a reference there.

I was able to use the guy as a reference and I got an interview somewhere else, then was ask to take the drug test (hair specimen), and now I'm still waiting 3 weeks later, even though *the job started on April 1*, just for drug test results just so I can get the call for Orientation.

Job searching makes me tick sometimes.

This video should be titled How NOT To Approach a Job Search. Ramit you tend to say everything WRONG that people are doing and don't really tell them the RIGHT thing to do. You do this as a business selling point, you say what they're doing wrong by saying something they can relate to such as, "I need to figure it out."

What video gear do you use Ramit? Video looks awesome!

[davidtraining]

sound level is pretty low- your usual quality is much higher

This Is *THE OPTIMIST*: “I have no friends, no family, no money, no food, no job,
no credit, no luck, no hope and no future. However, I do have matches,
toothpicks, chewing gum, paper clips, rubber bands, shoelaces and Scotch
Tape. Maybe things aren’t so bad.”

How manipulative :) really like the video. lot to learn from that

[DerekKier]

Yes! Time for action. Here, hold my beer.

"please use my material dream job" ramit.

[disarchitected]

Totally agreed. They either need to join up into a monobrow, or be plucked back so the inner edges line up with the sides of the nose. They are in a disjunctive place right now.
