“Everything he told me in his Five-Finger style proved to be right on the money!”

“As a guy who hires people all the time, I recognize how absolutely true RO’s job-creation method really is.  He “gets” it, and he does a fantastic job of explaining it in terms anybody can understand.  I love his writing style….”

“My task was to get “hired” by a writer’s agent, to help me sell my book.  I couldn’t get anyone to notice me!  RO used his Five-Finger formula to help me find the agent I wanted, and to get her attention.  Now, a year later, I’m a professional writer with a six-figure contract!  I’ll never doubt him again….”

"Getting the Job You Want"

Welcome!

Are you unemployed? Underemployed? Burned out with your current job? Needing to relocate or change careers? Is there someone in your life who faces these challenges that you would like to help? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you are in the right place.

These are trying times, for sure. It seems like the job market is flooded with folks who need work and the job pool is shallow. That’s why it’s so important to approach your job search seriously. The effort itself requires work, a disciplined method, and innovative thinking.

I have been where you are – out in the market looking for a job.  I know it can be exciting, exhausting and even maddening, if you don’t know how to do it. (I learned the hard way!) I have also been on the other side of the table, hiring great employees, so I know how those people think and what they are looking for in a new hire.

Here on this site, I humbly share my no-nonsense perspective with anybody who is interested. I’m not a fancy writer, but I have good ideas and I'll be honest with you. You can find out more about me here.

It’s important to stay positive when you are looking for a job.
