- ....Career Opportunites...
- aka: A Hacker's Guide to a US$50,000/yr Job
-
-
- INTRO
-
- Just graduated from College? GPA to low to get a good job? Try this...
-
-
- CONFIDENCE
-
- Call your University Alumni office and request information on Career
- Counseling. Get the Name, Address, and Phone Number of a Career Counselor.
-
- Send a letter to the Career Counselor explaining that you would like
- information on Career Counseling options, and ask that they WRITE you back
- with the information.
-
- You should receive a letter back from the Career Counselor of your school,
- along with lists of names, phone numbers, and a bunch of other Crap. Throw
- all that sh*t away, EXCEPT for the letter from the Career Counselor.
-
- The letter should be on University Letterhead. Scan the document. (If you
- don't have a scanner, see my file on Burning Kinko's.)
-
- Use Photoshop or the like to wipe out all the blah, blah, blah, the Career
- Counselor wrote you. The only thing you need are the Letterhead and the
- Career Counselors Signature.
-
- Write your own letter talking about how great you are and what a benefit you
- would be to any Employer. Make sure you signed the letter (with the
- Counselors scanned signature of course.)
-
- Print the letter out, preferably on like paper as the original document and
- in color if necessary (have you read my file on Burning Kinko's.) Also, for
- good measure, use the Letterhead logo to make a good looking envelope.
-
- Now then, Scan in those horrendous College Transcripts detailing your 2.01
- GPA. Use Photoshop to doctor them up, and then print 'em out. Note: It is a
- competitive world, TRUST ME! Make yourself a Genius (note the capital G) 3.0
- is NOT competitive. 4.0 just barely gets you on the playing field. 4.2,
- you're lookin' good!
-
- Ok, now you're a genius with an illustrious (sp?) GPA to prove it. Let it be
- known. Write one HELL of a Resume'. If you're not too good at making
- Resume's, call Kinko's and ask them to fax you samples of the different
- Resume' styles they have. Find one you like, and recreate it. I recreated
- ALL of their Resume' styles using nothing more than Word 5.0. Believe me,
- it's EASY to write a nice Resume' when you're following a model. Important
- Note: When filling out your Resume', if you need/want to embellish a bit on
- your Work History, make up the great job positions you've had at Fortune 500
- companies, make up Supervisor names, and then consult the alt.2600/#hack FAQ
- for phone numbers that ALWAYS RING BUSY. Gosh darnit, everytime they try and
- touch base with your past employers the dang lines always busy. Oh well.
-
- Alright, now you have a bunk letter of recommendation from the Career
- Counselor of your University, you have bogus College Transcripts, and you
- have a Resume detailing your faux-exemplary College credentials, and
- prevaricated Work History. The only issue left is: where do you wanna work?
-
- Wherever you wanna work, find out the address for the Dir. of Personnel,
- Admin. of Human Resources, or, ideally Department Head for Career
- Recruitment. Career Recruitment are those guys from BIG corporations that
- recruit hot prospects right out of College.
-
- Did you get the address? Good, now get like 10 more for 10 other places
- you'd like to work.
-
- Make 10 packets (Letter of Recomendation, Resume', Transcripts, Envelopes)
- and send them to your 10 potential employers. Wait a couple of weeks and...
-
- "RING"
-
-
- PSEUDO-BRAGGADOCIO
-
- Not to brag but there is a real beauty to this that really makes it the most
- viable way to get a job. See one of the hardest things about finding a job,
- especially with a big corporation, is determining what position you wish to
- apply for. I mean, I've never seen anyone get a real job by applying for
- position 'OPEN'. When you want a good job, you have to know in advance what
- position you wanna fill...unless you let someone else determine that for
- you. See the beauty of the described method (and you'll find this out if you
- try it), is when you start you get calls from employers, they'll ALREADY
- have a position in mind that they want you to fill..
-
- 'Hello' 'Hello, is Torre Moss in?' 'This is he.' 'Hello, Torre, this Bill
- Blass at Micros0ft, just got your Resume'. Looks good. We've got a position
- open in Marketing we think you would be PERFECT for, can you come in for an
- interview?' 'Ahhh sure, I just have to fly to Colorado first and thank
- oleBuzzard'
-
- And it's as simple as that....really....and think about it, what do you have
- to lose?
-
-
- OUTRO
-
- I've said it before and I'll say it again, you can be anything you can make
- someone believe you are....create your own opportunities. kn0wledge pheak
- BBS is gone for good. I'ved moved on to bigger and better things. If you
- need to contact me, information follows, and though the BBS is gone, it's
- legacy lives on in the kn0wledge phreak CD! See ya online, and look for more
- of my Infmaous T-Philes at kn0wledge phreak WWW!
