Here's a few job search tips from Steve Siebold, author of the new book How Rich People Think.


Siebold says job seekers should stop applying for random positions and getting frustrated, and instead, try using what he calls “5 Steps to Landing a Job Through Rich Thinking.” He guarantees this method will help get any job seeker’s foot in the door! It goes like this:


1. Approach small and medium size businesses and offer to sell their products/services on 100% commission.


2. Volunteer to work for a local business for FREE for 2 weeks as a trial. Outwork everyone in the place and ask them to hire you.


3. Contact local dentists, doctors, accountants, lawyers, chiropractors and offer to help them bring in new clients and patients by booking them to deliver presentations to local businesses and community organizations.


4. Offer to conduct customer service surveys for local restaurants and collect leads for new customers.


5. Call the managers of clubs that require membership (country club, men’s club, women’s club, tennis club, chambers of commerce, civic clubs, etc.) and offer to call the members and thank them for their membership and possibly sell them an upgraded membership.
