Robin's Simple Recipe for Finding a Job

Are you struggling with how to find a job or not knowing how? Then this book may assist you in obtaining your goals!

This book is designed to teach people to get a job by using their resources and giving them the tools they need to become employed.

There are steps to finding a job, just as there is when going on a diet. Unfortunately, not everyone is willing to take those steps. Therefore, many give up along the way because sometimes it takes longer then they expect. This is true especially when it comes to obtaining employment.

I have developed a one - page recipe for anyone seeking employment. I feel God inspired me to write this book because I have made a career out of teaching people how to find a job. Therefore, I believe Robin's simple recipe is timeless because as long as the earth remains someone will always need a job.

Robin has been an Employment Specialist over 17 years. It was not a career she originally chose. She believes it is a gift from God as part of her purpose in life. When Robin was in School there were no R.O.P. programs or people teaching you how to obtain jobs or even putting you to work to receive job training. Or at least she did not know about them. People today are so fortunate to have so many wonderful / beneficial programs and resources available to them. Robin had to learn everything the hard way when it came to finding a job. When she did her first Resume, which was after High School it was three pages long, which included references. Her Resume was also full of I's. I did this and I did that. How embarrassing and humiliating that was especially since this was not taught when she went to school. She put personal information on her Resume that did not belong. When she filled out applications and it asked for salary desired she put $1200 a month. That was back when minimum wage was $3.25. Employers must have fallen out of their chairs laughing when they saw that. By the way, minimum wage was at $3.25 & 4.25 for a very long time. After trial and errors, she quickly learned what worked and what did not. She also began researching and speaking with professionals. It was by the grace of God she was hired back then. One thing she always did right was to Dress to Impress, which her Mom, Bernadette Murphy Neal taught her at a very early age. Never leave the house unless you look good, no matter where you go; even if it is just to the store. You never know you may meet your special someone in the produce department! She did once, but he was not the right person. In other words, do not go to the store or leave your home in curlers. The first job Robin had was in a grocery store and she was referred for that. The only prior experience she had then was childcare and doing yard work for neighbors. Some times, it is whom you know not what you know. Robin has
