HELP
WANTED LIKE YOU AIN’T NEVER THOUGHT (OR SEEN)
BEFORE
Almost
everybody knows that you can use the paper to find “HELP
WANTED” ads, and use that to get a job!
------------------------------
As
a matter of fact, we are almost dead certain when you went through
the experiment in chapter three, you got this one right.
But,
we need to teach you a couple of quick things that you never thought
about.
Here’s
the easiest job in the world to get: Short Order cook. If you can
teach yourself how to flip eggs, flip a burger, and slap stuff
together, you can look in the paper on almost any day, and find a
job.
Now,
being a short order cook is not the greatest paying job in the world,
but it is usually a bit better than minimum wage. In this particular
issue that we have been examining, there were SEVEN jobs listed for
Short Order Cook.
So,
break out a cookbook, beg your mom or grandma, and learn how to cook.
Start as a dishwasher in a restaurant and watch the cook and ask to
be shown. (With this last method, when you’ve learned enough,
ask the manager if you can help in slow times until you pick up some
speed at it. We are betting the manager will like your initiative,
and YOU will pick up a valuable skill.)
If
you learn this needed skill, you’ll rarely be without a job.
Another
easy one to pick up, although it is getting more difficult with
tougher regulation, is truck driver. Although there are some good
schools out there, you don’t necessarily need to go to a school
to learn how to do this. You do need a good driving record, and you
need to pick up a copy of the manual at your State Highway Department
for Commercial Drivers’ License, and, also pick up the material
related to HAZMAT, (Hazardous Material.)
With
a Class B CDL, you can even chauffeur or drive a school bus, which is
especially good for retired people. With some training, you can also
pick up a job as an ambulance driver, (which could lead to learning
another valuable skill, as a Paramed. We will go into picking up
learning skills a little later on.)
In
this particular newspaper, there were 5 jobs listed. So, again, if
you can get your CDL, keep a good driving record, avoid alcohol
before you are scheduled to drive, and avoid drugs altogether, this
is another skill that will rarely leave you out of a job.
(Speaking
of newspapers and truck driving, you may be surprised to learn that
there is a part time job that involves delivering newspaper bundles,
as well as a few papers to individual boxes in the country, as a
motor route driver. You usually get paid an hourly wage and mileage.
Because, it is your own business, you can deduct some reasonable
expenses. As always, consult your accountant or tax advisor on these
matters.)
Another
job that is always easy to get is a convenience store clerk. It
involves light stocking and cleaning and cashiering. There is a high
turnover in this field, so if you can stick it out, although there is
no guarantee, you just might make manager, zone manager, or district
manager by sheer longevity and seniority. (We happened to notice 2
openings in this issue. Remember, this is in a town of only about
35,000 people.)
Another
easy job to get is car sales. You probably want to wear a white
shirt and red tie when you apply for this job. (Red ties symbolize
power supposedly.) Be friendly, learn the ropes, do what your sales
manager tells you, and you could do well with this job. Again, there
is often a lot of turnover in this field. So, if you stick it out,
keep your eyes and ears open, you could move up quite quickly.
One
quick note here: this job can sometimes lead you into the position
of Finance and Insurance, also known as F & I. In F & I, you
arrange the financing and insurance extras, such as the extended
warranties, for the purchaser. These specialists, although they work
long hours, (twelve hours a day, seven days a week) usually make
upper middle class wages. The secret to this, as well as a lot of
other opportunities in a job, is keep your eyes open. Learn as much
as you can from those in that position. See if you can fill in
during times when possible. (Again, the boss will probably
appreciate the hustle and effort, and you could be rewarded with this
position.)
Although
there were no car sales opportunities listed in this particular issue
of the newspaper, had this been a Sunday, we are betting there would
have been four or five opportunities.
Speaking
of car sales, which, although it does provide what is known as a draw
against commission (which means that you earn an hourly salary, which
is matched against your commissions until you earn more commissions
than draw), there are other jobs that are straight commission only
jobs. These are your door to door vacuum cleaner, insurance
salesman, and other assorted “sales” jobs.
Now,
the good part about these is simply this: YOU EARN WHAT YOU ARE
EXACTLY WORTH. YOU GENERALLY WORK WHEN YOU WANT TO WORK. AND BY AND
LARGE, YOU ARE YOUR OWN BOSS.
As
Tom Hopkins, Zig Ziglar, and other trainers have aptly pointed out:
Sales is the lowest paying easy job, and the highest paying tough
job. In other words, if you don’t try, you will make very
little. If you learn correctly, and put the effort in, you will make
good money.
Although
many people think sales is just being a “good talker,”
they are incorrect. (It has a lot more to do with “good
listening” than “good talking.”) But, if you learn
the methods, you could make some good money at this. (We personally
recommend an old rare classic: Theron Q. Dumont’s “Successful
Salesmanship,” which is available through us at our website:
http://www.foundsecrets.com/successfulsalesmanship/
but,
there are many other materials available out there by some great
trainers, for example, the aforementioned Tom Hopkins and Zig Ziglar.
One
thing we might quickly mention. If you are up to learning the
insurance industry, which could include getting your securities
licenses, you can earn residual incomes, which is guaranteed monthly
renewables from previous sales. We might mention that you do need to
stay long enough to “vest,” (which means that you’ve
been there long enough you are allowed to keep them), the renewable
income. If you don’t, the renewables will return to your
company.
So,
if you find yourself unemployed, go to the library and pick up some
books on sales and learn this most valuable art. Again, you will not
regret it.
Occasionally,
you will notice right under the “Help Wanted” Sections,
you will notice “Business Opportunities.” Now, although
a lot of these are where you have to invest in envelopes to stuff and
other opportunities of which we do not advise pursuing, if you use
the “kiss a lot of frog methods,” you might find a
retiring couple who is willing to work reasonable terms. If you have
a passion for the business, or you know a lot about it, take
advantage and see what financing can be worked out.
We
know of a time when a young entrepreneur back in the sixties put a
hundred dollars down against a television sales store, and then had
to go and repair a couple of sets the first day just to cover his
rent.
There
are sometimes “sweat equity” situations where you do the
work, and someone else provides the financing. One of our staff, as
previously mentioned, passed up a bail bondsmen position because of
his religious beliefs and conscience, where all he would have had to
do was provide the manpower while someone else footed the bills.
Look
for those opportunities. Yes, you can make money by using your daily
newspaper, but you have to put in the effort and the time to make it
happen.
In
addition, we noticed a day care and housecleaning sections. If you
have the inclination to do these things, you could advertise here and
make that happen. There are many people who make a good living going
out and cleaning houses.
(We
have heard of a person once that made an entire business out of
cleaning up other people’s dog poop. Again, use your
imagination when you read the paper and see if there is a slightly
different angle you can use to your advantage.)
If
you go the daycare route, make sure to check all the rules and
regulations. Do not go into these things blindly. It’s a lot
more than just baby-sitting when you go this route. But, it may let
you stay at home and take care of your own kids and be with them.
(And, that as they say in one credit card commercial, can
be—PRICELESS!)
Let’s
take a look at one more quick idea, before we head to the next
chapter.
When
you talk about creating your own business, there are a couple of
quick ideas we want to run by you.
Remember
the chapter about rummage sales. Well, with two pickups filled with
furniture and etc., had we chosen to, we could simply have gone on
and rented a building, put it in there, and sold the items. But,
along with that, we could also have set up a consignment shop.
When
you set up a consignment shop, people bring you items they want to
sell. These items can range from books to automobiles. What you do
is provide a place for people to come and look at these items. When
somebody buys the item, you pay the person a percentage, usually 85%,
and you keep 15%.
You
will have to learn record keeping, but in this day and age of
computers, it shouldn’t be too hard to learn how to create a
database, or at a minimum, set up a spreadsheet to keep track of your
records.
In
addition, you could learn pawnbrokering. Now, although we are not
fond of this idea, that does not mean that you wouldn’t be able
to do this.
You
do need to learn how to appraise the worth of items. You usually
loan out 1/4th of the value of the item at a fixed rate,
usually 10% for a month.
So,
let’s say that you are provided an item that you have
determined is worth $400. You would then give them $100 for one
month. In that time frame, if they want the item back, they have to
give you $110. If they don’t, you put the item out for ½
the value of the item and sell it.
The
pawnee, (person who pawned the item), can come back and renew the
pawn every month.
Now,
let’s say they do that three times before they reclaim the
item. That means you have earned 30% in three months.
(This
is the reason we don’t subscribe to the idea. We believe that
high usury (charging excessive interest rates) is taught as wrong in
the Bible. But, if you have no thoughts against it, or can reconcile
it in your mind, then you can certainly pursue the idea.)
One
major drawback against pawnbrokering: many times people come in and
pawn stolen items. If they do, you lose the item, and the chance to
recover your money. So, if you follow this path, make sure you get
identification and take every pre-caution possible to protect
yourself. If you have to refuse the pawn, because you don’t
trust the situation, then do so. (Remember, don’t let the “fear
of loss” cloud your better judgment. There will always be
somebody who is desperate and is legally pawning their own items for
you to worry about running out of opportunities.)
Speaking
of opportunities, let’s address that age old adage before we
move on.
Most
people say, “Opportunity only knocks once.”
Let’s
tell you the truth.
Opportunity
comes about once a week.
It
doesn’t matter whether you are talking about a business deal, a
purchase, or the ideal mate.
(Okay,
maybe we are stretching that last one.)
But,
if you keep your eyes open, there are opportunities, that many
consider “the deal of a lifetime,” arriving at the rate
of about once per week.
The
problem (yep, there’s that word again) is that you have been so
conditioned to refuse to believe that.
But,
we know it to be true. We have seen one deal slip away, only to see
another one the following week.
But,
you have to apply the law of “kissing frogs.” If you
keep looking, and start tuning your mind for opportunities, you will
start seeing them everywhere.
(Kind
of like what this entire book is about. Teaching you to look for
opportunities all the time. When you condition your mind this way,
your mind starts seeing them all the time. So, if you ever start
thinking about there’s no way to make money or find
opportunities, come back to this book. Hey, you paid good money for
it, you might as well get ALL YOUR MONEY’S WORTH OUT OF IT.)
So,
now that you understand opportunities are always there, let’s
take a look at one more quick job idea you haven’t considered.
It’s
called “Auctioneering.”
Yep,
those loud-mouthed people that are always yelling out in a sing-song
way, “I’veagotadollarbutI’malookingfortwo,
who’dagivemetwo, two, two,nowgotthreebutalookingfor four...).
You
might have pre-conditioned in your mind that this is just not a very
glamorous opportunity.
Well,
it has never been about glamor. If you want glamor, look to modeling
(please realize that once again, if you have that asset, use it, but
we are trying to make a point here).
In
the “Millionaire Next Door,” they talk about the success
of auctioneers. Let’s take a quick look as to why auctioneers
are so successful.
They
get a chance to spot the bargains before they hit the auction block.
They
know what the value of items are, and therefore, can take advantage,
not just on the auction, but in all aspects of life.
They
have seen people fail, and make sure that they don’t fall into
the same trap.
Now,
auctioneering can get extensive. You can even get yourself a real
estate license and be able to sell houses via auction.
So,
one option to consider, if you are going to build your own business,
is get your license, learn how to “sing”, and go be an
auctioneer.
BONUS
#1:
GETTING
A JOB QUICK AND A NEW WAY OF NETWORKING
Okay,
you’ve exhausted all the money-making ideas, leads, writing
methods, and business opportunities from your newspaper. And, you
now know how to do it with any type of newspaper, whether it’s
the New York Times, The Minot Daily, The Mountrail County Promoter,
or The Finder.
But,
you don’t have a job, and you need one like quick, fast, and in
a hurry.
No
problem.
Pick
up your Yellow Pages.
Yes,
we said, your “Yellow Pages.”
And,
then what we want you to do is start calling each and every business.
Now,
you could use the hang dog negative method of “You don’t
have any job openings, do you?”
And,
even doing that, you will find somebody that says, “Yes.”
But,
if you have a cheerful voice, and ask, “Yes, I was wondering if
you had openings that I could help you with,” you’ll get
a far better response.
And,
when they say, “Yes,” then get down there quick, fast,
and in a hurry. (Just make sure you are appropriately dressed for an
interview.)
One
of our staff members used this method and had a job in forty-five
minutes.
By
the way, another easy job to get is “maid.” We won’t
say “maid in a motel.” Too many Beavis and that other
guy types out there would make fun of that line.
That
is the exact job that our staff member landed.
Now,
if you want to speed up the process, you can call the convenience
stores, hotels, motels, and restaurants first. If you have a CDL,
then check the following spots in your business listings: moving
companies, trucking, freight, and travel. Don’t over look bus
companies or limousine services. (If you have a paramed license or
certificate, make sure you check ambulance services.)
Some
of the people that you speak with will be very derogatory with you
when you call. They’ll degrade you for not coming down in
person.
Don’t
sweat it. You’re not worried about them.
You’re
trying to get the job quickly, which is why you used this method.
Now,
if you are trying to network and build a business, like a multi-level
business, then you want to use this method with your Yellow Pages.
Look
at each category.
Who
comes to mind when you see that category. Do you know an architect,
or somebody that works in building buildings? Write their name down.
Do
you know an artist? Write the name down.
Don’t
worry about qualifying them? You can always do that later. And,
besides, you don’t know if they will be interested in your
opportunity. The worst they can do is say, “No.” And,
if you get hurt by that two letter word, then go back to the
newspaper and find a new method of building a business, or use the
first method listed in this chapter and pick up a new job.
You
can do that from Animal store all the way to Zoo.
You
will build quite a list, and that’s what the business is all
about anyhow, right. Getting the names. Because, if your
opportunity is right, it will sell itself, and all you needed was the
names, anyhow.
You
got the names now.
Go
be a success.
