1. Inspiration: To Get Better Results, Be Your Authentic Self
One of the themes in my teaching and writing in the past few years has been to "be your authentic self." The more authentic you are, the better results you will get. I have experienced this myself, in both my personal and business life. You will get better results too.
Rick Warren writes about authenticity in his inspirational book, The Purpose Driven Life:
"Of course, being authentic requires both courage and humility. It means facing our fear of exposure, rejection and being hurt again. Why would anyone take such a risk? Because it is the only way to grow spiritually and be emotionally healthy. The Bible says, 'Make this your common practice: confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed.' We only grow by taking risks, and the most difficult risk of all is to be honest with ourselves and with others (p. 140, the scripture is James 5:16a from The Message)."
I have a vision of JobSeekers having small group meetings throughout the week; we've taken steps in this direction. After the JobSeeker meeting on Friday mornings, one-fourth to one-half of us meet at the Atlanta Bread Company for a very informal gathering. I hear that many of you meet at other times during the week.
My vision also includes support groups meeting at some of the local churches as well – not for a big, formal meeting, but instead for the heart-to-heart relationship building that takes place during some of the more difficult days of our lives. We have just started a pilot at First Baptist in Peachtree City, and another church is talking about doing it as well.
Here's more from Warren's book: "People wear masks, keep their guard up and act as if everything is rosy in their lives. These attitudes are the death of fellowship (p. 140)."
If you want to see a textbook example of this, go to a little league baseball game and listen to the dads and coaches talk to one another. In Wild at Heart, John Eldredge calls these men 'posers.' He says, "Most of what you encounter when you meet a man is a façade, an elaborate fig leaf, a brilliant disguise (p. 52)." I'd rather sit by myself than witness their puffed-up pride and listen to their braggadocio.
By the way, I am not immune to this; I'm trying to overcome my human condition every single day. I confess that I am guilty of 'posing' every now and then.
Friends, if you are out and about, put your game face on. Be positive and energetic. Smile. "Fake it 'til you make it," as they say. But let me make this strong recommendation: don't fake it with your close friends, with God, or with yourself. First, be honest with yourself. Then be honest with God and with your closest advisors. We are here to help, or just to listen.
One of the reasons I enjoy what I do is that I get to meet with and help people when they are more in touch with their authentic selves. The loss of a job and the challenges that come with a career transition can remove several layers of pretense!
I get frustrated with the few clients who keep secrets from me. How am I supposed to help them when they don't lay all their cards on the table? They experience negative consequences like longer job searches, lower pay or less-than-satisfying jobs because they withheld information that I need to know in order to help them.
Which cards are you holding back? What do you need to disclose to your three closest advisors? What secrets are you keeping from God? (You're not doing a very good job on that one!) Think about it. Pray about it. Then do something about it.
See you tomorrow at JobSeekers, the place where we can be our authentic selves!

2. Success Story: God Blesses Manuel with Dream Job that Came from Nowhere
We love to hear from you when you land a new position. Please write and let us know how you found your job, what you learned from the experience, and how JobSeekers helped you.
Like me, Norma Manual is a career coach and an outplacement consultant. Three months ago she hired O'Farrell Career Management to reenergize her campaign. (Notice that the career coach needed a career coach; I used one myself 10 years ago when I was in the midst of a transition. We all need wise counsel.)
During the previous 17 months, she'd been doing consulting work, but was having a hard time getting back into a full-time job. That's where OCM came in. Norma landed her new job on the strength of a referral, a powerful résumé and one simple telephone interview. When she started her new job on Tuesday, she met her boss face-to-face for the first time.
Norma has been a real blessing to me. She's served on our board of directors, helped many people at JobSeekers of PTC, and she has given me encouragement when I've been down. I remember one letter she wrote to me exactly three years ago when I was freaking out. What a blessing that was.
She is the founder of College Park Job Seekers. I was their guest speaker on January 2nd and heard her good news as I sat in the audience. Good luck and God bless you Norma!

Dear Dave,
It was my desire to give this testimony and JobSeekers in person. But things happened very quickly after I accepted my new position. I want you to share some thoughts from my job search that may be helpful to some.
What a "journey" this has been for me, my husband and my family. Dave you have been a real blessing to me. In the end, my husband (recently laid off by Georgia-Pacific) and I have become more compassionate towards each other and have been humbled by this experience, which I hope will make us better people in the long run.
After months of preparation, networking with pure strangers and a zillion drafts of my resume, God did all the "heavy lifting." Even the final formal telephone panel interview, with notes in hand, marketing statements ready (which Dave helped me with) and pencils sharp, it turned out to be a one-on-one discussion where no hard questions were actually asked; instead the interviewer wanted to sell me on the opportunity.
The door God has opened is absolutely amazing. Here are some highlights:
After 20 months of unemployment, which includes some off-and-on consulting work, God has blessed me with my dream job – a job I did not know existed and one I did not apply for. Nevertheless, I have accepted an offer to join the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, in the newly formed Trade Office as a Trade Investigator.
This new opportunity promises to utilize my prior corporate outplacement background along with my maturity (their words, not mine) – and my management, strategic planning, training and writing skills.
I'm thrilled to join this close-knit team where I can continue to grow my career at the federal level. They are bringing me on during a time when they have been asked to move from a "division" to a federal office. In other words, the door has opened just when this group will be experiencing a complete reorganization – and they have asked me to come aboard for the ride!
The only unexpected turn of events is that my husband and I will be relocating near my eldest daughter to the Washington, DC area (at least for the next four years). My youngest daughter will be leasing our home in Henry County. Our two little grandsons in Virginia are excited beyond words.
I want to thank each of you for your continued support and encouragement through out this long process. Here are a few lessons I have learned that may be helpful to others:
1. God is God and I am not.
2. God loves me and has plans for my life; wonderful plans.
3. God does not use a "watch" but rather a "compass."
4. God is MORE concerned about the journey than the job.
5. God has wonderful plans for all of us as we navigate this journey of faith.
If you are like me, you will find solace and encouragement from Ephesians 3:20 which states in part: "God is able to do exceedingly MORE than you can ask or IMAGINE." He has certainly proven that to me.
Finally, noted writer Joseph Campbell wrote, "we must be willing to give up the life we had planned in order to gain the life that's waiting for us." So, our adventure begins...
Please remember to support the team at College Park Job Seekers and let's stay in touch.
I will think of you and smile while in my Friday morning meetings... and they will just have to wonder why. Know God is using you in a wonderful way in HIS service. Give my regards and special hugs to Linda, Michelle and my other good buddies. We have all come a long way baby. Stay encouraged; look for my occasional note on job stuff, entitled "From the Hill."
Love to each of you,
Norma Manuel

jobs in West Point, GA
Thank you, FPC member Susan, for this lead:
There will be 250 auto-supplier production jobs up for grabs Saturday at the Columbus Career Center, the Georgia Department of Labor said Monday.
A Kia supplier called Hyundai Mobis is seeking employees for a second shift at its 310,000-square-foot factory in West Point, Ga. The company makes front, rear and cockpit chassis modules for the Kia Sorento crossover vehicle that is being manufactured at the main Kia plant, which began production in November.
The recruitment will take place 9 a.m.-1 p.m. at the career center, 700 Veterans Parkway.
Mobis is expected to take applications and interview workers at the center. Those who are hired by the company will complete 12 hours of pre-employment training via the Georgia QuickStart program at West Georgia Technical College in LaGrange, Ga.
Basic qualifications include a high school or general education development diploma. Mechanical or electrical skills, as well as mathematics ability, are required. Automotive assembly-line experience is a plus, but not a necessity.
South Korea-based Hyundai Mobis announced in August 2007 that it was constructing a factory adjacent to the main Kia facility, creating 600 jobs. The price tag for the Mobis plant was around $60 million.
The auto supplier was founded in 1977 and is the largest auto parts manufacturer in Korea, with factories around the world. The company also has a plant near the Hyundai auto-assembly factory in Montgomery, Ala.
For more information, contact the Columbus Career Center at 706-649-7423.

Other Skills That Will Help You Get the Job

The Other Skills That Will Help You Get the Job: Part 2 of 4 - Body Language
A person can have all of the experience and technical skills the company is looking for but may not get hired if he does not demonstrate strong soft skills. Soft skills are the skills, abilities, and traits that pertain to personality, attitude, and behavior rather than formal or technical knowledge. It is the combination of abilities and soft skills that will set you apart from the crowd.
Soft skills include the following:
Active Listening
Body Language
Accepting Change
Good Attitude
Judi Adams Sanek, the founder and senior job search coach at RightChanges, the Affordable and Successful Job Search Coach, will address each of these in the four part series The Other Skills That Will Help You Get the Job.
In part one of the series we covered active listening and how important it is to all of us especially when we are in a job search.
http://rightchangesjobsearchcoach.blogspot.com/2009/12/other-skills-that-will-help-you-get-job.html
In part two, we are covering body language. To really understand the importance of body language, think back to a time when you asked someone you are close to what’s wrong and she said “nothing” but her body was saying you are in deep trouble. It may be the set jaw (like she is gritting her teeth). It may be the lack of eye contact. It may be the left hip thrown out to the side and the crossed arms. Many of us realize in this situation that the words and the body language do not match and we trust the body language more than the words spoken.
Body language is the most spontaneous, natural, and reliable form of communications. It makes up the majority of our communications (some say 75% or more). Many of our expressions come from the truth of body language. Here are a few common phrases.
I don’t trust him, he had beady eyes: pupils constrict when the person is being deceitful.
He was such an engaging speaker; he had them on the edge of their seats: When people are engaged with what someone is saying, they move forward, to the edge of their chairs.
She is stand offish: We expect people to stand within a certain space from us when they are engaged in a conversation (note: the definition of appropriate personal space differs by country). When a person stands outside of that space, further away than expected, it makes us uncomfortable.
He’s pushy: Conversely when a person stands too close to us, we feel they are pushy.
Get a grip on yourself: We find it calming to touch our upper arms during times of stress
Have you ever wondered why e-mail or text communications quickly escalate out of hand (out of hand - another phrased based on body language)? It is because the person is missing out on the majority of our message which is conveyed by inflection, tone, and body language.
Now that you see the importance and reliability of body language, imagine how important body language is to the job search.
Your Body Language: The message you are sending
The first step of the job search is Attitude for a reason. If you don’t have a positive attitude, it will show in your word choice, your energy, and your body language. Attitude is one of the three steps that must be addressed before you begin the job search or you will be sabotaging your own job effort.
When networking (which is where 90%+ of people will find their next job) and interviewing, your body language needs to convey confidence, a good attitude, and openness. It is natural to be somewhat nervous before networking and interviewing; your body language is important so you need to be aware of the message you are sending to others.
Realize you are valuable: review your accomplishment list before going out to a networking event to remind yourself that you are very accomplished. Your posture standing and seated should reflect your confidence. If you slouch, your body is basically saying “don’t hire me, I’m not worthy”.
Be prepared: review networking tips so that you are more prepared for how to make the most of the event.
Participate in mock interviews with a job networking volunteer or coach to get feedback on not only your responses and questions but also on your handshake and body language.
Breathe deeply before entering the room and smile.
Have a good handshake: The handshake should be the same for men and women. It should be web of hand to web of hand. The hands should be firm, not crunching or limp, and both people should be involved in the shaking (don’t leave it to the other person to shake your hand).
There is one handshake that I have titled (with all due respect) the “Queen Elizabeth handshake”, when the woman’s hand closes over the fingers of the other person (male or female). This form of handshake would be appropriate if we kissed the person’s hand like some people do with royalty. I had a female salesperson shake my hand this way once and I have to say it shocked me because good handshakes are a basic tool for salespeople. Years ago, I had the privilege to shake hands with Princess Sarah Ferguson (Fergie), Duchess of York on her visit to town and even though she is royalty, she shook hands like normal. We don’t kiss hands in business so the “Queen Elizabeth handshake” should never be used.
Leave your arms and legs uncrossed to reflect openness. Women, it is okay to cross your ankles. If you are cold, you can cross your arms to retain body heat but rub your arms (like you are generating heat) or mention that you are a bit cool so the other person doesn’t misinterpret your intention.
Lean forward as the other person is speaking to show interest (remember the phrase above “he had them on the edge of their seats”).
Mirror the speaker’s body language. I enjoy watching people while I am waiting for a flight or meeting. I noticed that men are better at mirroring each other’s body language than women. Look around the next time you are out. Men at a table will have similar body language; note especially their posture and arms. You do not want to take this to the level of mimicking the other person though.
Have direct eye contact with the other person to compliment the speaker and build trust in you. Have you ever been to a presentation and made eye contact with the speaker? You will notice that the speaker will continually return to face you while speaking.
In different parts of the US and in different countries, the amount of eye contact is different. I am from the south but lived in Chicago for many years. When I first moved to Chicago, I kept hearing “you aren’t from here, are you?” mostly in response to my southern accent. At times when I hadn’t spoken though it was because I made eye contact and smiled with people who passed me on the street or that I saw on the bus.
Keep your hands visible to indicate trustworthiness, i.e. that you aren’t hiding anything. This means do not hold your hands behind your back. Men, do not put your hands in your pockets.
Do not overly gesture while talking as it will detract from what you are saying.
In a group interview, make eye contact with the last person that spoke. Make sure though that during the meeting you make eye contact with everyone.

Have direct eye contact with the other person to compliment the speaker and build trust in you. Have you ever been to a presentation and made eye contact with the speaker? You will notice that the speaker will continually return to face you while speaking.
In different parts of the US and in different countries, the amount of eye contact is different. I am from the south but lived in Chicago for many years. When I first moved to Chicago, I kept hearing “you aren’t from here, are you?” mostly in response to my southern accent. At times when I hadn’t spoken though it was because I made eye contact and smiled with people who passed me on the street or that I saw on the bus.
Keep your hands visible to indicate trustworthiness, i.e. that you aren’t hiding anything. This means do not hold your hands behind your back. Men, do not put your hands in your pockets.
Do not overly gesture while talking as it will detract from what you are saying.
In a group interview, make eye contact with the last person that spoke. Make sure though that during the meeting you make eye contact with everyone.
