The 2nd Easiest Way to Get A Job

Do you hear people complain about Nepotism? So what? They are just jealous. Sure, it does not sound fair but there is a HUGE secret that you may be missing.  Hold your breath!  Here it is!!!

RELATIONSHIPS MATTER.

Doesn’t sound impressive? OK, how many salesmen make a fortune by knowing the right people, having a relationship with the right people, having things in common with the right people?

That does not sound fair either! What about performance, accomplishments, and solving problems?  Sure, they matter – eventually and in the event of a tie.

My point is that most people will emotionally want to hire and promote those whom they have a relationship with, can trust, and have things in common with more than the hard workers do may be highly accomplished.

Smacks of nepotism? If you don’t think this is true, just look around. “Fairness” has nothing to do with it. People buy based upon emotion, likeability, and what they “feel” comfortable with. They also buy on the “known”. If they know you, there is less perceived risk in you deceiving them.

So, the 2^nd easiest way of getting a job is to seek out those whom you know the most, who know you, and who have the most in common with you. After family and friends, who might that be?

How about those whom you hang out with, play sports with, party with, live next door, meet at your child’s sporting events or school events?

Who do you know in these categories? Have you told them that you are looking for a job? Outside of your family and friends, these people know you the best and have some level of a bond with you. Most will be willing to help, if asked.

This is the 2^nd easiest way of getting a job.
