Number one tool in finding a job "you"

As I mentioned before in a previous post, you as yourself are your most important tool when finding a job. If you wonder what I mean then you must be eager to find a job. When looking for a job, employers are more interested in you as a possible candidate  if they can either match a face with a name or  from hearing from you personally. The idea in this all is to basically sell yourself to any employer. Make them want you more then you want them. A easy way to do this and now you don't have to be a genius to do so, is to speak highly of your self in a professional manner. When I call to see if people are hiring, I say, " Hi my Norman Pelletier and I was wondering if you have any job opportunities available". Now if they simply say  they are not hiring a simple "Thank you, have a nice day", will do fine. Since a employer runs a business you can say that there is a professional stand point in the hiring process. When calling to check up on the status of your application ,you should always first say who you are so that they dont have to ask you after, and you should basically dont take no for an answer. A couple of years ago. I applied for a truck driving position and they said that they would call me if they were interested. Now i never wait for anyone to call me. i usually give it a day or two and then i call back. Now this particulur employer said that they were still interviewing, but for three weeks of interviewing, told me that they were not as focused on hiring someone as i was wanting the job. So every two or three days I would just give them a ring, and soon enough i got a phone call back to start the following week. Now I can clearly say that they must of interviewed tons of people within those three weeks and i can also say that there were probably  people more qualified for the position. So my strength in getting hired is to be persistent and always follow up no matter what the employer is telling you.
