let them know she was looking for a permanent position. She received two short-term placements and had good reviews from both employers. As a result of this feedback, the temp agency became familiar with her work style, skills, and personality.
    On Elizabeth’s next assignment she hit the jackpot! She was placed as a Tech Analyst into a company that helps organizations recycle and go green. The corporate culture was a perfect fit and within two weeks she had a full-time job offer. She’s still working there fifteen years later, with great work life benefits, and hasn’t looked back since.
    6. RESPONDING TO ADS ON CAREER WEBSITES & TRADE MAGAZINES
    Match, eHarmony, and PlentyofFish. Ring a bell? Stripped bare, these online dating sites are a way for people to advertise themselves. The job-search equivalent of these sites would be SimplyHired, Indeed, CareerBuilder, TheLadders, and Monster. When an employer advertises on one of these sites, they are saying: “These are my requirements for my perfect match for this position.” If a person meets the qualifications, they may be a fit.
    As I mentioned earlier in Chapter 3, these sites are kind of a last resort for employers due to their cost. When employers advertise here, they are looking for someone specific, so make sure to pay attention to the requirements before applying. Then follow up using the advice from later chapters.

    A friend of mine named Henry owned a small accounting firm two hours outside of Los Angeles. Frustrated by small town life, he sold the practice and started looking for a job in L.A. He had heard about “family offices” (billionaires like the Rockefellers have their own accounting departments) so he searched for them on CareerBuilder and Monster. By doing so, he came across a headhunter named Larry who advertised one of these jobs. Henry reached out immediately.
    Within a week, Henry met with Larry, who said that the family office job had been filled. But he asked Henry if he knew what Business Management was. Henry said he didn’t know and listened to Larry’s explanation. “Well, really rich people, who can’t quite afford their own accountant staff like the Rockefellers, hire firms to pay their bills and take care of their taxes. These firms hire Business Managers. I have a job opening in Beverly Hills, are you interested?”
    Days later Henry had an interview in Beverly Hills, and within a week he had an offer. Now he has an office with floor-to-ceiling windows and a view of the Hollywood sign. His six-figure starting salary was nice too. Henry went to a small Christian university in the Midwest and never expected to be working with A-list celebrities. But he knew that exploring career websites and networking were the keys to success.
    Career websites are good starting points. Use what you find and follow up accordingly.
    7. CRAIGSLIST AND NEWSPAPER ADS
    Depending on the type of position and salary, Craigslist and newspapers can be effective. Generally these methods are cost-effective ways of advertising a position for a startup or mid-sized company. Some great jobs and employers can definitely be found there.
    Watch out for spam job postings, though. If the job posting lists a lot of specific job responsibilities and benefits, it is most likely legit. If it suggests you can become a millionaire with little training or by building your own “brand,” you are most likely going to be selling stuff door-to-door or making a ton of phone calls selling BS services.
    An acquaintance of mine answered a vague Craigslist ad a few years ago that advertised the potential to make hundreds of dollars a day. When he showed up to the warehouse, he and several others were loaded into a van and driven an hour away. Once they arrived in a not so good residential neighborhood, the group leader instructed them to sell tickets for a large county fair and to not come back until they were all sold. The group was told in a threatening manner that if they did not
