Find Your Job

by David Meyer

Phyl Terry offers a systematic approach to building job-hunting support, gaining crucial feedback and finding the job you really want.

Searching for a job can be daunting, emotionally draining and possibly unpleasant – especially if you do it alone. Phyl Terry – founder and CEO of Collaborative Gain – believes asking for help enables you to handle job transitions more adeptly. He urges you to seek guidance from your mentors and to establish mutual support arrangements with other job seekers via a “Job Search Council.” Terry’s concise, insightful guide explains how to ask for help, define your career goals, locate the right job and negotiate for success.

“Job Search Council”

Terry notes studies showing that asking people for help makes them feel important and honored. Be clear that you seek assistance as an informed colleague, not as a dependent who expects somebody to do your work for you.
