Psychologist and author Robert Cialdini labeled techniques for influence and persuasion as "weapons of influence." In this online course, I have assembled an arsenal of influence weapons for career advancement, all of which I've used successfully over my career with hiring others — and when seeking other positions myself. 

​

This online career strategy online course is designed to get you to stop reinventing the wheel after every layoff or job change and replacing that inefficient process with a scalable, repeatable system of your own to keep you at the top of every decision maker's list. 

​

This course will show you how to:

​

  • Navigate the world of the decision maker so you can target an engagement strategy that addresses the issues and concerns that are important to them (remember: it's never about you...it's always about them).

​

  • Stage the release of your "weapons of influence" (cover letter, résumé, supportive documents) through the hiring cycle to maintain high levels of interest in your branded value and expertise.

​

  • Play to the associative memory model in the brains of decision makers that keep your name and your brand top of mind throughout the hiring process.

​

  • Get others to promote the value your branded expertise provides (creating brand equity).

​

  • Rethink how you structure and use your cover letter as a weapon of influence (psst...it's a marketing letter!) to get to the next step, which is an interview.

​

  • Restructure your résumé as a document highlighting how your value and expertise contribute to the higher strategic objectives of the organization.

​​

  • Create and launch a portfolio of the social proof of your branded value and expertise throughout a hiring process.

​

  • Learn how to articulate impression management language to help you continue moving through the hiring cycle/process.

​

  • Apply simple psychological strategies and tactics that help you control the flow of any interview and how to use "pre-suasion" techniques  with decision makers to boost your chances of an offer.

​

  • Continue promoting your branded value, expertise, and play off a successful interview with post-interview strategies to keep up your momentum. 

​​

  • Learn the one secret that you must use to tip the scales in your favor for job offer, promotion, or contract award.
