examples and stories from the real world. He cuts through the often conflicting
advice job seekers receive and reduces the process of finding a new job
to a simple and easy to follow guide. You are asked to determine whether
you have a Shark or Bottom Feeder mentality. Through entertaining and
often humorous questions and anecdotes he makes the path to successful
re-employment simple and easy to understand. Reading this book will be
the next best thing to sitting in one of Larry’s workshops.

Are you a passive Bottom Feeder in the world of job seekers or do you
aggressively hunt for the most desirable positions available? If you had
to describe your method for finding great job opportunities, how would
you describe it? Are you like the countless number of unemployed or underemployed
who gather in large groups, most often unwittingly, and chase after the
few jobs that are tossed out by companies that were forced to resort to
advertising the position?
Life led you to where you’re today, holding this book. Whether you
buy this book or skim through it and put it back, will tell me which you’re,
a Bottom Feeder or a Shark.
What were the circumstances? Did technology change your world or were
you downsized, restructured, adjusted, or any number of euphemisms used
to soften the blow of your lost job? Don’t waste another minute
of precious time or another unit of much needed energy rehashing about
what got you to this place. You’re here. Deal with it.
Now before you get offended, I think that you show definite signs of having
SHARK potential. A real Bottom Feeder would never have had the nerve or
inclination to pick up this book. Before you begin to pat yourself on
the back too vigorously, I have to take this opportunity to tell you that
it was your Bottom Feeder habits that created your current woes. If you
had always utilized the SHARK Techniques you wouldn’t be reading
a book on finding another job.
Okay, that’s the last time I’m going to give you any more
grief about past mistakes, unless you force me. As a Shark, you’re
going to be in greater control over your employment situation. You will
be the one to decide how long you stay and when you move on. As a Shark,
you will glide through the waters of the work world with greater confidence
and presence. The Bottom Feeders will be watching you pass them by and
wonder why you’re so lucky at landing the choice positions. They
will attribute it to luck but you and I will know that it was your SHARK
Techniques that gave you the edge.
