I just got
FIRED!
![Page 2: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Fired, laid off, downsized…
Such ugly, scary words
![Page 3: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Reduction in force, terminated, streamlined…
Whatever you call it,
I’m now looking for
another job.
![Page 4: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Will you please join me?
In my job search?
![Page 5: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
At least during this slide show.
Then you can go back to
your “safe” job…
![Page 6: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
So here you go, you’ll need this to get started…
What are you waiting for?

Pink Slip
You may have been employee of the month… but we don’t need you anymore. Bye!
![Page 8: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Just so you know, I really was downsized.
It happened over the phone.
![Page 9: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The next week, about ½ the company was let go.
None of us were prepared
for a job search.
![Page 10: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
I started my job search somewhat excited…
I knew my next job was
going to be way better than what I had just left.
![Page 11: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
After all, I had all the right things on my resume!
Big job titles. Quantifiable results. MBA. Bilingual.
Leadership galore.
![Page 12: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The hardest part of my job search would be…
Turning down great job offers,
as I was sure to have
many great offers!
![Page 13: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
But my job search went on for weeks. Months.
It really sucked.
![Page 14: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
I hated being a third-class citizen.
Even dogs get more respect than job seekers.
![Page 15: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Recruiters and HR… they had it all!
Software!
Power (to hire me)!
Paychecks!
![Page 16: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
I just wanted some respect, like I had before.
I was General Manager!
People laughed at my jokes!
People returned my calls!
![Page 17: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
One day a recruiter called to make an appointment.
![Page 18: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
I opened my Excel spreadsheet to make a note.
So I wouldn’t forget the appointment, even though it didn’t
sound very good.
![Page 19: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
And it hit me… like a ton of bricks…
What if….?
![Page 20: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What if the job seeker, the 3rd class citizen, had …
(the suspense is
killing me!)
![Page 21: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
A real tool… not an Excel spreadsheet.
Not a spiral notebook.
Definitely not 3x5 cards!
![Page 22: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
I used to have real tools… when I had a job.
Back when I was a
1st class citizen.
![Page 23: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What if I could have my old CRM functionality
CRM
=
Customer Relationship Management
![Page 24: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
But without all the sales jargon?
And sans sales reports (!!)
![Page 25: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Relationship management for my job search!
{brilliant!}
![Page 26: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
It would be a website, so I could access the info from
Anywhere!
![Page 27: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Instead of sales jargon, it would have career stuff…
![Page 28: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Advice from career coaches, resume writers,
“nurture network relationships”
“keep track of where you apply”
“make sure you follow-up!”
![Page 29: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Networking experts,… all the stuff they say to do…
“do this!”
“do that!”
:: lots to do – hard to manage ::
![Page 30: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
I would be able to DO IT ALL in this website!
How cool would that be?
![Page 31: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
And it would live forever, so I could ignore it for a while…
You know, if I got wrapped-up
while I was in-between job searches ;)
![Page 32: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
But come back to it when I really needed it.
Like, in the next job search?
![Page 33: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
But wait… my next job won’t be my last??
The gov’t says I’ll be in transition every 3 to 5 years. YUCK!
![Page 34: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
And I hear about 80% of jobs are found through networking.
Maybe between 25% and 80%, depending on (a lot of things).
![Page 35: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
What if my job search tool was really a career tool?
A long term tool, not a
band aid solution.
![Page 36: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
What if this tool helped me even when I had a job?
Even… if I was happily employed?
(gasp!)
![Page 37: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
What if I could be way more prepared for the next search?
This means nurturing my relationships. All the time…
![Page 38: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
That’s it. I decided to move forward. I could figure it out.
It’s just a simple web-based CRM suite that is optimized for
professionals to manage their careers, right?
![Page 39: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
As I continued my job search, I started what would become
At least, I thought it would become…
![Page 40: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
A passive revenue stream.
Good
=
Multiple streams of income
![Page 41: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
I didn’t want an employer to have 100% control over…
![Page 42: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
My income. Anymore.
That would be like
putting all my eggs
in one basket!
![Page 43: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Once I got started, I was hooked.
I was in my comfort zone – doing web stuff again like a
1st class citizen!
![Page 44: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
It didn’t help that I got such great feedback.
College career centers.
Job search coaches. Resume writers.
THEY LOVED IT!
![Page 45: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
We came up with a catchy name. It wasn’t cliché.
In fact, it broke the rules of good domain names (it’s too long).
![Page 46: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Instead of calling it CareerHelper.com …
Or JobSearchTool or CareerWolf or CareerTiger or
any of those other easy-to-think of names.
![Page 47: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
We named it JibberJobber.com
(thanks Tige ;))
![Page 48: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
We launched JibberJobber.com on May of 2006.
That’s like 200 years ago, in Internet Years! So, we’re
200 years old (?).
![Page 49: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
And we’ve been called a lot of things.
Our favorite is “The Gold Standard in Career Management Systems.”
Or, Career Management 2.0.
![Page 50: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
We’re not a social network.
Nope. There are enough
of those in this world.
![Page 51: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
We are a tool for you. Unless HR is managing your career.
(we don’t recommend
that strategy)
![Page 52: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
So come on over… get a free account, and get started.
Free = free for life
With an optional upgrade
($9.95/month is inexpensive!)
![Page 53: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

And start managing your own career.
Because no one else really cares.
Except your spouse.
And maybe your parents ;)
![Page 55: I Just Got Fired](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549ae888b4795910098b462a/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
