      Don’t hang that breaking ball - Todd Hicks

      Don’t hang that breaking ball: How to not crush your job search, career or presentation

      By Todd Hicks

      Copyright in December 2016, revised in January 2020

      About the book

      There are only so many chances you get while seeking a job and any mistake, especially a significant one, can hurt your ability to find a steady job or even a temp job for many years – you may even feel as though you surrendered a mammoth homerun on a mistake pitch. Having experienced this, I wrote this book based on my personal experience.

      I have made many job search mistakes and taken a public speaking course. Before landing a full-time, temp-to-hire job as a warehouse picker-packer eight months ago, I hadn’t worked on a steady basis since leaving my job as a market research telephone interviewer in April 2000.

      By reading this book, you will learn how to not blow your chances of getting hired plus you will learn how to keep your job and advance in your career. Also, you will learn other steps you have to take in order to land a position plus you will learn how to write a cover letter and a resume.

      Speech management tips plus sales interaction tips and instruction on how to last on the job as a substitute teacher are also provided. As you exhibit the best possible interview, sales or speech presentation, you will win over the recruiter, your prospects or your audience more easily.

      Introduction

      Are you frustrated from having too much trouble landing a position? Being in your shoes for all these years,
