Rick Gillis

Rick Gillis is a pioneer of 21st century job search. Rick has aggressively studied the practice of job seeking from the perspective of both the employer and employee. It is based on these observations that he wrote his latest book: “The Real Secret to Finding a Job? Make Me Money or Save Me Money!” Rick’s 4th book, “Job! 3 Steps to Your Next” is due for publication this coming Spring. Rick founded The Really Useful Job Search Company after recognizing that the disconnect between job seekers and professional recruiters is profound. Rick raises eyebrows at live events by saying that “Job seeker’s don’t know how to compete.” Rick’s ‘claim to fame’ is his creation of the Short-Form/”Pre-Resume” and his ‘mandatory’ Personal Inventory Worksheet—a record of a person’s professional and personal achievements. Rick is an acknowledged expert in web based applicant-tracking systems, resume-filtering software and, of course, Internet employment protocols.
