********************************

After nearly 10 years in commercial real estate in El Paso, Texas, Rick relocated to Houston seeking a change of career. In a very short time, he became employee number one of a brand new internet start-up called HoustonEmployment.com, the first Houston-based local employment site. As a direct result of Rick’s sales efforts, HE.com quickly became the go-to site for a host of the most recognized corporations located in Houston such as Compaq Computer (now HP), Continental Airlines, The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Treatment Center, Shell Oil Company, Rice University and even major league baseball’s Houston Astros.

In early 1998, Rick was asked to speak to a job seeker’s networking group on how to use the internet in the job search. During that first presentation, Rick began studying job seeking. Watching, listening and learning from job seekers as well as the human resource and staffing company professionals he was meeting on a daily basis, Rick developed the original version of what soon became known as “Guerilla Job Search Tactics” - a presentation on the fundamentals of the contemporary job search. Guerilla Job Search Tactics soon became the book: REALLY Useful Job Search Tactics.

The central theme of Rick's compelling message? “Show me, as an employer, how you are going to make me money or save me money™ - and I will assure you of finding the job you want.”

This basic premise applies to all aspects of the job search from the preparation of your Pre- Resume™ and “30-second elevator pitch” to all the interviews that result. Even more importantly, it has been proven to apply to all levels of job seeking - from entry level to the boardroom. It is this simple statement, coupled with his energetic and entertaining style, that has launched Rick’s professional speaking career and led to his radio show “Employment Radio with Rick Gillis”.
