AL SMITH

Executive Career Counselor, Author, Keynote Speaker

Al Smith is author of the Amazon #1 Bestselling Job Search “encyclopedia,” HIRED! Every Employment Method (look for the book with the gold cover), and co-author of the Amazon Top Rated job search manual, HIRED! Paths to Employment in the Social Media Era. For good reasons, Al is widely known as “The HIRED! Guy.”

He has been an executive for seven companies in five industries. Al’s record of success as a multiple award-winner in each industry, speaks to his innate ability to transfer skills to changing landscapes. Those skills now aid candidates with their most challenging “sales” and “marketing” experience: Job Transition.

Al has adapted techniques from Xerox, Kimberly-Clark, American Management Association, Miller-Heiman, Systema, and others morphing his tested experiences with a proprietary methodology interspersed deliberately with humor.

Al’s proprietary Words-to-Work™ LinkedIn Page 1 keyword discovery method is the surest way to page 1 on LinkedIn and through the “Black Hole” of online resume submissions while exponentially increasing profile views for the elusive Hidden Job Market. “If you don’t have the right words, in the right quantity you won’t find work!” Einstein said, “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t know it well enough.”  If correct, few know how to help candidates secure employment better than Al Smith, theHIREDguy.

Al is Director of the Unity North Atlanta Church Career Ministry, volunteers 20% of the workweek, and is an entertaining, insightful keynote speaker.
