A how-to for tradespeople
Keep a resume that matches your LinkedIn, apply with clear standing rules, catch a real recruiter email in minutes, put every interview on the calendar, and never let an assistant send a message or take a test for you. This is the playbook for building that setup with an AI assistant and everyday tools.

You do not need to set up an AI assistant or any of the tools in this guide. After you pay, Hank personally runs the job-search work for you and reaches out to start onboarding.
What the setup can do
The full guide walks through how to build each one. Here is what they are, in a couple of lines.
One source document, exported to PDF and DOCX, kept consistent with LinkedIn. Exact titles, honest contract periods for gaps, and certifications with dates — including expired ones.
Headline, titles, and Open to Work, tuned to the resume. Plus a hard-won warning: a sloppy delete can remove both copies of a job, and adding a role can rewrite your headline.
Saved searches and alerts on LinkedIn and Indeed, company career sites (UKG, Workday, iCIMS), a target-role list, and a simple tracker so nothing falls through.
Standing instructions your assistant follows every time: one consistent name and address, a salary answer you decided in advance, and a hard rule — the AI never takes assessments for you.
A dedicated job-search mailbox and a watcher that runs every 15 minutes. Real recruiter inquiries notify you in chat and place an automated call to your cell, with quiet hours at night.
Every interview, call, appointment, and deadline is added automatically. Proposed times get a tentative hold until you confirm, always in your time zone.
Drafts come to you first. They go out only when you say so, in the same email thread, with the current resume attached and times written in your zone.
Recordings and transcripts (where the law allows) emailed back to yourself, then summarized and categorized by your assistant so next steps are not left to memory.
Track pay and per diem math, and the paperwork clock: I-9, DocuSign, drug screen, background check. A missed deadline can cost a start date.
Secrets stay in a vault, not in a chat. Links get checked. The guide covers how to spot scam recruiters before you send a document or a fee.
A taste of the guide
These are samples, not the full instructions. The paid guide has the steps, the prompts, and the pitfalls around each one.
Salary fields. When a form lets you type, “Open to offers” keeps the conversation going. When it forces a number, pick one figure in advance and use that same number every time, so your applications stay consistent.
Employment gaps. A contract or self-employed stretch with real dates is clearer — and more honest — than a hole on the page. Use the same wording on the resume and on LinkedIn.
LinkedIn edits. If you delete a duplicate job entry, reload the profile and confirm the original is still there. Some edits remove both, and adding a role can silently change your headline.
Quiet hours. If your email watcher can place a phone call, give it a window (for example, 7:00 a.m. to 9:45 p.m. in your time zone) so a job-alert digest does not ring the phone at 2 a.m.
Why pay $5
Anyone can say “keep your resume consistent” or “have an assistant watch your inbox.” The full guide is the part that takes time to write down: the exact steps, the prompts you can paste into an AI assistant, a ready-to-adapt routine for the email watcher, a tracker layout, and a closing checklist.
It is written for people who work with their hands and are looking for the next lead, foreman, supervisor, or project role — not for software recruiters. You do not need to be technical. You do need an AI assistant you already use, or are willing to try, and the everyday tools named in each chapter (a spreadsheet, an email inbox, a calendar, and optionally a phone-call service such as Twilio).
Five dollars is a one-time payment for that playbook. There is no membership, and no claim that a guide alone will get you hired. If you would rather not build any of it, the $50 option is Hank doing the work with you, in person, after a real conversation — still with no job guarantee.
Before you buy
Immediate access to the full written guide, and an access code emailed to the address you give Stripe. You can log in again later at the login page. There is no subscription.
Hank personally runs the job-search work for you and will contact you to start onboarding. You also get the full written guide and an access code. You will be asked for your name, email, phone, and target role and location. This is not a guarantee of a job.
No. The guide is written for a general-purpose AI assistant that can follow standing rules, draft email, and run a recurring routine. Use whichever assistant you already trust.
Enter your access code. It is in the email sent after payment, and on the page you saw when checkout finished.
