It’s All About My Skills...Right? by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 In a job hunt, I often hear job seekers complain about not getting a job even though they were a “perfect fit”. Maybe they had done exactly the same kind of work at a competitor. Why wouldn’t they get hired for this position? I usually don’t have to talk to them very long, before it becomes obvious why they didn’t get the job, and usually it has nothing to do with their skills! Employment history, track record of advan... |

Looking For a Job? Turn OFF the TV! by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 One of the most valuable assets you can have in a job search is a PMA (Positive Mental Attitude). It makes you a more attractive candidate to any employer, and makes your search much easier to endure. One of the biggest killers of a positive attitude is the TV! Watching the evening news or one of the 24-hour News Networks, you’d think the unemployment rate was 92% rather than 8%! They obviously don’t believe in putting... |

Social Media Guidelines for Your Online Job Search by Joshua Waldman - Nov, 2009 Social Media can be a real time sink. There is no doubt. And with out a strategy, the danger of spending hours online and getting nothing accomplished is very real. So in response to this apparent need of saving people time online, Social Media Aggregation services were invented. These services allow you to simply post your update once, and 40 of your social media sites get the update simultaneously. Seems like a good id... |

Standing Out In The Crowd! by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 In your job search it’s critical to stand out from the sea of other applicants, but how do you do that in a way that attracts an employer rather than putting them off? Here are some Do’s and Don’ts! Do: * Actually call and talk to someone in the organization (puts you ahead of 90% of applicants) * Dig for possible contacts you have that might make an introduction for you * Present a resume showing previous accompli... |

Targeting Companies For a Job In Five Steps! by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 In today’s job market, it’s not very effective to simply respond to job postings online and wait for a call. It only makes you one of dozens, or hundreds that are doing the same thing with each of those postings. It is much more effective to pick one, or five, or ten companies you most want to work for, and execute a strategy to target them whether they have an appropriate opening posted or not. Here are 5 steps: 1 ~ Pre... |

The "Weakness" Question! by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 You’re in an interview, things seem to be going well, and then they ask one of the most commonly asked, and most poorly answered questions: “What do you consider to be your greatest weakness?” Common thinking has been to give an answer that turns a negative into a positive; like: “My biggest weakness is that I work too hard and don’t know when to turn it off sometimes. Or “I push myself too hard.” To which, the typical ... |

The ‘Magic Bullet’ for a Job Search! by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 Tricked you! Sorry about that. You probably looked at this article because you’d like to know what the ‘Magic Bullet’ for a job search is. “What’s the one thing I can do to guarantee a new job quickly?!?” That’s what most job seekers want to know! Unfortunately...there is no ‘Magic Bullet’. There is no one thing that works every time. There isn’t a list of 5 things done together that work every time. The fact is: you have to d... |

Time for a Career Change? by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 It’s a tough economy! No question about it. As people get laid-off, many find that it’s difficult to find their next job. Many decide that since they’re struggling to find a new job in their field, they may be better off making a career change. Is that the best answer? Will it make their job search easier? Maybe, but not likely! There are, at times, very good reasons to leave the old behind and pursue something new. H... |

What is an "Elevator Speech"? by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 A “30-Second Resume”; an “Elevator Speech”; a “Marketing Blurb”...what are they, and do I really need one? Imagine you walk into an office building for an appointment. You’re looking sharp because you’re on your way to a meeting with a recruiter on the 22nd floor. You step onto the elevator, and you notice someone that you used to live next door to in the past, but haven’t seen in years. You say “Hi” to each other, and they... |
