Do You Know What You’re Looking For? by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 So often, I have people that are looking for a new job, network with me but they can’t tell me what kind of position they are seeking. Sometimes they only know they don’t want to do the same thing as their previous position, or they don’t want to ‘limit’ their options, or they just don’t know what’s available. They tell me they are “open right now”. I can’t help you if you can’t tell me what it is you want! That may soun... |

How Having A Blog Can Help You Get A Job by Miriam Salpeter - Nov, 2009 I am so excited to share news from a client who just landed a great job. In and of itself, a client landing a job isn’t extraordinary – that is the point of hiring me to help, after all! What is special about this client is that she was in a transitional search. She was finding that there were not a lot of opportunities in her field, so she needed to make a change. She was looking for jobs doing things she had not done before... |

Keeping A Job You Hate by Karen Burns - Nov, 2009 This is a painful issue always. But especially now. Times are tough. People are terrified about losing their jobs and not being able to find another one. So they’re hanging on to what they’ve got, whether or not they’re miserable. But hating your job is awful and feels even awfuler in these last dwindling days of August, when it seems everyone is on vacation or otherwise enjoying life. Even President Obama. Not so ... |

Know Thy Customer! by Bernadette Boas - Nov, 2009 As a business owner myself of a growing business I spend a great deal of time networking throughout the week with peers, service partners, customers and of course prospects. What I am often surprised by is the number of business owners who introduce themselves and goes on to explain that they provide their services or products ‘to anyone that needs...”.

Learn to Dig Your Well Before You’re Thirsty! by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 If you’ve been reading much on this site or reading virtually any other job search advice, you know that networking is critical to landing a new job. However, most people only begin building a network once they are unemployed. Better late than never. Networking can be far more effective, though, if you have an extensive address book of professional contacts that you’ve been building over time. Begin building your network as... |

No Job and Running Out of Money by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 It’s a difficult time in the job market and I’ve been talking to many more people lately that are in dire straits. The lack of income for a longer than expected timeframe has taken it’s toll on budgets, mortgages, and unfortunately...marriages. Savings have been used up, unemployment is running out, and debts are piling up. The financial stress often carries over into interviews and it sabotages the chance of getting a job eve... |

No-Nos For New Jobs by Karen Burns - Nov, 2009 A friend just landed a new job! Woo-hoo! She phoned with the good news and then asked this question, “Do you have any tips for how I should act my first week on the job?” Ha. Of course, WG has tips. Weirdly, they seem to all be negative–what not to do. Hmmm. Anyway, here they are: Don’t be late. Are you thinking, “Duh”? But being late that first week brands you as a tardy person. You don’t want this. Even if yo... |

Planning Your Job Search! by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 I teach an 8-week job search class, and one of the most common comments I get from participants is that they don’t feel like they’re being as productive in their search as they could be. For most people, when they are in a job, they have a task to accomplish, a schedule they keep, a routine they go through each day, and someone that’s placed expectations on them to get certain things done. When they become unemployed, ther... |

The Introvert’s Guide to Landing a New Job by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 From the outset...it must be understood that THE best way to land a new job is through networking, and networking is most effective over the phone and face-to-face. However, for many people, the thought of actually taking the initiative to call someone they don’t know is overwhelming and often is just not going to happen. For those people, contact online and by email is much more palatable and realistic. Here are some poin... |
