Twitter Replaces Job Boards?

TweetDeck's recent news (read article from ClickZ) about partnering with TwitJobSearch is a sign. A sign that we seek a quick solution to finding a job. There are millions of tweets every day and many are by recruiters and employers leveraging this medium to find suitable candidates. It weeds out those who do not "speak" social media. It weeds out those who are not up on technology. It weeds out people period.

While this is a

Broke your new year's resolution? Turn to the Chinese New Yr (of the tiger) to re-ignite your job search

Do you know what February 14th is? No, I'm not thinking of cupids and arrows to herald Valentine's day. It's the start of the Chinese new year! The Chinese new year operates on a twelve year cycle, based on one's birthday and birth year. Unlike the Western astrological model which features Zodiac signs, the Eastern version is characterized by twelve distinct animals to denote interests and differences. Have you broken your New Year's resolution? Relax. The statistics indicate that many well-int… Continue

What to do if you Don't Know what you want to do

I was talking to my sister recently about her son who is a freshman in college. Suddenly he is not so sure he wants to keep his major, engineering. Kids have it tough because it is a hard decision to make at 17, "What do you want to do for THE REST OF YOUR LIFE?" I didn't even realize what I wanted to do until I was about 26, so I feel for the younger kids who are pressured early on to 'pick a majo

How to Stay Positive and Reinvent Yourself While Unemployed

While pickings are slim, and there is a lot of competition for existing jobs, things are never as bleak as they appear to be. Unemployment is only a state of mind. If you don't like living in that state, move! What do I mean by "move"? Go out and participate in activities that might put you in line for new opportunities. It is true that the right job is hard to find. However, staying positive, persistent and patient will help you to cope. You also need to be flexible and ready to reinvent yours… Continue

How to get a Good Reference... no matter HOW you left the job

Employee references can be the linchpin of a successful job search. If you nailed the resume, cover letter, phone interview and in-person interview, then it comes down to your references.

HOW TO ANSWER THE DREADED JOB INTERVIEW QUESTION: WHAT ARE YOUR SALARY REQUIREMENTS?

Very early in our careers, we learn that salary negotiations are a very integral part of the interview process. Have you ever interviewed for a job, and the company absolutely loved you? Then they asked, "what are your salary requirements?" If you did not come already prepared to answer that question, it can affect your future potential earning for many years to come. When asked, what are your salary requirements? Some candidates answer the question right away and throw out a figure. However, i… Continue

It cannot be avoided. It is the new year and talk of resolutions will abound. However, rather than blog about new year's resolutions in December when people are speaking of future commitments or January 1st when we are still buzzing with excitement that we survived another calendar year.

Give your job search the one-two punch

Have you ever wondered why you haven't heard back from a job you posted for? What about that "hot" lead that turned frigidly cold? Why are things just not happening in your job search? A quick analysis may indicate that you've only taken the first step, you need to move on to step two, or as the post title implies, the one-two punch. There is a lot of competition for jobs right now. It only makes sense that you are going to have to do more than ever before to be the selected candidate for a job… Continue
