Seven Observations From My Day at the Job Fair by Dawn Bugni - Nov, 2009 Today, I’m sharing some observations and insights gained while volunteering to do resume reviews at a local mall for a job fair. To say I’m disgusted by what I saw is an understatement. And I’m not talking about the resumes. I’m used to seeing boring career autobiographies, all out career confessionals and self-centered, “this is what I want” documents. That’s not what bothered me. That can easily be fixed. That’s what I do. W... |

Is There A Reason You Are Not Getting A Job? by Miriam Salpeter - Nov, 2009 Let me tell you the tale of two job seekers. One has been out of a job for almost a year. She is really tired of looking for work, and chafes at the idea of ramping up her networking. She “doesn’t have time” to optimize her LinkedIn profile and focus on using Twitter for the job hunt. Even thought she has a great resume and terrific experience, she has a tough time getting engaged in the hunt and she has nothing good to say... |

Is Your Job Search “Cookie-Cutter” or “Hand-Dropped”? by Dawn Bugni - Nov, 2009 One of the first questions I ask clients in the resume creation process is who’s our audience? I tell them we have to know what our buyer is buying before we can sell to them. I may conduct all my business over the telephone, but I know a “deer in the headlights” look when I hear one. If necessary, I back up a bit and say, “OK, let’s talk about, how you’re searching.” I want clients to see their skills as a product, the hir... |

Job Search Tenacity Through a Blind Dog’s Eyes by Dawn Bugni - Nov, 2009 Bart wandered in our lives on a Saturday night. Strangely enough, he appeared on the eve of the day we said good-bye to Sadie. It was almost as if he knew there’d be an opening for a dog at our house and he was Johnny-on-the-spot ready to fill it. We had and now, thanks to Bart, still have six dogs... At first glance, I thought he was a young dog. Always smiling, tail wagging, full of energy and happy, incredibly, smile-ins... |

Look At Every Available Option To Land A Job by Miriam Salpeter - Nov, 2009 I recently watched 20/20. A very interesting show with the authors of Superfreakonomics, Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner. James Altucher from the Wall Street Journal writes: SuperFreakonomics,” by the economist Steven Levitt and writer Stephen Dubner, is not only a book with mind-blowing ideas, innovative research and quality investigative journalism, it’s also a story about creativity and what it takes to get the mindset... |

ROI, Your Job Search And Social Media by Miriam Salpeter - Nov, 2009 “What’s the ROI? How do you know you are GETTING something from it? How much time do you spend?” These are questions a friend of mine asks when I talk about how much I enjoy using Twitter to connect with colleagues and job seekers. She wants quantified RESULTS. How much money did I earn from it? How many clients do I have because of Twitter? She’s busy. She needs to make every second count. I’m thinking, “Do you ask abou... |

Targeted Company Searches by Dawn Bugni - Nov, 2009 The Professional Association of Resume Writers had a great conversation on their elist about how to identify companies in a specific geographic areas – like San Francisco metro and in a specific industry — life medical device or biotech – recently. The ideas for conducting targeted searches were so good, I consolidated all the posts and am sharing the information here. Linkedin: Create an account, if you don’t already ha... |

Healing Tips for the Broken Hearted Job Seeker by Joshua Waldman - Nov, 2009 Someone once told me that a corporation was a nasty thing to fall in love with...because it will NEVER love you back. The rules of loyalty in the work force are changing. No one can deny that. However, knowing this doesn’t change the pain of getting laid off or let go. It hurts. It can wound. Each of us reacts in one of two ways, either by getting pissed off and hating the company we used to love, or by blaming ourselves... |

Letter to Self: Would I Hire Me If I Were You? by Debra Wheatman - Nov, 2009 As an HR professional I cannot tell you how many résumés I have received from candidates that were so unqualified, so out of reach, so uninteresting to me as a hiring manager as to make me look twice to see if I was putting them in the right pile for the right job. As a career strategist, I am surprised sometimes when a candidate says “I want to be an investment banker – of course not many of them say that anymore, but that is... |
