Great Job Seeking Book

Recently a friend gave me a book called "101+ Secrets to finding and securing jobs". it is an intersting read and since I have been having difficulty trying to find a new job since I lost my 5 month ago, I though why not and tried the techniques suggested in the book. The techniques really works and my resume response rate improved allot. Know I have two job interviews lined up for this coming week.

I see we have another victim

Great Article. If you want to be the best and a leader you have to be willing to do things losers and failures will not do.

if you believe you cannot do something your right and if you believe you can your right. What you believe you make true so if it will not work, it absolutely will not work for you and if its possible and you know that then you will eventually find away.. http://www.powercareernow.com/

discipline

I'm sure that if you do not have any discipline, your chances to find something decent are really low and your attempts will hardly be rewarded. Besides, if yiu are not systematic in your job search, it will be obvious, for example, in your profile on some network or even in your resume. So, you'd better think twice about your responsibilities and results.

Great New Free Tool For Job Seekers

Great, helpful article.

These days, job seekers need all the help they can get to rise above the crowd and get noticed first by prospective employers.

Toward this end, I thought I’d share with you a new, free tool I’ve created and launched to help job seekers: www.preverify.com

PreVerify is a free tool with which job seekers can conduct their own accurate and professional employment verifications. Following the quick and simple registration process, simply send your PreVerify request to your former and current employers to complete online at a time that is convenient for them to do so. No more interruptive phone calls, just an employment verification that can be used over and over again, forever.

Rather than crowd this email with a bunch of words, attached are two recent articles that talk about PreVerify:

Job Search

It takes time even if you do all these things for a few years maybe you will get a really god job and a big salary and connections maybe. Good hunting!

Ahhh, rational thought for once

People don't think about a job-search as a process that can be mapped, measured, and managed. For most, the job-search is a loose connection of tasks that are, for the most part, basically worthless.

Here is the basic job-search template:

1) Spin a resume, and re-write, x100, then hire someone for $800 but that doesn't get you the job, so you are thinking about the $1,500 resume re-write.

2) Post and respond to openings on job boards, as previously pointed out - 6-10% effectiveness (but likely less than that now) AKA spend eighteen TIMES more time than you should on job-boards.

3) Waste time with social media. Self-explanatory

4) Network because people tell you 'networking is important' but it makes you uncomfortable and you aren't really sure what to do even though you read every internet blog.

Now what we really need is a way of program-managing your job-search in a way that leads people to plan, set goals, measure progress .... oh wait, I built that - www.virtualjobcoach.com

Job Search Nemesis

Great article. Many job seekers approach their job search as a reaction vs. a plan of action. Relying on job boards as the foundation for your job search is a rough road. Only about 6% of open jobs are filled through job boards. Conversely, about 66% of open jobs are filled through networking and referrals. But, by far, the key to job search success is your emotional foundation. If you can put out good consistent energy you will yield good energy coming back, resulting in job search wins. Yes, I agree that having a coach/manager in your job search can help you manage your emotions. They may also be able to identify and help you seize opportunities and add weight to your job search bar until you finally push yourself over the edge into a great new gig.
