How to Get a New Job Using Social Media by Debra Wheatman - Jun, 2011 Did you know that 85% of available jobs are never advertised? Yes, it’s true. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 15% of today’s career opportunities ever make it to the job boards. And – when they do get advertised, the competition is fierce. So why do so many job seekers spend so much time searching job boards for work? My guess is that it is the path of least resistance. It is easier to sit back and wai... |

My Physical Response to Job Loss by Norine Dagliano - Jun, 2011 Loosing a job is quite an emotional experience – looking for your next opportunity leans more toward the cerebral. Until you can come to terms with the first, it is difficult to tackle the later. I recall my last job loss more than 10 years ago as if it were yesterday. I have always had the reputation of being the logical, analytical one who doesn’t get sidetracked by the emotional aspects of life. There is some truth in th... |

Dan Schawbel called for this being one more nail in the resume’s coffin and asserted job boards are on their way out as a result. There’s lots of push back from the recruiting community ... |

Is it Ageism or Your Attitude? by Sherri Edwards - Jun, 2011 Is it Ageism or Your Attitude? There is an ongoing debate about age discrimination in the work place that has been around for a very long time. Since we will continue to have younger workers enter the workplace, it is likely a case will continue to be made either way. My position is it doesn’t do anyone much good to simply buy into it and give up on their pursuits without, examining the situation more carefully. It is he... |

Missed Opportunities by Sherri Edwards - Jun, 2011 The thing about a missed opportunity is that you typically only figure out that it was missed in hindsight, and many times, there is no going back. The following are a few examples of what can happen from a job seeker’s perspective and from a sales perspective when assumptions are made and not investigated.

Most of my clients recognize LinkedIn as their chief online professional networking resource. It also lists a number of jobs.

Succeeding in a “Final Jeopardy!” World by Walter Akana - Jun, 2011 Yes, I’ll admit it. Upon seeing this month’s topic, my first association was Jeopardy! Perhaps it was the listing of categories in search of answers, but in a flash, I was thinking, “l’ll take re-tooling for 100, Alex.” And in my rapid free association, the answer “commodities” came to mind, quickly followed by, “What do you call transferable skills?” As a career coach, I’ve long believed that one’s ability to identify tra... |
