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... |

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.

Debunking Networking Myths by Brad Karsh - Nov, 2009 Myth #1: Networking is simply getting a job because you know someone. The following is not a likely scenario: You: I know Darren – he’s a big shot at Accenture. He said you’d give me a job. Recruiting Director: Of course, I will. You’re hired. We’ll see you on Monday morning at 9:00. I’m assuming $200,000 will work for you as your new IT Specialist salary. Sadly, that’s not what networking is all about. ... |

Social Media Means You Can’t Hide by Joshua Waldman - Nov, 2009 One of the great powers of social media is that it is very very difficult to not be genuine. Even people who try to put on a face don’t last very long. The whole system is geared towards ruining liers. And that is a good thing.
