Create a Network and Catapult Your Job Search


Networking is still known as a great job-search strategy, yet it eludes some individuals simply because they don?t know how to go about it. Individuals also tend to shy away from networking because it?s time consuming. Unlike online résumé submission or folding a résumé, stuffing it in an envelope, and adhering a stamp, networking requires far more time and dedication. The results, however, can be quite different than those experienced from traditional résumé submission.

Avoid a Three-ring Circus with These New Interviewing Strategies


I referenced the circus because I just finished another interviewing book that recommends asking for the job before leaving the interview. I can envision up to 15 qualified professionals each asking the interviewer for the job. If each asks for the job, doesn?t that make the question null and void ? cross out each other?s great gesture? If everyone jumps through the same hoop, performing like a good little circus monkey, what?s going to set you apart from other candidates?

Make The Right Career Move


It is not realistic for HR Managers to believe that there will not be any staff turnover in the organisation. Having regular staff turnover need not be a negative proposition as it may imply that the industry is very dynamic.

With new talents to improve the competitiveness of the organisation, it is dependent on each employee to take full control of his career progression.

Jobseekers! Look For Smoke, Not Fire


"If you always do what you've always done, you will always get what you've always received,? said some wise person. This is certainly true when it comes to job-hunting, especially during a "sucky" economy. How many times have you applied to a job on Monster.com? Now ask yourself, "How many other people have applied for the same position?" The numbers are discouraging I assure you. Should this keep you from applying to jobs online? By no means, job boards are a necessary part of the process. However, if you limit your jobsearch to seeking only those jobs that you are qualified for then you are making a mistake. Am I suggesting that you do a "shotgun" effect with your resume and apply to as many jobs as you can hoping that by some miraculous twist of fate you catch a recruiter's eye? No... and yes, in a way.

We are given a life map at the beginning of our lives, and there are things we are meant to learn, people we are meant to meet, work we are meant to perform. But many of us are not tuned into ourselves and the signs that are presented to us. We often miss important information, and miss out on those lessons, people, and jobs.

What is a Career Anyway?


A career is the sum total of all of your work-related contributions to society in a lifetime. This includes time and effort spent to provide goods, services, or benefit to others. A career includes paid, un-paid, volunteer, part-time, and full-time positions.
