Three Tips To Making a Career Change In a Tough Time by Miriam Salpeter - Nov, 2009 I hear from so many people who are in the midst of trying to make a career change. Sometimes, the change is very slight – a writer who wants to use her expertise to write about a different subject. Other times, there is a more drastic goal – a mortgage broker who wants to use transferable skills to get into the insurance business. No matter what the goal, this is a tough time to bridge to a career change. (I’ve written abou... |

“I Can Do That!” by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 There’s an old ‘Seinfeld’ episode where George quit his job in Real Estate and is trying to decide what career he would like to go into next. He and Jerry are sitting around a coffee table while George throws out ideas of what he thinks he could do. They discuss his desires to be a Professor, an Architect, a Major League Baseball Manager, and several other things. He thinks he has applicable skills for any one of them. The onl... |

A Job Hunt is Sales! Yikes! by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 Not only is looking for a job, a full time job in itself...it’s a SALES position! Now, if your profession is in Sales anyway, this is not earth shattering news to you and you’re likely to be approaching it that way. If, however, you’re not a Sales person, this may be very bad news to you...you may be saying: I’m not a Sales Person type I don’t like Sales I’m not pushy enough I’m not aggressive enough I’m too hones... |

Are You Ready? by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 You just got laid off from your job (Ouch!), and getting ready to begin a new job search. Are you ready? What should you do first, and what tools will you need? Most people jump in, sending out resumes or contacting people unprepared. Usually they are ineffective, and sometime set themselves up to do real damage. Get yourself organized and make a plan before you begin and your efforts will be much more fruitful. Here ar... |

Being ‘Pleasantly Persistent’! by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 “I sent in a resume...” or “I had an interview...over a week ago and haven’t heard anything. Should I call to follow-up?” or “How much is too much when calling or emailing to follow-up?” I get asked this question in one form or another regularly, and my standard answer is: “It pays to be ‘Pleasantly Persistent’!” What’s that? It’s connecting multiple times in a way that draws them to you rather than giving them the urge... |

Do Thank You Notes Really Matter? by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 YES! EVERYBODY sends a Thank You note after an interview...Right? Wrong! Having been in the Employment Placement industry for 23 years, I’ve found that only around 10% to 20% of candidates actually send a Thank You note after an interview. And of those, fewer still send one after each interview at a company. Even though I coach all my candidates to send one after interviews I set up for them, only around half actually do... |

Do You Really Have To Network For Your Job Search? by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 I was asked to speak at a Job Networking session to a group of Information Technology (IT) Professionals. I was asked to talk about an effective ‘Elevator Speech’ or any other aspect of Networking that I’d like. For the past 23 years I’ve been a Recruiter specializing in placing IT Professionals, and one thing I know, is that with few exceptions, most IT pro’s hate the thought of ‘Networking’! It’s a different story if we’re... |

Eight Self-Imposed Reasons People Can’t Find Jobs by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 It’s a tough job market...no question about it! People that previously seemed to be able to jump into a new job fairly quickly after a lay off, are having much longer stretches of unemployment these days. I had a person in one of my job search classes recently who was downright angry that his previous job search method wasn’t working. The last two times he had to look for a new job (both during booming economies) all he ha... |

Finding a Job Without a Harvard MBA by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 Too many people treat their job search as if they had an MBA from Harvard. They send their resume or apply online for an appropriate job opening and wait for the phone to ring. Unfortunately, most of us don’t have that highly valued sheepskin, or some other ‘bell ringer’ that will jump off the pages of our resume to reliably cause recruiters or hiring managers to call. So the rest of us have to be more proactive in our sear... |
