Be Constructive In Your Use of Layoff Time by Linda Dobogai - Nov, 2009 Depressive feelings associated with being dislocated can impact your energy level if you allow this to happen. Remember there is a moment where we can choose between lethargy and taking action. Perhaps you need some time to process the feelings. Find someone you trust to talk things over and then consciously commit to move on by drawing up a plan of action. No doubt that plan of action will focus on a “job hunt.” Notice the... |

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Your Job Search by Barbara Safani - Nov, 2009 LinkedIn and Twitter recently announced a partnership that will enable users to simultaneously update their status on both platforms. Doing so can help amplify your message to your followers and real-time search engines. LinkedIn and Twitter have billed the new interface as two great tastes that taste great together. And I think this move is a sweet deal for job seekers as well. By using both platforms on a regular basis, job ... |

You Lost Your Job! Now What? by Mary Sherwood Sevinsky - Nov, 2009 You lost your job (the reason doesn’t really matter so much at this point does it). What do you do? BREATHE.

When you unexpectedly lose your job it wreaks havoc with your emotions. Your self esteem suffers. Your relationships suffer. You feel miserable. Don’t do anything. No... |

What that in mind, here are two ways to find a job -- one high-tech and the other very low -- from Australia. How can you adapt them to your search? 1) Tweet and Meet Jade Craven, in Geelong,... |

Get Them to Buy Your Brand by Cathy Alfandre - Nov, 2009 When you’re in the supermarket, you buy the brands that you find valuable, right? In the labor market, employers buy the brands that they think will add value too. This is especially true when times are tough; hiring decisions are made so carefully. Do you know your personal brand? If not, now’s the time to figure it out and market it. The notion of a personal brand was first coined by Tom Peters in Fast Company magazine... |

Finding Opportunity In Difficult Times: How Do You Do That? by Marshall Brown - Nov, 2009 “Oh dear!” cried Chicken Little, “the sky is falling. I must go tell the king.” The expression “the sky is falling” has become synonymous with a person jumping to an irrational conclusion and working everyone they meet into a panic. It can be argued that this is happening with the current economic situation, the public is being whipped into mass hysteria. Whether you believe the economic “sky” is falling (or that i... |

New City & No Job? Five Steps to Finding Work by Mary Sherwood Sevinsky - Nov, 2009 I have had a couple of clients ask me how to network now that they have moved. Career change is hard enough, let alone finding new network contacts in an unfamiliar area. First, let me recommend that you have your career goal in mind and, preferably, at least partially achieved. It surprises me how many people move without having a job or even the prospect of a job – not the independently wealthy, mind you, just regularly folk... |

And I’ve been a job seeker myself. So I bring a diverse experience when assisting someone’s job hunt. I’m often told, “I’ll hold off on contracting with you because I want to have a recruiter place me for free.” The reality i... |

Stand Out In A Sea Of Sameness by Miriam Salpeter - Nov, 2009 There’s no shortage of information about how difficult the job market is right now. Over and over, job seekers look for ways to “stand out,” to be one in a crowd, to grab (and keep) the attention of the hiring manager. You might be surprised to know that it may not be as difficult as you think to stand out in a crowded market. Some ideas for your consideration: - Know what you have to offer.

Don’t Be a “People Person” In Your Job Search by Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter - Nov, 2009 I understand the impulse to flesh out one’s career value with sweeping generalities: • I’m a people person (or, I’m really good with people; or, I like people). • I’m very strategic. • I’m attentive to detail. • I’m very organized. • I’m results oriented. • I’m innovative. • I think outside the box. • I’m a change leader. • I’m a team leader. • I bring people together. I discourage this approach in favor of a mo... |
