Tuesdays Are Terrific! The Best Day And Time To Contact HR by Cathy Eng - Nov, 2010 Many job seekers focus solely on the “how” of contacting potential employers, but the “when” can be crucial to getting noticed as well. Contacting them when they are more likely to be alert and responsive (and not tired, hungry, or stressed) is all about timing. That includes planning the optimal time and day to contact HR (to either initiate contact, follow up after sending a resume, or follow up post-interview). Accord... |

10% Unemployment – Now What? by Joe Turner - Nov, 2010 Well, it finally arrived.

4 Resolutions to Rock Your Job Search in 2010 by Joe Turner - Nov, 2010 OK, did you survive the past year? We all know 2009 was a devastating year economically for the US. The good news is that 2010 may see recovery in some sectors. The bad news is that the high unemployment rate will continue to be with us for quite some time. While there may continue to be fewer job openings, companies still do business and they still need talented employees to help them better compete during the coming ye... |

Can Gen-X Career Discontent Work for YOU as a Job Seeker? by Joe Turner - Nov, 2010 I recently interviewed Career Coach Randy Block about the generation gap between Baby Boomers and Gen-X hiring managers. Turns out the generation gap works in both directions per a recent AP article from Martha Irvine. She noted that the Gen-Xers are feeling squeezed between the Boomers who won’t go away and the up and coming Gen-Yers. According to Robin Erickson, manager at Deloitte Consulting, once this recession eases o... |

Have You Considered Working a Temp Job? by Joe Turner - Nov, 2010 If you’ve thought before about working a temp job, here’s some further ammo for considering it. Today the US unemployment rate rose to 9.8%, the highest this country has experienced since June 1983. That’s 15.1 million Americans now out of work. According to the US Labor Department, another 263,000 jobs were lost last month, higher than expected. Additionally, if those who were already laid off and have had to settle fo... |

The New Norm – High Jobless Rates by Joe Turner - Nov, 2010 Yesterday’s AP article from Tom Raum only highlights more reasons why the current high jobless rates might well be the norm for the next several years. Many economists believe the recession has technically ended and the nation’s GDP may show a modest uptick in the next few years. Yet almost everyone acknowledges that the unemployment rate, already at 9.8%, may actually top 10% by year’s end. Don’t look for help from the us... |

Being “Assertive” in Job Interviews by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2010 I received a note from someone that said: “I was told I was not assertive enough in an interview I just had. How do you do that?” Good question, and one that I think affects a number of job seekers. How do you express assertiveness without being over-bearing or offensive? And what does being “assertive” really mean? One nice result of this encounter, is that the employer gave an honest critique that most people are n... |

Those techniques are for different kinds of jobs.” Is that true? Are there different “rules” for ‘Blue-Collar’ vs. ‘White-Collar’ jobs? Well… Yes… and No! Here are some things to consider… Online tools. While LinkedIn and other online resources are “must-haves” for an effective white-collar job search... |

What’s an Employer Really Looking For in Your Resume? by Teena Rose - Nov, 2010 Most job-seekers write their resumes with one thing in mind—themselves! They toot their own horn so loud the interviewer is blown away by the sound. The “I did this” and “I achieved that” approach is important, of course. The hiring manager wants to know what you’ve accomplished in your previous line of work and how you can benefit his or her company in the new position. Reading Between the Lines BUT—he or she is also lo... |
