Nobody likes to look
for a new job. There are some tips you can use to shorten the time and improve your
prospects.
Step 1: Update Your Resume.
It doesn't matter if you are applying
for a minimum wage position or a senior executive position. You'll need two formats and
possibly several versions: The formats you'll need are Text Only and Document.
Text Only is a non-formatted document that you can copy and paste into an
e-mail or online job board resume postings.
Document
is created in a
word processing
program like
Microsoft Word
or Word Perfect.
This is the
resume you hand
the interviewer,
drop off or
mail.

The week of
April 21, 2009
my job hunting
efforts of three
and a half
months finally
paid off as four
different
companies
contacted me and
interviewed me
for positions I
would thoroughly
enjoy. By April
24th, I was
already at the
5th interview
with one, second
with 2 and on
the first with
the fourth. By
April 30th I was
working as the
Director of
Marketing of
a High Tech
Company.
It took 3.5
months of trial
and error to get
this point.
The following
are the job
hunting
strategies I
used that made a
difference.

Do
you
need
a

letter?
What
is
one?
This
short
video
will
give
you
a
quick
overview
of
what
a
cover
letter
is
and
how
to
put
one
together.
Most of
us place
a high
level of
esteem
on our
job
title.
We
describe
ourselves
as
Lawyers,
Directors,
or
Nurses.
We
describe
others
by what
they do.
So what
happens
when
this
main
element
of your
identity
is
suddenly
gone?
There is
life
after
unemployment
and it's
usually
better
than
before
you lost
your
job!
Get
inspired.
Have you ever
wanted to
increase your
effectiveness in
communication?
That's a
rhetorical
question.
We all do.
How well we
communicate
determines the
quality of our
life.
Use this
knowledge
to
better
perform
on the
job,
with
others
or in
interviews.
How to turn doubts, fears and insecurities
into success
By Laura
Dawn
Lewis &
Thom
McFadden
You may
have
expected
to lose
your
job, or
it may
have
come
from out
of the
blue.
Regardless,
when it
comes,
it seems
you are
never
really
prepared
for it.
You’re
laid
off—now
what?
As the
anxiety
sets in,
you
begin to
take
stock of
your
situation.
Now what
do you
do?
QUIT
arguing
with
people
about
the same
old
stuff!
Respect
their
position;
keep it
moving.
QUIT
telling
people
your
secrets
when you
know
they are
not
going to
keep
them;
and, if
you keep
telling
them,
then
quit
getting
mad when
they
tell
share
your
secrets.

During
my
career,
I cannot
begin to
count
the
number
of times
I have
called
upon
someone,
for whom
I held
respect
and
admiration,
to ask
for
advice.
Yet I
don’t
remember
a single
incident
where I
was
rejected.
Sometimes
the
contact
has been
invaluable.
