Are All Your Job Search Eggs in One Basket? by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Nov, 2009 I knew a guy once that would apply to about 100 jobs and get two call backs. First off, those aren't great odds and pretty much tell me something isn't right here. But, secondly - what was even worse was that after he received the call backs he promptly ended his job search.

Why Your E-mail Address Could Be Keeping You From Your Dream Job by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Nov, 2009 As a hiring manager I have seen it all and by all I mean some pretty 'creative' e-mail addresses on resumes.

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.

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.
