One of my friends was full of advice; giving me ideas on what I should do next and what I had already done that I shouldn’t have. The other friend just listened. Unconditionally. And although she didn’t say as much as the first friend, she was reall...
 
  When Entrepreneurs Become Job Seekers
by Marcia Robinson - Aug, 2009
We all know that the job market is really tough! As if the competition from new college grads and the recently terminated isn't enough, here comes the competition from another, not so often talked about pool of job seekers - entrepreneurs.

by Alexandra Levit - Aug, 2009

In my days at Edelman, we used to call these people members of the “Comeback Club" or "Boomerangers." Here’s what Amy has to say: Organizations thrive on change. Just because you lost your job doesn’t always mean that other opportunities won’t crop up in the future. The old...

by Joe Turner - Aug, 2009
The odds are good that during this economic recession, increasing numbers of experienced executives will find themselves transitioning from a large corporation to a small firm. If you’re accustomed to working for a big box, you might find it uncomfortable to consider a small shop. But if your job has been downsized or outsourced, motivation to secure another job can outweigh hesitation about working in a much smaller company. ...
 
  Executive Job Search Strategy: Step 1 - Have A Clear Job Target
by Abby Locke - Aug, 2009
Whether you are voluntarily looking for a new job or find yourself an unfortunate victim of today's economic decline, you will be unsuccessful, frustrated and discouraged unless you have a clear, concise job target.

by Abby Locke - Aug, 2009
It never fails to amaze me when I talk to highly qualified executives - who have reached out to me for assistance after getting dismal results in their job search - and find out that their main job search tactic is spending hours on the Internet visiting job boards and posting resumes. You never put all your eggs in one basket when it comes to the executive job search. Technology will continue to impact your personal and pr...
 
  Executive Job Search Strategy: Step 3 - Identify Your Target Companies
by Abby Locke - Aug, 2009
A step that is often overlooked in the executive job search process is developing a list of target companies. Many executive candidates will have a job search strategy that is dependent on the available positions listed on various career and recruiter-based websites. The flaw with that passive strategy is that you are forced to compete with thousands and thousands of other candidates through an online application system wit...

The thousands of job openings that you can easily find online through job boards, recruiter listings and company websites attract thousands of applicants. So when you send in your resume, what are the chances that you will get an interview? Only about 2-3%. Your job search efforts at this point should be focused on researching job "opportunities" - in other words, potential job openings that have not been advertised to the ...
