7 Key Ways to Use Social Media in Your Job Search by Jean Cummings - Mar, 2013 One of the biggest concerns my executive clients have is how to use social media in their job search. They know that it's the new kid on the job search block, but they themselves have rarely gone beyond a bare bones LinkedIn profile (LIP). Facebook evokes shudders of horror, and Twitter is deemed trivial. Some rethinking might be in order. Life calls on us to go out of our comfort zone on occasion - and this may be one of t... |

How to get the job: make a good first impression by Miriam Salpeter - Feb, 2013 People have short attention spans today, and recruiters and hiring managers are no different from the rest of the population. When it comes to impressing someone who may give you a job, you have less time than ever to make a good impression.

There’s a group ahead of you, a group that’s gone the extra step in their search. Who am I talking about?

Why You Should Always Know Your Worth by Rich Jones - Feb, 2013 I got a few questions last week on Twitter from folks that did something during an interview that many of us have done before: Blurted out a salary range when asked, did research after the interview, then realize the range they blurted out was way lower than the industry standard.

Hone In on Special Skills to Find a Job by Miriam Salpeter - Feb, 2013 Identifying what employers want and making the case to show why you're a fit is one of the most challenging things for job seekers. If you haven't looked for a job in a while, it may seem like what employers want changed a lot since the last time you looked for work.

Need to Reinvent Your Career? by Georgia Adamson - Feb, 2013 If not now, you might still at some point in your working life either need or want to reinvent your career. When/if that happens to you, do you have a plan for accomplishing it? Much like fire or flood insurance you hope you will never need, a career management plan that takes the need for reinventing your career into account makes excellent sense. I did that myself a number of years ago and was lucky (?) enough to sta... |
