I’m going to keep this post really short because you need to spend time reading a long post from Chris Brabic titled What I learned in Vegas: #HRTechConf Wrap-Up
This is from the HR Technology Conference, so it’s not totally about job search, but there was a lot of talent management talk, for sure.
Chris talks about [...]

Alison Doyle wrote a great post on the Job Search . About site about a topic that everyone talks about… but the flip side of the coin.
Networking is supposedly how you are going to land your next gig.
What if it just doesn’t work for you??
Read her post here.
Her points include:
Walk in (to companies).
Have someone call [...]

In my last Career Resumes post I talked about your job search competition: other job seekers. Last month on my JibberJobber blog I wrote about “that guy,” the guy who is there and needy when he is in transition, but he disappears after he lands a job.
In the comments, Marc Miller kind of defends them:
What [...]

A friend told me his company needed to hire someone with my skills. This was a good friend who cared about my employment, and was willing to help where he could.
His brother was the hiring manager, and I knew I had the “in” I needed.
During the interview I could tell the job was mine…. if [...]

I’m getting ready to learn from “Growing Your Business” mentor Mark LeBlanc, in Salt Lake City.
One of Mark’s messages has had a significant impact on how I run my business. It is deceptively simple, yet is really, really powerful.
In a business, he says, we need to identify three “high value activities.” Those are activities that [...]

Another thought-provoking post on Recruiting Blogs, this one by Francois Guay titled Top 10 Reasons Why HR Hates Recruiters and Vice Versa. According to his LinkedIn Profile, Francois is in Canada, and has experience as an HR exec and a recruiter. His blog is Attack Defend Disrupt.
And here I thought it was just job seekers [...]

I remember the first time I “tried” to go to a networking meeting for people in transition.
Somehow, I didn’t make it there, and went home. At least I “tried.”
The second time I did the same… I “tried,” then went home.
I was embarrassed and nervous, and I really didn’t think I’d get any value out of [...]

When I was deep into my job search my day looked something like this:
Wake up around 4:30. I’m not a morning person at all, but by 4:30 the anxiety had me fully awake, and I couldn’t lie in bed anymore.
Jump online to see what was new on Monster and other boards. Usually nothing.
Eat something between [...]

Here’s a post I didn’t think I’d read… from Recruiting Blogs, Jeffrey Moore writes Should you apply for a job online?
His conclusion is summed up in this line:
“Short answer? Yes. Long answer? Hell yes.”
Very interesting.
Most job search coaches tell their clients to not spend time, or to really limit their time, to online job boards, [...]

It is becoming more common for a company to ask you to do a Skype, or video, interview, instead of fly you out to their corporate offices. This has been happening in universities a lot, and a friend of mine owns Hireview, a company that helps hiring managers and HR control interview costs with video [...]
