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:

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 [...]

I am frequently asked how to create a LinkedIn Profile if you don’t want your boss to know you are looking for another job.

About ten days ago my daughter fell on her face and smashed her front teeth in.
Shortly after we carried our pained four year old into the emergency room and got whisked into a private room right away, instead of spending hours in the E.R. waiting for our turn.
Over the last 10 days I’ve learned more than I’ve [...]

I wrote about my career predictions yesterday… here’s what it means for us, individually:

I’ve been thinking about a blog post from Penelope Trunk titled Being an expert takes time, not talent. On my mind was this part:
Figure skating is a good example. I figure skated for ten years. I was good, until I went through puberty and then was clearly the wrong body type to be doing double [...]
