For all you know, you could be one meeting away from the opportunity to take you many steps ahead in the career. But, that happens only if the person is 'always ready' and smiling and upbeat. No one wants half-heart smile in the office. <br />-Please write more, Sharon. <br />-UrviAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8258878743556190037.post-4704530575369687292010-05-11T09:58:21.083-07:002010-05-11T09:58:21.083-07:00No Experts Needed wrote:

My heart goes out to those still getting pinked. <br /><br />For me, losing my job was one of those defining moments in life. I knew I had a choice: I could choose to lose my way (my mind) or rise to the challenge and follow what my Spirit tells me to do, always remembering that I am more than a statistic on the news. <br /><br />I'll share with you what I was told the day I got "set free" (laid off) from my job: "This is a new chapter in your life. WRITE ONE HELL OF A CHAPTER!" And I did just that! Will you? <br />Yes, times are tough, but it doesn't mean that we can't still 'give back' to one another. This is simply my way... <br /><br />take care, <br /><br />Louise Lewis, author No Experts Needed! <br />-------------------------------------------<br /><br />Duncan Mathison (author of Unlock the Hidden Job Market) wrote: <br /><br />This is great and could not be truer! <br /><br />This market is so different than it was two years ago when a snappy resume, a couple of connections and dozens of postings on-line made unemployment short and sweet. But today... slogging through the rain in a muddy field is a perfect perspective. But having a game plan helps - and targeting the unpublished "hidden jobs" requires a new playbook.<br /><br />Sharon B Cohen in reply to Duncan Mathison <br /><br />Hello Duncan,<br /><br />You have understood my analogy perfectly! What is the "new" playbook for Job Search? <br />-------------------------------------<br />Duncan Mathison wrote in reply to Sharon B Cohen <br /><br />Sharon - <br />The new playbook is called "an end-run". To win in this market I think job seekers have to do an end run around the middle where people are being crushed chasing after jobs after they have been published or posted. This requires initative to meet and connect with employers who have the potential to hire your talents. This means networking skills have to be upgraded, avoid the networking mixers, and using new tools beyond a resume <br /><br />(I think resumes should be left home and a different type of document should be taken such as a "Targeted Opportunity Profile") and that meetings with potential employers and networking contacts need to be run more like a business meeting than a social encounter.
