Guest Author: CareerAlley It is a difficult job market, but your recruiter (headhunter, employment agency – call them what you will but be nice) is there to help. They are overwhelmed with resumes and underwhelmed with job opportunities at the moment. While you want to stay fresh in your recruiter’s mind, you don’t want to stalk them or waste their time by applying for jobs where you don’t qualify. So what’s the best approach? Guest Author: Kevin Donlin Last time, I wrote about the three habits of highly successful job seekers that I have observed after counseling thousands of people since 1996. To recap, they are: 1) Begin with clarity; Guest Author: CareerAlley Companies are leveraging their company career sites on a more consistent basis than they have in the past. This trend has picked up pace in the last few months as the sagging economy has forced companies to look for ways to save money. The other benefit for companies is that it gives them greater control over their initial screening process (rather than depending on Job Boards and Recruiters). This trend is likely to increase as the practice becomes a part of “standard operating procedures”. Guest Author: Kevin Donlin Precession, as defined by the American polymath Buckminster Fuller, is the effect that bodies in motion have on other bodies in motion. To illustrate, think of a honey bee (and, yes, this will help your job search!) A bee moves from flower to flower in search of pollen. While in motion, a bee produces a “precessionary” effect: it fertilizes those flowers, allowing them to develop seeds and fruit. Now. Ever had a job interview with a company you didn’t plan on working for or had never heard of before? |
