You have to feel for IT job seekers. It is tough for them to find solid IT-focused resume writers. It is tough for them to find recruiters who truly understand the nuances of their field. And it is tough for them to get around HR personnel who also don’t necessarily know more than to look for a bunch of buzzwords.

The same frustrations can really be said for engineers and others in highly technical fields.

I have had the pleasure of working with these types of job seekers, particularly…

1.  Take advantage of this career transition, and take the time to get to know who you are and what you want.

2.  Do a personal and skill assessment.  Understand the skills you bring to the marketplace.   What are the job options that would match your skill sets.  If you are unable to do this yourself, seek professional help; this is no time to go it alone.

3.  Develop a strong mission statement of what you want, where you want to go, and what you want to contribute to the…

As part of your executive job search your work history and educational credentials can be verified. However, it’s your unwritten level of maturity that can make all the difference to an employer. . . and to the ultimate success of your executive job search.

Savvy employers are sizing you up from the moment they lay eyes on you. They instinctively know that what they DON’T know about you will be more persuasive in the final analysis.

So they will be carefully checking you out. They may not ask direct…

What’s the most important piece of paper in your job search? If you said it’s your resume or your cover letter, you’d be wrong. It’s your job application.

Over 90% of companies run some type of background check on job applicants today. To get the detailed information that is required to run a thorough check, most companies require applicants to fill out a specially-designed application form.

Over 80% of companies say that discrepancies on a job application can take a candidate out of the running, yet half of the…

Engineering graduates and those engineering professionals looking to advance in their field need to seriously consider the way they approach the job hunt before filling out applications.

Searching for a job can be challenging, even in the best of times.

Obviously, this isn’t the best of times – meaning if you’re unemployed and looking for work, the process may be dragging on. After months of searching without securing an offer, a sense of pessimism can creep into your thinking. You can start to lose confidence.

This is perfectly understandable. Still, you’ve got to make a conscious effort to maintain a positive attitude. If you don’t, you run the risk of catapulting your job search into the…

During the 1980s and early 1990s, an increasing spotlight was turned on executive and professional layoffs due to corporate restructuring and downsizing. This video traces the job search of a laid-off executive. Two economic concepts are illustrated. Economists refer to a “reservation wage,” the minimum amount a job seeker will accept.
