However, if you are motivated to find your next job and willing to take initiative, this information may be the most important you can get your hands on right now.
The Census Bureau says 16 Americans for every job, but if you are an experienced, educated professional, I think that number is more like 300 for every job. And have you noticed that people getting the jobs you want are not necessary any smarter or better than you?
How do they do it? They get jobs because of WHO they know. It's not their resume, years of experience or anything else. People win at the career-game because they work smart and run their job search like they were running a business.
They do marketing, have a tag line that get's remembered, they form strategic alliances and they take advantage of Social Media channels to grow a strong network of referrals.
When I was laid off for my first time in 2008, I had an MBA, no contacts and a family to feed. It was a very terrifying time, and I was pissed off that I had spent all this money for an education and got nothing from it. Well, that wasn't totally true. I got motivated, and started to investigate what makes a successful job search.Grab A Copy Click here
I began to use the skills I had learned from the MBA program, from working in corporations and from executive career coaches. It was hard, but the interviews were starting to come, mostly from referrals. I searched until I found a offer I liked and accepted it.
That was until I got laid off again, this time in 2009. It seemed hopeless, but with plenty of job seeking skills, I began expanding my knowledge and skills. I literally paid thousands of dollars of my severance package to master Internet Marketing, Social Media and Branding.
With these new skills, something amazing happened. I got offer after offer. Some offers included a starting six-figure salary. Others offered to pay my moving expenses to come work at their location.
I'm here to tell you that blaming the economy, corporate greed or anything else for your job-seeking woes is the wrong path. A good surfer knows he/she can't change the tide, so they develop skills to learn how to handle any type of wave break.
Social Media combined with a business mentality is the key to standing out from the crowd of other job-seekers. And The Job Seeker's Guide to Social Media course I've developed is the best way to get this knowledge quickly and without spending a fortune.
