Talking About Nothing is Part of a Job Search Campaign by Barbara Safani - Sep, 2009 I know I’ve ranted about this before but I’m continuously amused by all the articles popping up about how social media is destroying real relationships. In my opinion, nothing could be further from the truth. The biggest pet peeve is that social media sites like Facebook and Twitter are flooded with people talking about nothing...as if before social media, people who spoke always had something profound to say. People will a... |

Job Seekers - What Could You Live Without? by Barbara Safani - Sep, 2009 My teenage son has been allergic to milk products his entire life. His reaction is pretty intense...immediate vomiting, drop in blood pressure, turning white as a ghost...all from a thimble-full of milk or a bite of cheese. He is part of an allergy research study group and every year he spends a day in the hospital ingesting tiny amounts of milk and being observed, poked, and prodded for hours. And every year after a very over... |

Pink Slip: I Never Saw It Coming by Mary Sherwood Sevinsky - Sep, 2009 Today a long time friend was laid off “unexpectedly” – she was given no notice and turned in her company computer and phone on the spot. Nothing against her employer (business is business), but she was left ill-prepared, to say the least. “I have a few cards,” she told me in a flat monotone. “I am eerily calm.” Of course, I offered my commiseration and any help in the way of a resume and contacts.

You Gotta Problem? by Rob Taub - Sep, 2009 From blatant...“greatest weakness”; “weakest attribute”; “most significant failure”...to soft...“what might your previous employer say...?”...even softer...“you certainly seem to have a lot of strengths, but we understand no one is perfect...” The question will come one way or another, everyone knows it, yet still befuddled by it.

It's Business As Usual by Rob Taub - Sep, 2009 Many people mistakenly assume if a company is not actively looking for someone then a job isn't available. The experience of many job-hunters tell me otherwise. What do these successful job-hunters have in common? For one, they have identified their key strengths, related achievements, talent and competences and where and how to apply them. Too, they have learned to engage in conversation that start others thinking about why t... |

Single-Most Important Letter You May Ever Use in a Job Search by Rob Taub - Sep, 2009 Clearly, there are many more rejections in a professional job search than there are offers. And there should be.
