Change your job search strategy -

Change your job search strategy - Youre looking for a job? When is the last time you tried a new strategy? A change of direction? This week, I will be sharing ideas to help you change up your job hunting efforts. Intellectually, we all know that doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting a different result does not make sense. If you always got lost on the way to someplace, would you continue to try to get there without a map or directions? If you always burned dinner because you didnt set a timer and are always busy doing a million other things, would you continue to cook without a timer? I hope not! By the same token, continuing to sit at your desk, applying for jobs online with the exact same resume and wondering why you arent landing more interviews (or ANY interviews) doesnt phase you? Its a tough market! You have too much (or not enough) experience. Your background isnt exactly perfect for your target jobs and no one will give you a chance. I have heard all of the excuses. Well, its time for some tough love: It is very possible that what you are doing (and NOT doing) is the reason you arent finding more opportunities. Todays tip: instead of looking for a job, search for an organization! Read more at my blog on GreatPlaceJobs If you need help with your search, contact me! photo by Fifi LePew
