Mark Grossnickle Case Study for Job Searching and Self Promotion: "Hire me, Headblade"

Many people are on their way to becoming professional job searchers. They have their application process down to a science. When a new job gets posted they proceed with their usual routine: 1. tidy resume/portfolio 2. customize cover letter template 3. cross their fingers and hope for the best Professional job searcher, in this context, becomes somewhat of an oxymoron. The better you get at your routine, the more times your routine has failed. Maybe it is time to break the mold? Take this job… Continue

Jeffrey L. Madden Quality Job Postings

Due to the recent extreme speculation in oil futures and Southern California property values that exploded into global economic meltdown, late last year I was invited by my employer to seek career opportunities elsewhere. They were not very specific where “elsewhere” might be, other than naming a few locations where it wasn’t (one of which being my current office). Since then, I have spent countless hours searching online for employment that would provide
  1. a sense of accomplishment

Patric Welch Get paid to search

have to admit it. I have no idea how the business model behind this new search engine works. I'm referring to the LeapFish search engine and it's claim that "it's ok, your're not cheating on Google." If you haven't heard of LeapFish it is basically a search engine that returns results from multiple search engine sites all on one page. So instead of doing a separate Google and Yahoo search, you can do both at once. Kind of reminds me of the Dogpile web site. With one major difference. You get… Continue

Ben McCann Helping People in Job Transition is Rewarding

I have been working on helping people in Job Transition for a few years now ( on the side ) for FREE. Since I have always been a good networker, lots of people have sent me their resumes to "keep my eyes open" and other companies and clients send me job postings because I have a "good eye" for talent. By December 2008 I had more of these emails then I could handle, but I still wanted to help as many people as possible. After being a part of SI almost since the beginning, I decided to do somethi… Continue

Caleb Decker Swine Flu + Search = Better Intelligence?

I spend most of my time working with payor and provider organizations and helping them develop better intelligence ("business intelligence") about their people, processes, financials, and anything else we can measure. We measure clinical outcomes (mortality), infection rates (think MRSA), and how much these events cost, and where an organization ranks compared to their peer group. The process can be complex, and the data is sometimes painfully difficult to gather, secure, and make useful. But I… Continue

Bill Meyers Don't Just Find a Job... Find the Right Job

This post is all about the art of connecting job and career seekers with great opportunities, and with helping businesses and organizations to find, hire, manage and retain them. I imagine that, initially, at least, much or most of our discussions will focus on helping career seekers to market themselves to the business community. So, let's start there... My thought at the outset is that any time of career or job change is a perfect and appropriate time for an update and re-assessment of a per… Continue

Top 10 Reasons Why Your Website Should Be Your Top Business Priority in 2009 When is the last time you picked up a “yellow book?” If you are under the age of 21 you may not even know what a yellow book is, in fact, my twelve year old looked at me very weird the other day when I asked him to go into my office and get me the “yellow pages.” Read the entire post… Continue

Greg Cross SEO Tips From The Experts

Whether your Web site is brand new or ten years old, managing how it appears to search engines is crucial to its success. The typical Web site gets 61 percent of its traffic from organic (nonpaid) search engine results, and 41 percent of all traffic from Google alone. Ensuring that the company’s site ranks highly in search results is, for most businesses, a make-or-break proposition, which is why search engine optimization (SEO) is now a multibillion-dollar industry.

Greg Cross Reason #9 - Top 10 Reasons Why Your Website Should Be Your Top Business Priority in 2009

REASON #9 - IT TAKES TIME TO CREATE DOMAIN NAME BUZZ FOR YOUR SITE So many people think if they launch a new website on a Monday that they should show up on a Google search for that new website on a Tuesday. Let me just bust this myth by saying – it does not happen that way. Imagine sending out an invitation to some friends inviting them to come to your home for dinner. The purpose for inviting them was to see your new house you just finished building. The invitations go out, but there… Continue

Aaron Douglas How To Ruin Your Reputation Without Even Trying

A commonly heard phrase among professionals in

web design

and internet marketing is “Google knows everything". For those of us who make a living tickling search engines, this means that whatever approach you are taking to create unfair advantage in the index, assume Google knows what you're doing and how it's being done. For those of us that use best pract… Continue

Ken Moore Should a Job Resume Start With an Objective?

One of the quickest ways for a résumé to find its way to the round file, or the no thanks stack, is to start it out with the ho-hum, everybody does it, old school approach of The Objective. The Objective – the phrase sounds like it should be the name or the title of some drama based TV show or motion picture. When it comes to a job résumé, everybody knows what the objective is – and that is to get a job – wrong (tricked ya), it is to get an interview. Don’t bring drama into your résumé with The… Continue

Ken Moore Looking Back on Losing a Job?

Some people are ready for a disaster from Mother Nature. There are survival kits and first aid kits nearby with flashlights, water, a radio, and maybe some personal items you want to make sure are safe. People who do not prepare for these things quickly realize the downfalls of not being prepared. So, why aren’t more people proactive toward the possibility of unexpected job loss? It is emotional when a job gets eliminated or the company you work for goes under. It can take several days to snap… Continue

Ken Moore If Job Search Hurts, at Least do Something Different

I don’t know about you, but my parents always told me that if it hurts, then don’t do it. They saved many trips to the doctor’s office, and quite a bit of money, with this simple little saying or proverb. And, they were right! When I quit doing something that hurt, the pain went away. Of course, I was a kid back then and I didn’t have all the years of experience and wisdom that my parents did (not that I claim to have a bunch of wisdom now ). What’s my point? Flash forward to adult life. Are y… Continue

Ken Moore Need Help Deciding What Career to Choose?

I need help deciding what career to choose – this is a frequent comment or concern from people of all ages. It comes from those who are in mid-life looking for a change, people who have found their jobs eliminated for whatever reason, and also from high school and college students trying to figure it out before they spend too much time and money going a direction that might not be the best. This can be a confusing, frustrating, and intimidating thing to work through. So, many people turn to car… Continue

Do you know the most common job search roadblocks? Just like planning a car trip, it’s best to know where the obstacles and detours are.

Let’s take a look at the Top 3 job search mistakes most people make. First, do you know the centerpiece of the job search?

Ken Moore Job Search - What Does Unemployment Really Cost?

$19K is what a job search could possibly cost an unemployed person looking to make a $50K salary…… $77K is what it could possibly cost an unemployed person looking to make a $100K salary. WHAT? Didn’t expect that? Let’s explain. First, this is obviously not an out-of-pocket cost, but it is wages / money you can not get back! The general rule of thumb for finding and starting a new job is this – it will take 1 month for every $10K in salary (5 months for $50K job, 10 months for $100K job, etc).… Continue
