LOVED THIS!! Anyone that shows creativity and makes them stand out from the crowd gets my eye and in my opinion at least deserves an interview. On the flip side, I'd like to hear from employers on if they appreciate this type of effort or are they...

I totally agree...it seems that recruiters are the biggest offenders of this. They want to connect to you so they can get an in w/ your contacts, but yet they rarely, if at all return the favor. Personally, I've found Twitter to be much more helpf...

Good suggestions. I also send Christmas cards or a note during the holidays to just keep the connection strong. This gives me a reason to touchbase w/out having to ask them for something.

Unemployment Blessings

Outside the traditional, family, friends and health of Thanksgiving blessings, it can be easy to overlook career blessings when we’re out of work. But lest we forget, unemployment has its own blessings.

1) Time – Working a 40 hour week, commuting to and fro can leave us strapped for time to do those things that fuel our soul. This may be volunteering for a cause near to your heart or finally getting around to organizing your family photo albums. Whatever your passion, unemployment gives… Continue

Scary costumes and movies may frighten your little tykes at home, but for job hunting adults, the search for a new employer can be scarier than a Michael Myer, Halloween, marathon movie night.

Like a horror movie, there are parts that make us jump out of our seat, cover our eyes and in some cases even laugh. The job search is no different. Networking, interviewing, writing a resume or n… Continue

COBRA Clock Ticking?

Recently, a friend of mine came to the end of her 18-month COBRA benefits: A significant event that forced her to come face to face with the fact that she had still not landed a permanent gig that offered these precious, necessary commodities.
