Carol Ray commented on amyeandrews's blog post 'Scary Job Hunting'

Oh, Please! Tell me something I DON'T know, OK?!!! I've been in Tampa for a year now, after working for two top corporate lawyers in SoCal for 12 years, and the best I could find was the most loathsome job I've ever had at a foreclosure mill in Ta...

Scary Job Hunting

Scary costumes and movies may frightened 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. If you’re new to the job market or out of practice, ...

amyeandrews commented on Chris Russell's blog post 'Job reference etiquette'

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.

Don't Do What Chicago Did

Chicago may have lost the pot of Olympic Gold in 2016, but for job seekers this is a great reminder on “What not to do in a job search.” Don’t plead for a job, but demonstrate what you can do to benefit them. Sorry Chicago, that’s what went wrong....

Erin Kennedy, CPRW, CERW commented on amyeandrews's blog post 'The Dreaded: “Tell Me About Yourself”'

Great advice, Amy. It is a dreaded question, and as Barry said also 'worthless, inane, canned, stupid, silly interview questions'. You'd think the interviewer could come up with something more original? Being prepared is key. Having well-thought ...

Barry Deutsch commented on amyeandrews's blog post 'The Dreaded: “Tell Me About Yourself”'

This is one of the traditional 20 questions over 90% of all hiring managers ask, which also includes Why should we hire you, do you like teams, what is your strengths and weakness and so on. These are worthless, inane, canned, stupid, silly interv...

Amy, A well compiled article that job seekers and career professionals will devour. May I add a Canadian twist for those of us north of the border: Newspapers that use Twitter: The Toronto Star, The Montreal Gazette, The Kingston-Whig Standard Ju...

Scary Job Hunting

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. If you’re new to the job market or out of practice, navigating today’s complex market can be a scary endeavor. 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. Though many workers can lean on their spouse for coverage during times of unemployment, those of us who choose the benefits of singledom over a back-up medical plan, can be left taking whatever job necessary to ensure coverage. This approach; however, may… Continue

The Dreaded: “Tell Me About Yourself”

You got the interview. Now: the preparation. You scour the website for information on leader bios, values, mission, client reviews, stock performance, and anything possible you might need to demonstrate you’re invested in them before they invest in you. But are you prepared to answer the one question that doesn’t involve a web search? The one question which can distinguish you from every other candidate in the pack? The question: “Tell me about yourself.”

Personally, I’m not a fan of this quest… Continue
