NO Half measures for the Fully Employable..

Perhaps you have been trying so hard..  You are part of a recent layoff, where many in your social circle are facing similar career trauma.. The news your friends, family, and perhaps your colleagues are willing to tell you how very hard it is right now to find a job.   Now is NOT the time for Half Measures on your path to being fully and successfully employed.

The right job opportunity is possible for you, in any economy.. but Half Measures will avail you NOTHING,  and a steady diet of bad news is not going to help. 

CREATE POSITIVE MOMENTUM: Stay fully intentional about activities that support your gainful employment in a job you would love. 







4 Job Seeking Time Wasters That Are Blocking Your Goals

1. Mistaking "growing a friends list" with "networking for jobs".  YES most jobs are found through networking, but it must have focus, and it should be personal..
2. Emailing a resume EVERYWHERE without a cover introduction or any context is not activity, its time wasting.  In a time where viruses are being sent by email, if you are sending unsolicited resumes without attachments or sufficient introduction they are NOT EVEN being opened, and are likely being filtered as SPAM.
3. Jobsearch/Applicant Tracking Systems: I will just add my resume and see what jobs come..G.I.G.O (Garbage in.. Garbage Out).    Do you get alot of unsolicited SPAM get rich quick gigs?  Do you get bizarre job offers that have little to do with your skills?  Do you really want a job from most people that would get your resume from the big resume sites when all you add is a resume?  If you can fill a profile, people know not only what your resume SAYS but from your profile they understand your location, preferences, special skills that justify your salary. Complete your profile when asked, if folks are knocking, it could be you have not provided enough.. if its just your resume you sent, with no context, its not enough.
4. Believing that the bad news on tv is helping you be prepared to face the challenges of employment.  Unemployment is bad, but studying why you are not able to get a job is a sure waste of time to getting there.  Even in the worst jobs loss economy ever, there are people getting jobs.. Fact is you dont need thousands of jobs, you need ONE that uses your skills well, compliments your values, and compensates your talents.

SUMMARY: Keep your job search simple but focused. 

a. Create a natural job search strategy to request help from people who can help you- clear elevator pitch of introduction, request for information or help, friendly follow up and keep in touch with those who can influence. 

b. Send your resume with an accompanying cover line, subject line and email format. Include why you are sending the resume and how you are a match to their needs.

c. Complete a profile so those using a job search board or applicant tracking system will know to call you.  Rest assured if its not in your profile and they have questions, your profile will help you.

d. Build competency for gainful employment rather than limitation.  Cultivate a network of possibility thinkers who have done or are doing what you aspire to do.. Create the news read the news, be involved in Twitter and industry groups to keep your skills sharp.
