10 tips for job hunters in 2012

2012-01-16T18:26:00.002-05:00

Welcome to the 2012 job hunting season, its officially open with the new year and the first day back to work. January is almost always the busiest hiring month of the year thanks to new budgets being unleashed into the recruiting wild.

Many of you will be looking for a new gig this year so here's what you really NEED to know about today's job market.

1. Hiring will be better than last year. Economists expect an average of 175,000 new jobs to be created each month. Things are slowly getting better.

2. The resume black hole still exists. Even if you submit your resume into an ATS (applicant tracking system) its always a good idea to find another way into the company and get your resume in front of an actual person.

3. It's still a "buyers market", at least in most industries. Many employers are still looking for an 'exact DNA match" to their open positions.

4. Age discrimination is still rampant. You need to fight it. Here are some links to help.

5. It's always better to have your resume written by a professional resume writer. Make an investment, get it done.

6. Hiring cycles are still long and drawn out. Be patient after your first interview. There are lots of variables that go into making a hiring decision.

7. When search for jobs online, ignore the job date. If its 2-3 weeks old there is still a very good chance the job is still open and the company is still interviewing.

8. When using job search engines realize they aren't as inclusive as you think. They now only index those companies/job boards that pay them. You still need to seek out the niche and local job boards in your field. You must maximize your search.

9. Tap the hidden job market. Look for companies that are growing and take any job to get your foot in the door. You'll have more job security in the long run.

10. Realize technology is changing the way we work. You need to keep up with it. Don't be left behind.

Thanks for reading and happy hunting everyone. Go get'em!

iPhone app tracks hidden jobs

2011-03-03T11:16:00.001-05:00

Hidden jobs are everywhere. You just have to know where to look. I believe todays job seekers need to "company hunt" not job hunt. They need to look for companies that are growing/expanding. And these companies aren't necessarily on the job boards. I've recently created a new app to help you find these jobs.

Its called the ‘hidden jobs app’ and it tracks hidden job announcements across the U.S. in a simple interface that accesses a proprietary database which I update daily. If you have an iphone (or ipod touch or ipad), I’d appreciate if you download it and give it a review. (.99 cents). The app lists stories and announcements from companies that are expanding or announcing hiring plans and then links to that article inside the app so you can read it.

Download it here >>

I got the idea after seeing some of Jim Stroud's posts on the subject and thought to myself. There should be an app for that. So I found a developer on elance and the app was done in less than a month. Its intended for job seekers, career coaches, reporters or anyone who wants to learn about companies that are hiring.

"The Wal-Mart Foundation has just awarded a grant to The WorkPlace on behalf of the CT-NY Talent for Growth Region. Our proposal was one of only seven selected nationally under Wal-Mart’s “America Works” initiative. This was an invitation only competitive process.

Key activities include hiring “Career Coaches” for Healthcare and Green who will provide One-Stop customers with in-depth knowledge of the opportunities in these areas. They will train One-Stop staff to build the base of knowledge, and will create regional resource guides for a new career and employment Portal. Additional training dollars will be leveraged through federal and state resources. Businesses will connect to the project in several important ways, including a new e-mentorship program, job shadowing, and internships.

In this exciting initiative, The WorkPlace, Inc. will work closely with outstanding partners who have been active collaborators in the CT-NY Talent for Growth regional initiative: Westchester/Putnam Workforce Investment Board; Yonkers Workforce Investment Board; Career Resources, Inc.; Westchester Community College; Norwalk Community College; and The Business Council of Fairfield County."

NEW Networking Event--Based on 6-Degrees of Separation

2009-11-30T09:24:00.003-05:00

You've been PERSONALLY INVITED to join the Outbreak!

Tuesday, Dec. 8th 5-8PM
BUtterfield8 in Stamford, CT
http://www.socialmediaoutbreak.com

Maybe you've got 200 connections on LinkedIn, 150 Facebook buddies and 50 Twitter followers--when was the last time you really maximized the power of those connections?

Social Media Outbreak is the newest, and among the most powerful, way to take those online connections...offline.

It is a series of invitation-only gatherings in which guests are asked to attend ONLY via social media websites. These gatherings are part networking, part social, and wholly fun and eye-opening for attendees.

Social Media Outbreak is designed to demonstrate that we are all connected, and usually by fewer than 6 degrees.

Here's how it works: You invite a friend via social media. You might invite a Twitter follower...they invite a Facebook buddy...that person sends an invitation to a LinkedIn colleague...who invites another LinkedIn contact...and on....and on! PLEASE FOLLOW UP WITH YOUR INVITES AND MAKE SURE THEY RSVP ON THIS SITE!!!

The benefit: No awkward walk into an event an hoping you run into someone you know. You were invited by a connection, and you invited someone else.

You'll be surprised by the social or new business connections you'll make simply by connecting in-person with friends-of-friends.

It is a small world--and social media makes it even smaller!

Social Media Outbreak will show you that you need to be logged on to be plugged in!

By limiting attendance to paid, invitation-only, we assure you that you will meet people you need to know, people that "get it" and people with whom you will learn and have fun.

If everyone knows 300 people, and you connect with just 100 at a SMO function, you've increased your network by 30K--just by having fun.

So what will YOU get out of this? $20 ticket price includes:

1. Your first drink and appetizers,

2. $25 gift certificate to BUtterfield8 and

3. Rani Connor of "Designs By Rani" has agreed to display her hand-made jewelry at Social Media Outbreak. Visit www.DesignsByRani.com to see her stuff -- bring your checkbook or cash to buy that night. Get your holiday shopping started early by buying beautiful jewelry.

At the end of the night, we'll provide you with complete social media contact info for all attendees - and show you how we are all connected.

Wanna play? Reserve your ticket now (attendance is limited), then download the invitation to send to your friends. We can't make it easier than that!
