Aiming Low

I know I’ve blogged about this before, but it’s worth another go. A week rarely passes without me hearing a job seeker lament about being over qualified. Employers aren’t giving them a chance, you see. They are being passed over for that $30K job because they made $75K in their last position. Well, duh. Of […]

Reality Check

For all of you stuck in the “there are no jobs” mentality, guess what happened today? Someone retired. Someone decided not to return from a maternity leave. Someone moved out-of-state for a job or for family reasons. Someone was promoted. Someone was fired for poor performance. Someone quit to go it alone. Someone was called […]

You Don’t Know What You’re Missing

This is going to sound like a no-brainer, but when you make a networking connection it is important to provide that person with a way to get in touch with you. Job seekers who are out mingling with the business crowd have the ear of a number of people in a position to learn of […]
