So, you know you need a resume, right?

Oh, the things I do for you people! As it has no doubt become apparent, I have very little patience with the whole “resume field”, as in my struggles with finding employment over the past decade I have had my resume wrung out, shredded, reformatted, inverted, dumbed-down, anonymized, starved down to one page, ballooned out...

Networking, networking, networking (and some links) ...

One of the topics that I keep returning to here is that of Networking … getting out of your house, perhaps getting out of “your comfort zone”, and rubbing elbows with other folks at events in the general context of what you’re looking for in your job search. As I’ve mentioned, I try very hard... Read more »

Busting THE MISSION MYTH

Busting THE MISSION MYTH
One of the habits that I’m starting to develop as part of my job search is to read more business-oriented literature – part of it is to develop that business sense, but part of it is to take advantage of an obvious gap in my experiences – that of learning how to think like a... Read more »

More Free Books …

A few weeks ago, I did a post about a bunch of books that author Scott Ginsberg was releasing in .pdf format for free. As most of these were available for order on Amazon, for various amounts, it was quite the deal. Well, it appears that Scott did that release as a lead up to... Read more »

Guest Post: Jon Gordon

I’m sorry if you were breathlessly waiting in anticipation for the latest batch of job-search links to appear in this space, but I’ve been crazy busy with networking events (and a couple of actual assignments), and just wasn’t able to block the time out to get that pulled together this weekend. Rather than going out-of-sequence... Read more »

Just pushing forward ...

OK … really wish I had some “trending” stuff to bring you here this week, but I’m drawing pretty much a blank. I could talk about some random “networking” things, but none of these have been particularly useful/ interesting of late; I could talk about interviews and such, but nothing’s been evolving on the handful...

When is a book post not a book post?

There is a subtle pun in operation in the title, but you’ll have to go check my review site later to get it. But, how can I be doing a “book feature” here without having a review of a book to feature? Well, it’s because today I’m pointing you to a whole bunch of books... Read more »

There Need Be ONLY ONE …

Yeah, going for a whole Highlander thing there with the pic and the title, but, seriously, a variation of this has become something of a mantra as my job search has dragged on … “It only takes one, it only takes One, it only takes ONE!” … I’m not looking for a lot of jobs... Read more »

Getting That Dream Job

Getting That Dream Job
(Yes, I received a free copy of the book for purposes of review. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way….) One of the things that has been really frustrating in terms of job seeking has been the huge amount of content about how to find/get/keep a job. Most of the “conventional” wisdom tends... Read more »

With the barkers and the colored balloons …

I’d been feeling bad about not having had any books to feature here that were specifically about the job search, but I’d just not had any come my way in the past several months. So, I was pretty excited when Ten Speed Press contacted me to see if I wanted to get a review copy... Read more »
