The hidden job market ...

The hidden job market ...
I’m strangely excited to be able to bring you an actual job search book this week!  As enthusiastic as I’ve been for the various Social Media releases that I’ve been featuring here, I do realize that these are not as to-the-point for everybody else’s job search as they are for mine.  The current book, Donald...

Somewhat back to normal ...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/katerha/5013886721/ So, as regular readers of this space know, this has been a bit of a topsy-turvy week, with last weekend having the links and the book feature (such as the latter’s been of late) flipped, and then my being out of town mid-week for the 140 Character Conference, from which I attempted a bit...

Have it your way ...

This week we’re taking a look at Mark Jeffries’ The Art of Business Seduction: A 30-Day Plan to Get Noticed, Get Promoted, and Get Ahead  … usually I have a problem with those long title/subtitle combinations, but in this case it certainly helps (as “The Art of Business Seduction” by itself just brings up the...

A Chicago institution ...

Those following this blog will recall that one of the main reasons that I got The Job Stalker assignment was that I’m in my third major job-search in the past 10 years.  After my publishing company faltered (it was a long slow death), I went back to school to learn web development and related programming...

Some other folks on Twitter ...

One of the things that Shel Israel looked at in Twitterville was the way that companies present themselves on Twitter.  In each of the previous “job industry people I know from Twitter” features here, I’ve come to know a person at the company, either through Twitter, or a combination of Twitter and live networking.  In...

I'm just a guy who needs a job ...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/india-nepal-iran/203982474/ Been having some struggles over this blog.  On one hand, I really do feel bad if I’m not getting up 2-3 posts a week in here, but I also feel that nobody wants to read me blithering about random stuff.  One of the reasons I’ve set up “regular features” is to have something to...

A beautiful day in the neighborhood ...

As anybody who has been reading The Job Stalker blog over the past half year or so will know, I have been relying predominantly on Twitter in my current job search, for job leads, information on networking events, keeping up with contacts made at networking events, and for those story links that I share in...

What do you say when ...

Yes, what do you say when such-and-such happens?  You may have run scenarios around in your head from time to time, but presented with a specific challenge, especially in a business context, you want to be prepared.  This is pretty much the aim of Casey Hawley’s 10 Make-or-Break Career Moments: Navigate, Negotiate, and Communicate for...

Maybe something that's NOT a job ...

Some days I think that maybe looking for “a job” isn’t all it’s cracked up to be … maybe I don’t want “a job” … but I want to keep the house, educate the kids, pay the bills, etc., what else is there?  Well, this very popular book by Timothy Ferriss, The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape... Read more »

A day late ...

So … came this || close to there not being a “data dump” this week, and, as it is, this is pushing past a day beyond when I’d usually be passing along the week’s “best of” to you.  Why? Well, because the week was crazy (even beyond the insanity inherent in the 3rd shift schedule)... Read more »
