Over the past year I have managed to become very familiar with job hunting in Israel. You can find yourself constantly working or not working at all. Most of the people I know who are looking for work rarely do EVERYTHING they could be doing to find work, many are doing things wrong, and some stuff which in retrospect should have been done differently.
Primarily it is the difference between being passive to active while not being overly aggressive. Don’t be lazy, work is out there. Get up and find it.
I am not a guru, and the lists below are far from comprehensive, but I think they will help many of you find the work you need so badly.

For many years, still going on, I was willfully deployed as a “soldier of fortune”- no pay and thinly-spread thankfulness. My weapons were firstly writing my thoughts down, and secondly picking the time to release it in a vaguely-defined media space.
Days can pass in loneliness before sudden awareness wakes me up to spit a fireball of creativity unto paper or desktop. The world needs these ideas I often told myself.
Being unemployed officially for many years I became, because I couldn’t lay down, a silent observer from the side of society watching the rough and super-fine edges of what is going on in the national and international arenas of difficulty. This was and is my major interest- political creativity. I wrote my thoughts down and was ultimately recognized.
People will take notice and you may just become a diplomat and player behind the scenes.

Back story
A friend of mine in her 40′s is just finishing up her PhD. Her focus is very much on the Digital Native generation (GenY, the Millenials) both in her research and her teaching. She posted a Facebook update that she has noticed that her written communications have become short and abbreviated, due to her heavy use of Twitter, texting her teenage son and her students, and using more shorthand in our connected world.
My comment to her was that her communication skills are degrading, from a business perspective.
I’ve noticed this more and more in the last few years as texting shorthand has become more prevalent and as IM is becoming more of preferred communication tool in the workplace. And I have to say, there is no excuse for poor language skills in any professional setting.
It is one of the red flags that will differentiate a top candidate from a mediocre one.
