Focus on who you know Keeping tabs on what your friends and contacts are doing is a fundamental step in your job search. Although LinkedIn is great for leveraging 2nd and 3rd degree connections, you’d be surprised how helpful your 1st degree friends and acquaintances can be towards building the influence you seek. Tools such as Gist, for example, sync all of your online networks with your e-mail, Google Calendar and more to build a dashboard of all the people and businesses you are associated with. You’d be amazed at the quantity and quality of the companies you are connected to just from your friends and address book!

A few months ago, a friend was telling me about his job search. “I know exactly what I want,” he told me. “I want to earn X shekels and get a company car.” “But what if you earn a bit more and don’t get a car?” I asked. “Possibly,” he responded, “but it would have to be at least 500 shekels more.” In this conversation, my friend and I were actively illustrating his indifference curve regarding the compensation he was looking for in his upcoming job. For example, one may accept a lower salary for a higher pension or one may accept a higher salary but no company car.

If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. When I was a child I was scared and easily intimated but that changed when I was 17 and diagnosed with cancer.

Directory listing tips * Popular directories became popular because they are generally easy to use, and specifically so for listing yourself. Take advantage of all the options to give yourself exposure is as many relevant categories as possible. * When a directory limits the number of categories (or tags) where you can list yourself (such as 5 for WeFollow, 10 for Twellow), browse all the categories that are relevant to your personal brand and then choose the best trade-off among the categories that you 'must' be in and the categories where you can rank highly e.g. on the first page of listings for that category.

14% of Resumes Not Written By The Job Seeker [POLL RESULTS AND ANALYSIS]

The most accurate poll I've conducted so far this year (probably). Read on to find out why that is, but first... The poll results and what they mean Here are the official results of the poll: [poll id="7"] 86% You did it alone Not much surprise here, you probably wrote your own resume too. 8% Someone else (mostly) This poll answer could have been clearer, but I think voters did understand that it was for the case where the main writer of your resume wasn't you or a professional resume writer. Perhaps it was a family member, a friend, a school counselor, a job search coach, a career center staffer, etc. When I found my job at Amazon, a friend helped translate translated my resume into French. He did a great job, and the result was memorable in a completely unintentional but positive way- there were some Quebecois expressions that got a chuckle from French recruiters.
