What’s New, Hot and Hidden on LinkedIn

3 LinkedIn features that you aren't using enough of. This is a guest post by Donna Sweidan. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. There are a few things we know for sure: * The world of work has irreversibly changed * job search is no fun * networking is the foundation of your career success and... * LinkedIn is now as fundamental to a job search as a resume ever was So where does this leave you if LinkedIn is always evolving, you’re ready to hustle, or you are still employed and need to be discrete about a job search? For better or worse, the LinkedIn interface and its features are always evolving, and it’s just not that intuitive to use. Like many other social media tools, there are just so many bells and whistles it’s hard to keep up with them. So what’s a frustrated job seeker (or career changer) to do? Well, you have two options: one, become an active and proactive user of the site or, two, follow those that are.

How A Resume Works To Get You Hired

Black and white resumes do it best. This is a guest post by Todd Porter. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. In an age of social media and virtual networking, job hunting is different than it was 50, 40 or even 30 years ago. In the 60’s and 70’s people typically didn’t change jobs every few years. Individuals would land a job with the anticipation that they would work there until they retired. There were no job sites like Monster.com. There was no Internet where information was easily accessible or e-mail where resumes could be easily submitted. What hasn’t changed is that the resume is still the number one tool used to land a job. Actually, considering resumes are 500 years old (don’t believe it? Google “Leonardo Da Vinci 1482 resume”) they haven’t changed a lot. Unfortunately, most individuals don’t grasp the intricate parts of this tool and how to use it effectively. Resumes aren’t black and white. Well, actually most resumes are black and white (more about that later).

Maybe, then, it’s time to rethink your interview strategy.

How To Market Yourself For The Job Search or Dating Scenes

What you need to reel them in. This is a guest post by Ofra Kleinberger Riedrich. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. Business relationships are no different from private relationships – the difference occurs because of the context in which the relationship exists. And so, it has occurred to me that business tactics can surely help people be more successful also in their private life - when looking for a partner, or in the bridge in between - such as when looking for work. In the words of Rabbi Shmuly Boteach – dating is like going on a series of interviews for the most important position in your life, the position of a spouse. In the search for a loving partner, the modern dating scene allows for business marketing tactics as tools that can assist people to self-market themselves as desirable dates to the opposite sex. When looking for employment, you need to present yourself at your best to your prospective new boss. In this short blog, I want to review the AIDA marketing model and how it can be used on the way to true love or new employment on the way to furthering your career.
