Are you your own worst job search enemy? This is a guest post by Joey Trebif. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. We all know that job search can be tough and there are so many reasons why your search may take longer than you had hoped. The economy, your industry, your experience and competition are just a few of the factors that will impact your ability to land a new job. But what if it's more complicated than that? What if it's the unthinkable - you are the reason you are not getting any job offers? Maybe you've thought about it, but if you haven't, you should. Think about it - YOU are the single largest factor in getting a new job (or promotion or raise). It's just not enough being the best and the brightest (and it never was). It's about the entire package - how you present yourself, your resume, your cover letter, your network, your interview skills, your experience - and the list goes on. So now that you've given it some thought, what are the reasons you won't get hired?
No blogging required. For the first time in 7 years, my annual guest blogging contest has been gamified, thanks to our Chrome sponsor Captain Up. What does it mean that the 7JGBC has been gamified? With the publication of the first guest post on Thursday August 1st, until the end of the 7th Annual JobMob Guest Blogging Contest - the 7JGBC - on September 24th, any visitor to JobMob during the 7-week contest time frame will earn points and badges. For every article you visit, for every comment you make, for every social media share and more, you will earn points and badges and everything will be tracked via the Leaderboard.

In this contest update, there are 3 new sponsors and $1900 in new prizes, putting the overall contest total at almost $10000. Crazy!
