Use Your Job Strengths For A Faster Job Search

Trying to stand out in a crowd is not always the best way to stand out. I was once chatting with an old friend of mine about his dating struggles. Or rather, struggles about his lack of serious dating. In his late 30's, single and wanting very much to start a family, he felt the pressure mounting as time crept on. As a result, he began looking for new ways to meet that special someone. Later that year, he signed up to a major dating site and spent 3 months meeting site members whose profiles showed that they had similar interests. Unfortunately, the 3 months went by without him meeting anyone significant which, although he didn't say so, only made the situation seem more desperate. However, when I asked him why he thought it didn't work out, he responded with 2 key insights to dating websites: * How good you look in your profile picture will decide whether people continue reading your profile * When a better-looking person is potentially just one click away, you need to look great to keep people from clicking too quickly Although he's a decent-looking guy, he didn't stand much of a chance in that situation.

Job Search at Work? 5 Must-Read Tips

Put less pressure on yourself by job searching while employed. This is a guest post by Dave Thomas. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob follow these guest post guidelines. There are always individuals with jobs who for one reason or another choose to search for a different position. When those cases arise, it behooves the individual to be as discreet as possible so that their present employer is not privy to their search, something that in the end could cost the employee their present job. The last thing you want is to really need to search for a job because you just lost your current job due to wasting the employer’s time. In the event you want or feel the need to get another position while presently employed, keep these factors in mind.

Were You Laid Off or Fired? Why It Matters

Stop shooting yourself in the foot. Fired vs. Laid off: What's the difference? The word 'layoff' gets thrown about very easily, especially when times are tough and the unemployment rate is high, but getting laid off and getting fired aren't the same thing. Getting fired - when a person is let go from a company, often due to their poor performance, without any hope of being rehired Example: if he hadn't resigned first, David Sokol probably would have been fired by Berkshire Hathaway for violating their ethical code of conduct by buying shares in a company that he knew Berkshire would purchase. Getting laid off - when a person is let go from a company, usually due to their company's poor performance, with the possibility of being rehired if the company's performance improves Example: my entire team of web developers and I were laid off in early 2006, as my employer hoped to save money by outsourcing our work.
