4 Easy Steps to Positive Job Finding Thoughts

How to get a positive outlook on your job search. This is a guest post by Kate Baggott. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. Any job search can be a long-term project. It can induce a loop of depressive or obsessive thoughts and provoke the fear that life will never improve from its current state. I wrote this little essay to remind myself that life's difficulties always end. Sometimes they morph into happy times, sometimes they evolve into stranger and more interesting difficulties. Still, the only way to recognize improvements and changes is to change that cycle of obsessive thoughts.

The Absolute 13 Best Websites for Job Researching Companies in the USA

That is, the 13 best websites that aren't Google or LinkedIn. This is a guest post by Heather Krasna. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. I tell people that it never hurts to apply for a job, and when in doubt, go ahead and apply for a position (unless, of course, you meet less than about 75% of the qualifications). In real life, though, people don't have time to apply to each position they see. To prioritize whether to apply, there are certain websites I direct people to help research the companies/organizations they are applying to. Through these sites, you can find out what salaries might be offered, what the culture of the organization is like, and even whether you might like your future boss.

Why I Stayed at the Same Company for 7 Years (and Counting)

One way of avoiding a job search is to stay and evolve with your current employer. This a guest post by Karen Cayamanda. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. It’s been more than seven years since I started working at an outsourcing company. In this time and age when everybody seems to be on a constant lookout for diversity in almost anything, the fact that I managed to stay at the same company for several years never fails to surprise other people. I don’t mind. In fact, I sometimes wonder how I did it, and why. I’ve always wanted to be a writer. A month after college graduation, I got a nice job offer - a start-up company was in need of a content writer for its network of websites. I got the job, and started writing about a wide range of topics. That was 2004.
