8 Reasons Why You Won’t Be Hired (And How To Get Past Them)

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?

Become Your Own Job Creator in 10 Simple Steps

Maybe what you're looking for has been right in front of you all along. This is a guest post by Donna Sweidan. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. You may have noticed that the job landscape today is very different than the one we were looking at just five years ago. And although there is a lot of talk about jobs returning, the job search market is likely to remain daunting for many people. More and more, companies and individuals are shifting away from full-time salaried jobs to hiring freelance or contract workers. Individuals have to adapt to this ongoing trend. Let’s face it: Making a living today is just not how it used to be. Landing a full-time job takes more time and effort, and there is no guarantee that there will be a job with your name on it. So we had better start figuring out how to make a living! Freelancing is no longer reserved for writers or graphic designers. In a world where every job is temporary, micro-jobs may be the new norm for people in many fields. Whether you are an accountant or a teacher, every professional can create their own opportunity. Navigating this new environment is very challenging and intimidating for those of us who are used to the old way of doing things. However, there are 10 simple steps you can take to reboot your career for the new era.

Why A Facebook Page Is A Must For Job Seekers

And how to use a Facebook page to enhance your job search. This is a guest post by Danielle McGaw. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. Social networks can be a great asset to anyone that is looking for a job or knows that they might be looking for a job in the future (and let’s face it - that is most of us!). The fact of the matter is that the number of people that will be looking for a job in the next five years is increasing. So, even if you have a job today, you need to be aware that next week, next month, or next year, you might not and you need to prepare yourself for it now. One of the ways you can do this is by creating a professional Facebook page to brand yourself as a professional in your field and make people aware of your skills. This is not the same as your personal profile where you show off pictures from your latest trip or share funny pictures with your friends. This is purely focused on your professional image.
