I get it, I really do! Rare is the human that leaps out of bed exclaiming “Holy crap am I so excited. I get to search for a job today!” In fact, for most, the process is about as enjoyable as having a root canal. How to Make the Job Search Process More Enjoyable Than a Trip to the Dentist 1) Break it down Not as in MC Hammer moves, but if that helps, go for it! The process is large and daunting. Where to begin? Well, at the beginning. Start with a self-evaluation or online assessment to keep things as objective (vs. emotionally driven or reactive) as possible. You want to set yourself up for success, so make an effort to ensure that jobs to which you apply are relevant, of interest, mesh with your personality, fit within your requirements and meet most of your “desirable” components of a job.

Top 10 Most Overlooked LinkedIn Profile Tips

LinkedIn profile any good? Here's how to make it great. While the fundamentals for creating a LinkedIn profile are not difficult, I am going to explain what I know as the top ten most overlooked LinkedIn tips for businesses and individuals. Right now, 44.6% of new business is generated through B2B leads powered by LinkedIn, according to the recent State of Digital Marketing Report. In a few short years, LinkedIn has become the largest professional social network in the world, and is an invaluable resource for any business, or business-minded individual. It allows you to connect with colleagues and discover potential partnerships in ways never before possible, and can even be used to provide you with news and updates from your biggest competitors. Anyone doing business in any industry today needs to use LinkedIn - and use it well. But the only way LinkedIn helps you at all is if you utilize it effectively. After several years of revising, revamping, and optimizing LinkedIn profiles for businesses and business professionals of all backgrounds and levels, I began to notice the same mistakes my clients made prior to my hiring my services. LinkedIn is simple enough to use, but it is such a powerful and thorough tool that there are many points which can be easily overlooked. These incredibly useful tips are not only going to make your LinkedIn profile the strongest it can possibly be, they are also going to change the way you use your LinkedIn for business.

The Secret to Boosting Your Reputation Online

How to spin your online presence for best results. This is a guest post by Tony Deblauwe. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. The continuous expansion of technology has provided a wealth of tools to assist in job search. For all the capabilities job seekers now possess to discover who is hiring and what companies are thumbs up or down in terms of environment and management, the flip side of progress is the information available to companies about individuals. Innocent comments, blogs, photos, or job history have been consumed by web archiving engines, algorithms, and tagging to create a fortress of details that can paint a different profile than what you want to show the world. All it takes is a few clicks and the wrong interpretation of those details can mean the difference between getting a recruiter to call you or not. Whether you like or accept the collateral damage of the Internet way of life, you have to be as mindful about taking care of your online personal brand as you do diet and exercise. The good news is that unless you have a deep history of negative events in your digital past, you don’t need a professional to erase your tracks. You can take steps to boost the good stuff you want to people to associate with you and minimize the potentially disruptive content.

The Jobseeker Mindset: It’s All About Hustle

Just do it. This is a guest post by Steve P. Brady. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. Looking for work is, well, hard work. This is especially true if you are currently unemployed or fresh out of school. The lack of a paycheck makes everything more stressful. The whole process can be daunting. You need to target your resume, keep your LinkedIn profile updated, network, apply for jobs, practice interviewing, apply some more and on it goes. After a few weeks, it is easy to develop a pretty poor attitude about the whole job hunt. But complaining about it won’t get you that job. You know what will?
