Early Birds and Worms!

Today's events made me think of one of my long time favorite pieces of advice. When actively job hunting (especially if you are unemployed) make sure to check your messages frequently. Recruiters receive calls from their clients with needs that might need to be filled immediately. As soon as I start a search, I send messages (email, voicemail, text) to those I feel are top candidates. Usually, I begin with those who I know have recently told me they are ready to get back to work. If I have an urgent need that they fit, obviously, I want to get then submitted ASAP. Sadly, slow responses could very well lead to another individual getting the job offer. Early birds do catch worms! #jobsearch #recruiting #jobs #interviewing  

Out-of-the Box Works!!

We've all endured the most bizarre time in our lives and I believe it has altered the mindsets of many people. Some people tragically saw their careers put on hold as the fields they worked in simply dried up.

A lot of folks have asked me what to do to get back to work. Depending on your financial needs, I have a crazy idea to offer you. Find a completely new field to enter into which you have no experience with but feel you would be good at! Sometimes, this is a formula which will actually work out well!

Many years ago, the early childhood center, which my daughter attended daily, was struggling to maintain staffing levels in their infant/toddler program. They took a chance and hired an individual who had spent over thirty years as a manager in the corporate world (and recently retired) even though she had never been a parent or worked with toddlers. Quickly, she established herself as a phenomenal caregiver loved by the children, her co-workers, and the parents! Out-of-the-box hiring decisions can be terrific for both candidates and hiring managers.

Keep Searching!

 Many people make the mistake of thinking they are about to be hired after a very positive interview and put job search on hold. Certainly, a very upbeat interview process, where your references start being checked and the potential employer asks you about a potential start date, gives you reason to feel confident, it is possible an offer may not develop. There is always a chance that someone higher up the chain at the company decides to not sign off as a cost cutting move or, unknown to the hiring manager, there is an internal candidate who is suddenly pushed forward by a manager with more influence leading to them getting job, or many other reasons why the offer is not made. Until you have a firm offer, accept it, and receive a start date, it is in your best interest to keep pursuing other opportunities. There is an old adage, which I firmly believe, that stirring up other offers can make the one you really want come to fruition.

 I am curious as to how many people feel they need to hire a resume writer. My opinion is that money could be better used to hire a coach who might suggest tweaks to your resume while focusing more on your job search strategy overall. Please answer this poll and feel free to add a comment!
