I am not sending out resumes until after the holidays because no
one will look at them now.Nobody does much hiring in the winter so I guess I will wait until it warms up again.
Who knows what will happen now that the elections are over. I better wait and see before I continue job searching.
No one appreciates experience anymore and I am NOT settling for less money than I made before I got laid off in 2008.
HOGWASH!
For the first time in a very long time, clients are beginning to chat about jobs such as VP of Software QA, Manager of Sales and Marketing, Partner-level Attorneys, etc. Are they hiring in great numbers? Not just yet. Are they paying top dollar? Absolutely not. Do they seem serious about starting to rebuild diminished work forces? Yes!
If there was ever reason to kick your search process up a notch, I think there is plenty enough right now. Please wake up, stop making excuses to wait a bit longer, and get in position just in case this is not a false alarm!!

Personal Choices
Working in the staffing field, I talk with people with diverse work experiences and all sorts of philosophies on their careers. From very open-minded hiring managers to those who still think that recession means they will find perfect candidates for 30% below market value to candidates who will do anything to avoid unemployment to those who are collecting their government checks and refusing to job hunt, I hear a little bit of this and a little bit of that each week.
Yesterday, I had a great conversation with someone who has been in the engineering field for a very long time and never had been faced with unemployment until about 2 years ago. Insistent on remaining in his field to keep his career intact and properly provide for his family, this gentleman has juggled contract jobs that require him to at times live in a rented space about 2 hours from home and to live over 1000 miles from his family while commuting home once a month or so. He has never filed an unemployment claim and managed to keep0 plugging away no matter what.
No one has the right to tell you how to manage your career but consider how you stack up against others in your field when making very tough choices! As a recruiter, this is one type of candidate I will always enjoy dealing with as he subscribes to something I had pounded into my head when my career began back in prehistoric (or at least before texting developed) times, do Whatever It Takes to succeed!
