Blog Post: New Year, New You and a New Job!


posted Monday, January 28, 2008 2:41 PM

It's a brand new year ... Welcome to Staffing Excellence's new online blog on Jobing.com! I will be posting many new topics in the coming days to aid job seekers in their job search.

> It's a brand new year so get moving! A job search started in January is already behind the competition a little so get your act together now. Look at what worked for you last year and what didn't. Always learn from your mistakes and ask for advice at every turn. Re-tool your resume, apply to jobs that you are qualified for (not just interested in or would like to do) and get some interviews!

Now is the time to get your resumes out there and to create some interview action for yourself. Hiring managers are back at their desks and ready to hire. (Probably because their boss is saying "Have you filled that job yet?") Right now they are getting budgets approved and you must have your resume in front of them in case they need to "create a new position" just for you or their "add to staff" request has been approved.

Get out there and be persistent.
Keep calling those managers or HR people until they give you an interview time or give you the boot. Either way you know what's going on and aren't in limbo. Getting the "We'll call you" line will not work for you this year and will not pay the bills. Get them to fess up on what is going on, ask them "Do you see a reason why my skills and experience are lacking for this position or why I may be perceived as not qualified for this job?" Don't be afraid to hit them with the hard questions.

Till next time. Good luck!
Scott
