Jobs for Everyone?

Despite the bad economy, there are boat loads of jobs just waiting to be taken. Recently, I was listening to a panel of employment experts and an astute recruiter discussed how there were jobs available for every job hunter. Her comments instantly took me back to my many conversations with recruiters or hiring managers were scrambling to find the right candidate. The irony is that even though the unemployment rate has been high – theoretically meaning a surplus of talented, qualified individuals – it is harder than ever to find the RIGHT person.

What does this mean for the you, the young professional on the hunt? Lots of good news. Yes, there are positions for you out there, in fact, right now, a recruiter or hiring manager is praying for a candidate like you. Seriously.

Here is your strategy: (1) Figure out where you are going and determine the titles of the positions that you are looking for. Also, think through the problems that you can solve for an employer. (2) Who needs your help? Identify EVERY organization that needs someone like you. (3) Brainstorm the potential titles of the hiring managers who could be your new boss, and, (4) Develop a rock-solid plan to market yourself to those folks.

So do your future boss a favor (and save her a few thousand dollars) and deliver the perfect candidate for that hard-to-fill position… YOU!

About four months ago, we chatted about internships on KUOW 94.9 (NPR) about internships and how to find the right one. If you are interested take a listen. Oh, and yes, people of all ages are obtaining internships these days. The downturn in the economy may decrease paid jobs, but unpaid internships (even legitimate ones) [...] Read more

Yesterday, I had the wonderful opportunity to speak with Michael Surkan who leads the podcast series, “Tales from The Job Search”. We had a great conversation about how to transition from college to your career and what resources are available to college students in the area. An interesting discussion also developed about professionals who return [...] Read more

Job hunting is so much harder today than it was 5 years ago. Heck, it is way different than it was last September. Undoubtedly the economy has changed the way jobs are found and then numbers available. While I certainly hope that the economy shapes up as much as the next guy, the reality is [...] Read more

The best way to find a job, especially one you love is to keep persevering! One of my most willing and open students I have met with just landed a job with his dream company! It is a perfect match for his skills, aspirations, and non-work passions. How did he get such a great gig? [...] Read more

I recently had a client who was complaining about how hard it was to find a job in the Seattle area. Every job he applied to was taken by someone on the “inside track”. Even the government jobs he was interested in seemed to be filled by “insiders” despite the strict hiring procedures characteristic of government employment. [...] Read more

Allow me to rant. I have recently run into an overwhelming number of individuals on the job market with questions about how to write a “functional” or “skills” résumé.  Functional résumés are actually a misnomer because functional résumé are neither functional nor do they illuminate your skills in a more appealing manner. For those of [...] Read more

If you have recently been laid-off, you probably are sick of the question “why did you leave your last position”. This question is commonplace in both employment interviews and networking opportunities. Before you dive into the details or throw out a subtle comment about your dislike for your former boss or previous employer, stop and [...] Read more

In tough times, many people look to update their skills or continue their education. I was exchanging emails with a client who is considering taking some courses at a local college and he wanted to know whether it would be a good investment in his marketability or a waste of money. Here are my thoughts [...] Read more

Several years ago, I went on a road trip with two good friends of mine. We decided not to take directions and make it more interesting. What we did have was a destination and we were able to ask for directions to landmarks along the way. It actually was an incredible memory as we felt the thrill of adventure and exploration. Like my road trip, most career transitions do not have a map or a prescriptive directions sheet. However, by having a destination to target your journey, it is much easier to find the path by asking for directions along the way from the individuals in your network. Read more
