If you are not getting the results you want from telephone conversations, interviews or follow up calls, it may be time to record yourself. Think of the times when a family member has called you and immediately asks you “what’s wrong?”, because they picked up something in your voice. Something as simple as smiling when you talk can project a different impression on the phone. It may not be what you’re saying that is preventing you from finding a job - it could be how you’re saying it.

Take time today to review your resume and your cover letter. If you were a hiring authority, would you clearly understand the opportunities you are pursuing? Is it clear what industry or profession you are targeting? Would you be impressed by the accomplishments you have achieved and the impact they have had on past employers?

The Caucuses have kicked off the political process in this Election Year. Historically, elections are great for job seekers. The party who is in office will do all they can do to create jobs to be re-elected. Opponents will focus as much energy as possibly drawing attention the unemployment rate. The campaigns of both parties will pour millions of dollars into the economy and again this is good news for you!

During our weekly job seeker live webinars, our trainer has picked up on some negative attitudes from some of the job seekers who are asking questions. Our fear is that potential employers might also pick up on these negative vibes and impact their decision to hire or not to hire. We understand this is a very difficult time of year to be unemployed. We understand that many of you are sick and tired of your family and friends asking you if you are still looking for a job. We understand how frustrating it is to be rejected and not receive a job offer. It’s easy to focus on what has and is going wrong with your job search.

Your job search is a sales process. You WILL experience frustration, rejection and disappointments. It is so important to view these setbacks as lessons or opportunities to improve your job search techniques.
If you are not scheduling interviews, it may be time to review and possibly adjust your job targets or career path. This could result in more interviews and a new fulfilling career.
If you don't interview well, practice answering the difficult questions like "Tell me About Yourself" and "Why did you leave your last job?" These questions are commonly asked and being prepared will help you
ace your next interview.
If your questions did not reveal the challenges or preferences of the hiring authority, rewrite the questions you will ask. The purpose of your questions is to reveal what is most important to this particular hiring authority so you can position yourself as their solution.
The job market is improving, job offers are being made and if you stay positive and continue to improve your job search efforts, you will begin to enjoy results and obtain a job offer or offers!
You attitude greatly impacts the level of success you will enjoy throughout your job search. See the cup half full and expect to succeed at identifying and landing your dream job!
