Job Search Tips: Finding a Job Made Easier with a Job Coach

April 23rd, 2012

By Jessica Alan

The story is taking place millions of times over for millions of good people. The resume and the effort to find a job are doing almost nothing. The frustration of submitting hundreds of online applications for jobs, with no results but time spent without pay, is exhausting and demoralizing. It is time to find a good Job Coach.

Job Coach:  A Job Coach can offer a client a full service career counseling service, to get things moving forward.

Job Search Tips: Top Tips For Finding A Job in the Charity & Not-For Profit Sector

April 17th, 2012

By Charles Reybreck

We spend the majority of our waking lives at work; it’s little wonder that so many of us yearn to make that time meaningful. We can’t all be scientists, doctors or politicians but working in the charity or not-for-profit sector allows people from all walks of life to work towards a positive change in the world.

Whether you’re a new graduate or looking to make a career change, the not-for-profit sector is proving an increasingly popular vocational destination. Traditionally this sector has been seen as a financial compromise and indeed, salaries lag behind the private sector, especially at the highest management levels. However, it is not unusual for salaries to range from $30,000-$60,000 and as one NFP convert says: “the emotional satisfaction I get from knowing the company I work for is actually out there improving people’s lives cannot be underestimated. It makes me feel even though I can’t be on the front lines feeding the hungry in person, the work I do really matters.” » Read more: Job Search Tips: Top Tips For Finding A Job in the Charity & Not-For Profit Sector

Job Search Tips: What the Hunger Games shows us about the job search

By Bob McIntosh, Certified Professional Resume Writer

The other night I saw The Hunger Games with my daughter and one of her friends. When we got into a discussion about the various scenes in the movie, we all agreed that Rue’s death was the saddest…oh, I hope I’m not giving away too much of the movie.

There’s another scene I would classify as more bloody and kick-you-in-the-gut than sad. It’s when the tributes race from their platforms and charge to the Cornucopia to get the weapons of their choice.

Wham, like 12 kids get wiped out. It’s at this point when I thought this is not an appropriate movie for two 14-year-olds or, for that matter, me. It began to look like a scene out of Platoon or the Deer Hunter on steroids.

Prior to this scene, Haymitch tells  Katniss to head for the high grounds, not the weapons. “Water will be your best friend,” he advises. The things-career-related freak I am, I immediately saw a parallel to the career search and this scene. » Read more: Job Search Tips: What the Hunger Games shows us about the job search
