In’s & Out’s of Interviewing – Part 1 (video)

February 1st, 2012

 

First in 5-part series featuring Certified Career Coach Arleen Bradley presenting “The In’s and Out’s of Interviewing”

Arleen Bradley is a certified career coach who has an enthusiasm for individuals and their professional transformations. You can feel confident knowing that you will work with a knowledgeable, skilled, and practiced coach.

As the founder/coordinator of two job search networking groups, I have worked with well over 275 job searchers. Currently about 250 are employed because of the resources provided at these groups. I started the first group while I was unemployed. I felt the same anger, stress, frustration, and anxiety many people feel when they experience a job loss. I searched for the support that people in my situation could give. Also, I knew I needed the networking and information that is found in such groups.

While researching the topics of discussion and looking for speakers, I discovered my passion. I soon realized that coaching others to the career of their dreams was something that I was adept at. People would seek me out for further information and support. 

In order to be able to provide state of the art coaching, I obtained two certifications through the Career Coach Academies. I currently hold certifications as a Job Search Strategist and as a Career Management Coach. 

As a holistic coach, I am just as concerned about the job searcher as the job search. I have found that job searchers are experiencing the same stages of grief exhibited by people who have lost a loved one. I searched for a program that would provide job searchers with the tools they need to rid themselves of the baggage they carried from their previous job. It also had to bring them hope and confidence about their job search.

I am happy to say that I have found all that and more with Dr. Lynn Joseph’s Job-Loss Recovery Program®. I found Dr. Joseph’s program to be so successful, that I became a Certified Job Loss Recovery Program® Coach from Dr. Joseph.

In addition to my three certifications, I am happy and proud to say that I am a Careerealism.com Approved Career Expert.

Job Search Tips: There is no excuse for not selling yourself. Two areas in which you must succeed

January 19th, 2012

By Bob McIntosh, Certified Professional Resume Writer

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard, “I can’t sell myself. I just can’t brag.” This coming from jobseekers in my workshops, I understand their consternation yet can’t feign empathy. This would be a disservice to them, to all jobseekers.

There are two undeniable truths. First, if you don’t sell yourself, no one will. It’s like waiting for Prince Charming to arrive or waiting for a job to jump in your lap, none of which are going to happen.

Second, no one is asking you to brag, not even the employer. He’s asking you to promote your accomplishments and relate your skills to the job at hand. No one likes a braggart.

So how do you sell yourself? Selling yourself is going to involve developing a campaign that requires you to use your verbal and written communication skills. » Read more: Job Search Tips: There is no excuse for not selling yourself. Two areas in which you must succeed

Job Search Tips: 5 Tips On Ensuring You Stand Out From the Crowd When Job-hunting

January 18th, 2012

By Susanna Cha

In this economic climate, standing out from the crowd when job-hunting is the only sure fire way to success. It is important that your potential employer remembers you – for good reasons – and communication is key as there may be many jobs available but you need to ensure that you are the person whom recruiters call back.

Right from the very beginning, your CV needs to fit the role. That means setting it out to contain generic information that can be easily amended to target a particular company and job: check out their website before applying and use their tenets in your Personal Statement. Skills and experience are often more important than education: list them in that order on your CV and use your skills in Word or Excel to make your points. » Read more: Job Search Tips: 5 Tips On Ensuring You Stand Out From the Crowd When Job-hunting
