There is an overwhelming amount of info out there and people are swamped. However, short pointers may be absorbed better. Each week, once or twice weekly, I will zero in on a specific area of job search, so my tips will encompass everything. A comprehensive offering will include one aspect of categories including cover letters, resumes, interviewing; effective networking and other issues that arise (references, thank you letters, Internet applications, and anything else pertinent).You’re taking your job search too personally. How not, you ask? You cling repeatedly to a notion that an employer will come along and “discover” your heart’s desire and understand what you need. It’s the wrong slant that keeps you unconsciously stuck doing the same tried-and-failed attempts to land a job. You don’t fulfill requirements or redo strategies, make changes, ferret out the Unknown. None of us wants to hear this but finding work by joining a big group is about fitting ourselves into a preconceived collective mold someone else came up with. The painful truth is that we have to work at finding a balance of how much of ourselves we want to sacrifice for what we like and hope to do for a living…day in and day out. That is the hardest job of all.
