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).Although currently there is at least one bill introduced in Congress that would make it unlawful for employers to reject applicants due to personal debt and poor credit rating, there is something you can do now. The government will provide insurance to an employer who would hire you for a period of six months, renewable by the employer thereafter for a nominal fee. It is called bonding. Bonding is a popular service for ex-offenders upon receiving a job offer but bonding is also applicable to those suffering substance abuse disease and public assistance recipients. Inform your strong, prospective employer before you begin a new job. Check with the NYS Labor Dept. for more information.
