If you are a job seeker looking for a job close to home, you don’t want, or need, to flounder through job listings from all over creation.  

Great sentiment but the questions remain:

Where can you find local employers? 
How can you find your desired local job?

There are several options to find local jobs.

State Employment Sites: Many states operate electronic databases for job seekers and employers seeking workers, and some have online business directories. Sometimes they link to national resources, such as America’s Job Bank or US JOBS 411. Many states provide other valuable job search and career planning resources.  Check out the post Tools for Your Local Jobs Search: State Employment Websites, it presents links to sites for each state.

You’ve got the grades, the experience and the skills, but you still haven’t found a job. Jumpstart your job search by changing how you look for a job. It may be that you are approaching your job search in the wrong way. Competition is fierce in the job market, and you must rise above it to secure the job you want.

Interviewing

Researching the company and the job before you interview is perhaps the single most important thing you can do to help you get a job. When you demonstrate to interviewers that you care enough about the job to learn more about it, you stand out from many other candidates. Bring up topics you learned about in your research in your interview. For example, you might say, “I recently read in the ‘Wall Street Journal’ that this company has experienced phenomenal growth in the last few quarters. What do you think is the single most important factor contributing to this?” After the interviewer answers, relate how your skills and background can help the company further its growth. Always connect your experiences to the job requirements to show you are well-qualified for it.

Network

Online job boards are not the only way to find a job. “Networking” refers to finding job leads through your colleagues, acquaintances, friends and family members. Whenever you have the

When you are planning your job search, you need to approach it as though it is a marketing campaign. The recruiters are the buyers and you are the actual product. As a product, you have to clearly articulate your value proposition – essentially your advertisement. The rate of success for your job search lays in your ability to fine tune your value proposition. So what exactly is your value proposition? It is the unique benefit that you can offer a school district that matches their exact needs.

You may be thinking that all teachers basically perform the same duties and so how will you come up with unique talents that set you apart. The key to finding what separates you from the competition is discerning what you do best. Oftentimes, what you do naturally may be a struggle for others. So if you excel at classroom management, lesson planning, or individual tutoring, remember that many others might consider these areas their weaknesses. Once you discover your value proposition, you’ve unleashed your marketing advantage. 

A great way to uncover your biggest accomplishments and strengths is to use the C.A.R. (Challenge, Action, Result) method. By going through your accomplishments and discovering the challenges you faced, the actions you took to

Top 5 Tips for Handling References Professionally During Your Job Search

Do you wonder about how best to leverage and submit your references during your job search? Here are some tips to help you:

1. Never submit your references with the resume. You want to have a face-to-face meeting with the employer, or at the very least, a telephone interview, before providing references. The purpose of the resume, at least at this stage of the job search process, is to generate enough interest to get you called in for an interview. By listing references on your resume, you just give the recipient of your resume another opportunity to screen you out before you have a chance to sell yourself in person. Also, avoid the old and overused phrase “references provided on request.” It is taken for granted that you will provide references on request. There is no need to state on your resume that you will do so. Listing this on your resume just takes up valuable space that could be used for more important data.

2. Former or current direct supervisors make excellent references, but clients, your former employees, co-workers, and vendors you have interfaced with often make great references also. If you have people willing to endorse you whose names are recognizable in your industry or profession and who will

One of the things that frustrate people about job hunting most is that it takes so long to find the perfect opportunity. This job search lead time can vary widely, lasting for as little as a week to as long as two years or more. Because of this, it is very difficult to predict just how long it will take job seekers to find the jobs they want.


Some of the variables in lead time include: the type of jobs, the location, the economy of the area and the macro-economy, the individual, their experience level, and the skills they possess. Literally hundreds of other factors make lead time one of the biggest unknown quantities of a career change.


With the economy in its current state, there are job seekers of high quality that are trapped in a situation where the job search lead time can be long. It is so easy for employers to choose less experienced people when they can pay them much lower salaries than they would more qualified candidates. This is especially true when they do not have personal knowledge of any of the job candidates.

Job Search Advice From 4 Interviewers – Beat Your Competition!

]]>

Ronald Reagan once said: “A recession is when your friend loses their job. A depression is when you lose yours.”

We’re hovering on the edge of a recession and having well honed job hunting skills is something which is increasingly important for American and European workers.

Just out of interest – Americans get frantic about a possible recession when the unemployment rate goes over 5%. However, in many European countries, the normal unemployment rate is closer to 10% – this is largely due to different measurement standards and a higher percentage of people receiving government assistance. On the other hand, it is a lot harder to fire someone in most European countries.

Our first piece of job search advice is to examine your monthly income versus your expenses and also to look at the rate at which you will go through your savings if you become unemployed.

Obviously, the longer that you can afford to spend looking for a job before you burn through your saving, the better off you will be in the long run. While you look for work, you may be able to do freelance work, if this is applicable to your field. In fact, in some fields, such as

Create a Killer Resume: Your resume is what presents you to your employer. Your resume is as important as a profile for a company.
