Who do you tell that you’re looking for a job? The answer to this question is pretty simple. Everyone! There was a time when being out of work was looked down upon. In previous posts I’ve emphasized the fact that unless you were fired from your last job for gross misconduct, being out of work is not your fault. There may still be a few people around who look down on you for being out of work, but they’re out of touch with what’s really going on in the job …

God is sovereign over our situations.  Any trial I undergo is not the result of his forsaking me; rather, he is preparing me for something greater that I may not even be able to imagine.  It’s very easy for us to get caught up in the temporal, material aspects of our existence.  To focus on our circumstances and wonder why God doesn’t fix them does a disservice to all the martyrs who have undergone far worse.  And I’m not just talking about the martyrs of old.  Thousands suffer and die …

EXPANDING YOUR HORIZONS DURING YOUR JOB SEARCH
If you are expending the kind of time in your job search that you should be then you probably find yourself saying, “Looking for a new position is hard work and it requires consistent dedication even in the face of uncertainty and doubt.”
I am actively searching for my next training and development opportunity in the Dallas/Forth Worth area but also doing other things to stay current and motivated during my search.
A few items for consideration during your search:
- Find a low cost way to …

Whether you’ve just lost your job, or you’ve been searching for several months, the first thing to remember is that you’re not alone. Don’t get the idea that there’s anything wrong with you or that you could have done something differently. Unless you were fired for gross misconduct, the situation you are in is not your fault. You’ve been riffed, down-sized, right-sized or just plain laid-off as a result of what is shaping up to be the greatest economic restructuring of western society in 70 years. Millions of people are …

As you continue your journey on the road of unemployment, you should think about differentiation. There are many talented people out in the job market right now, and you have to find ways to demonstrate how your individual contribution will make a positive difference to your next employer. Education and certification can help make that difference.
In many cases, however, education and certification isn’t just a matter of differentiation, it’s a matter of necessity just to get a seat at the table, or in this case, a place in the stack. …

You have a work history. It has given you the experience to develop expertise. That expertise is specific to you, because of who you are. If you write a résumé that lists only your duties and responsibilities, you’re short-changing yourself. Yet that is exactly what most of us do when we sit down to write our résumés. I did, and I’ve seen dozens of other résumés that look a lot like my old résumé. The thing you’ve got to take hold of is that the duties and responsibilities do not …
