Thou Shall Not Slander by Alexandra Levit - Jan, 2010 In the last few months, I have spotted no fewer than three examples of one person in our social networking community slandering another person in our social networking community. I use the word slander, although technically it's more like libel because the articles are written by bloggers who are read by thousands. I am not going to tell you who they are because A) I will not stoop to their level and B) that would send even ... |

Making A Fresh Start by Nan S. Russell - Jan, 2010 "How could that be?" I muttered silently as I reread the message. This was not a person I wanted to encounter as I returned from a holiday vacation filled with family, friends, and fun. And yet, there he was on my calendar. My first meeting of the New Year was scheduled with my nemesis. I wish I could tell you it was a good meeting, but it wasn't. I got exactly the difficult, irritating, frustrating event I expected. Now ye... |

How Many Pages Should My Résumé Be? by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Jan, 2010 This has to be one of the most common questions we hear as professional résumé writers. My answer to our clients is that one size does not fit all. Traditionally, résumés are one, two and three pages.

It's entirely possible that your methods aren't keeping pace with the times. Despite an abundance of great job-hunting advice, many candidates cling to outdated job search and resume writing practices that negatively impact their success. If you’ve continued to send resumes to “Dear Sir or Madam,” or updated the same old resume since 2000, you’ll find that these methods ha... |

Search For Jobs By Identifying A Company by Miriam Salpeter - Jan, 2010 One piece of advice I share with all of my clients – don’t look for a job, look for a company. If you are looking only specifically for a job (focusing only on job boards or posted listings), you are missing out on potential opportunities that are never advertised. Seeking an organization and broadening your target will help you be more competitive in this environment. Some recent research from the Michigan State University... |

Three Reasons Job Seekers Will Have to ‘Hit the Gym’ in 2010 by J.T. O'Donnell - Jan, 2010 We recently asked CAREEREALISM readers how long it’s going to take to find a job in 2010. The majority of you (45%) said you expect it to take 3-5 months to find work. But honestly, current economic indicators suggest it will be even longer. With 6 job seekers to every job opening and unemployment expected to hover near 10% for most of 2010, the harsh reality is only the truly committed job seekers will find work. Similar to l... |
