Acing the Interview
February 6th, 2009 by The ECI Team
Yesterday I discussed some ideas for getting yourself noticed within the job search process. Hopefully, your approach to job hunting has been expanded a bit so that you are looking at some opportunities you might not have thought about before. Getting a new job is a job in itself. Be sure to devote six to eight hours a day toward this activity. Realistically, this is the only way you will be successful in any reasonable amount of time. A lot of folks I talk to feel that if they send out 50 resumes a week and look on line a couple days, then that will be sufficient to get them hired. I don’t believe that will do it these days.

Advice for Job Seekers

Tough times out there for job hunters and I am more than sympathetic. Ted told me yesterday that the economy is really driven on consumer purchasing. When people are not afraid, they spend, whether they have the money or not. This is because they believe that tomorrow will be a better day. Today, most people are wondering about that one and many are worried that things will be so different that they won’t be able to survive.
As a caveat, I personally believe that the US government should allow people to collect a paycheck in a job and augment that with partial unemployment payments to yield a higher, livable wage, to encourage people to get working again. Most of the entrepreneurs in the job market have taken a couple of part-time or full time minimum wage jobs to yield the same results. To my mind, I would rather see 2 people working, rather than one person trying to make ends meet by working a 16-hour day. Read more…
