“A good rule of thumb is if you’ve made it to thirty-five and your job still requires you to wear a name tag, you’ve made a serious vocational error.” – Dennis Miller I started interviewing college students for my company’s summer intern program this past week. It’s interesting to compare their resumes, what they’ve done during the [...] “Spring is nature’s way of saying, “Let’s party!“” – Robin Williams At some point your last Spring Break will be over (depressing, isn’t it?) and reality will set in. It is your Senior year, graduation is almost here (another semester is not an option so say the “folks”) and you don’t have a job yet. Now part [...] “When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.” – Mark Twain What’s that sound you hear? Ah yes, the sound of the seconds ticking [...] “Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat.” – Napoleon Hill Okay, so what is today’s quote all about? Simply put, don’t be discouraged in your job hunt. Not every lead ends in a job offer, in fact, the vast majority don’t pan out.

I didn’t [...] “If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.” – Yogi Berra You were hiking with your friends on a heavily forested trail when you somehow got separated. You weren’t really paying attention to where you were going because you weren’t in the lead, you were following. Now you are alone and [...] “The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win you’re still a rat.” – Lily Tomlin So everything I read lately says that, even when the economy starts to rebound (and many think it has already started), new job creation will lag. Now who am I to dispute that bit of wisdom? But while [...] “Running on – running on empty, Running on – running blind, Running on – running into the sun, But I’m running behind” – Jackson Browne Running on empty? The list of possibilities for job search leads is endless, and if yours is running on empty it’s time to fill up. Your biggest problem should be that you [...] “Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action.” – Benjamin Disraeli Action is the key word for this post (as well as your job search). It may seem like an endless job hunt with no end in sight, but there are many things you can do to help your search. Networks, you [...] |
