I was recently working for a company that went into administration and it was the norm. Don't forget to put number one first.TASShttp://asxstockselector.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38606399.post-645698181039944092010-08-22T17:51:34.169-07:002010-08-22T17:51:34.169-07:00Shadox - did you ever get that job search techniqu...Shadox - did you ever get that job search techniques email that I sent you back in December 2009 when you asked for guest posts?

Hiring managers get dozens if not hundreds of resumes - the vast majority of them without any fit for the position at all. <br /><br />In that kind of an environment, the chance for your resume to even get noticed is tiny. Getting an introduction to the hiring manager, at the very least, will get your resume read.<br /><br />From that point on, with a strong endorsement from the person who introduced you, you should be able to get an interview (if you are qualified). Then, it's all up to you.Shadoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11742366461186295248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38606399.post-6520221803079203252010-08-18T18:50:00.317-07:002010-08-18T18:50:00.317-07:00Just discovered your blog, I like the layout.
Any...Just discovered your blog, I like the layout.<br /><br />Anyhow, I was in a situation where I was a part of a sudden and unexpected layoff, and had to go through many of the same methods. While I found a new job through an online posting, I think it's a great idea focus time on networking. Often, in a tough economy such as this, it's who you know that can be the differentiator in deciding who gets the job offer among a group of qualified candidates.<br /><br />Having been a position of looking in the past, I strongly suggest networking. While you may not know someone who will hire you right away, you may know someone who might have a contact that's looking for someone. Even otherwise, you could learn a lot from the process.Squirrelershttp://www.squirrelers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38606399.post-83320560998603330782010-08-18T04:53:00.084-07:002010-08-18T04:53:00.084-07:00Great work getting ahead of the game, many people ...Great work getting ahead of the game, many people would probably just stick their heads in the sand and hope for the best. It's good that you're facing reality head on.<br /><br />I think the 'war board' is a great idea. When I was job hunting a few years ago, keeping track of all my leads, contacts, conversations, emails, and everything else was great in terms of keeping organized.Money Beaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00699259132970415120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38606399.post-37873622372126030712010-08-17T13:55:24.170-07:002010-08-17T13:55:24.170-07:00Look into the solar energy companies....

My confidence comes from the fact that I have never told anyone about it.<br /><br />If somehow my identity is exposed, I think the damage caused by this post would be minimal. After all - I would have to be pretty insane to just wait for the company to end without starting to plan for the day after. People know and expect that. That's not to say that I should be walking the halls with a microphone announcing to the world that I am job hunting.<br /><br />If the company continues to do business, I hope to be with it. Anyone that would want me to stay, would need to convince me that there is a meaningful future for me there.Shadoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11742366461186295248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38606399.post-76369621663360032572010-08-14T18:22:13.703-07:002010-08-14T18:22:13.703-07:00Exciting!

You're a fighter, so things will turn around.
