The JOBFACE. Taking Our Country Back With Our Job Community Website.
January 23, 2010 theJOBface: Taking our country back with our job networking community! by Anthony D’Alessandro With continued double-digit unemployment, unprecedented mortgage foreclosures, unsettled health care legislation, government takeovers of the private sector, as well as our lives, it is time for us to take back our country. Consider this quote from Thomas Jefferson. “The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not”. -Thomas Jefferson How many of us feel this way. Is there anything that can attack the human spirit as viciously as to finding ourselves suddenly being unemployed. To further rub salt in the wound, we have indeed been giving to those who are not willing to work! Are we not the same people who have been the engines driving the economy all along. We were not founded by people who embraced the notion of extensive government intervention or espoused subsistence. Like our Founding Fathers you and I believe in freedom, taking pride in our work, and living out the true American dream. For all of you entrepreneurs, I welcome you to a website community which is truly a site of the people, for the people, and by the people. The JOBFACE is our site!
5 Tips To Getting Hired In A RecessionBy: Kevin Kennedy The Wall Street Journal article, Only the Employed Need Apply, says that unemployment is a 9.4% (I think it is closer to 20% based on the number that I have been reading) and it is a buyers market for employers that are hiring and employers are only looking to higher those who are currently working. There is a perception that if you are still employed in today’s economic climate, you are “strong performer” or on the “A team” or have significant value. Employers would rather fill openings with candidates who are working elsewhere.A lot of what the article says is true, however, I know, through our organization and through all of the networking and connecting that I do, there are a lot of very talented people out there that are not currently working through no fault of their own. They ARE top performers. They ARE the “A Team” and were either down-sized, or their divisions were eliminated or their employer went out of business.I have worked with loads of people prepping them for their next interview and have had great success and my advice to them is always - If you want to land the job that you are looking for and are currently unemployed, you had better have a very compelling story as to why you are unemployed and looking for a job. Here are 5 tips to getting hired in a recession
Your anecdotes need to tell a story about you. Highlight something about your experience, be relevant to the opportunity and you have to be able to tie them into how you will impact the bottom line for your potential employer’s company. Just remember, the person hiring or recruiting wants YOU to be the successful candidate…the recruiting and the hiring process is expensive in both time and money…they can stop looking for candidates if you are the right fit.
