Stop Your Job Search Until 2010 ? Dumb Move

February 19th, 2012 Admin

I get this all the time from candidates I’m working with in our job search coaching program. It usually starts with, “The holidays are  here and nobody is hiring during this period.” or “Why look now? I will wait until the new year. It is time for a break.”

As succinctly as my mild manner can put it, DUMB MOVE. Sorry to yell, but that is what this attitude is. So let’s call it dumb.

In almost 30 years in the search business I have weathered 4 recessions, including this one. In every recession, including this one, I have active searches underway. I have filled many searches and started many searches during the holiday season. You don’t want to be left behind. For example, I will be starting a VP of Sales search today. Do you think I will wait until the new year to start the search process? NO WAY. I will be actively sourcing, interviewing and presenting candidates to my client as quickly as I can find them.

If you put  your search on hold until 2010 I will probably not find you, not consider you, and by the time you reactivate your job search, I’ll already have candidates going through the hiring process. That means only one thing for you, you are probably going to end up in the backup group of candidates.

Job Search For College Graduates

February 17th, 2012 Admin

A job search for college graduates in these days can be tough, but what is the 1 most overlooked and underestimated business in the business marketplace? It is the network marketing business. But like every other industry, the network marketing business definitely has its fair share of HYPE. If you can understand this business in a clear way, push via all of the THOUSANDS of folks and firms claiming to make you an instant residual check and really comprehend which attributes to look for in a MLM business, then you can obtain enormous wealth in this business by working tough, knowing which company fundamentals to practice, and understanding who to IGNORE.

The first aspect to look at is the type of product being sold, regardless of whether it is a high-ticket item or a low-ticket item. Where much of the hype comes from originates from MLM companies that promise fast and effortless residual income via selling low-ticket items. Low-ticket items are items that don’t cost much dollars to acquire, which result in a low commission for the MLM owner who sells them. The owner ends up having to sell MASS volumes of these goods just to make a substantial monthly check. If you can keep away from these sorts of firms that sell low-ticket items then you will be saving yourself a lot headache and time and energy. We all have the exact same number of hours in a day, why not invest your time selling higher-ticket items and making a a lot larger commission (-,000) on every sale?
