A Handshake Away!

Over the past few months you have submitted literally hundreds of resumes, but have nothing but frustration to show for your efforts. You feel like giving up! Please DON’T!

You may only be a few clicks or a few handshakes away from your next job. Approximately 8-10% of American workers have given up looking for jobs and you know what? They have not found one.

Here are just a few quick tips:

• Revisit your plan - Stop doing the things that do not get you the results you are looking for.
• Set goals and track your progress. www.jibberjobber.com is a great way to track your search.
• Market your value. Start a website, blog, ask and answer questions on LinkedIn.
• Strengthen your network. This is the “hidden job market.”
• Stay positive! This is more important than anything you can do in your job search.

As you continue your job search it is important to remember that everyone you meet could potentially hold the key to your next job.  Be ready, you may be a handshake away!
