You are right, we need to get out there and talk to people. Do you think the President got on a computer to look up a website, he acted.. You can lose weight if you don’t move. Movement is a necessity. Standing out with resumes is very difficult now, because there are so many rules and talking to someone ahead of time can disqualify you from a job.

Strategy and marketing is key these days. I learned the hard way via an extended unemployment to realize that trolling employment sites wasn't my only option. Targeted mailings is definitely a favorite strategy of mine. I couldn’t agree more.

There are many avenues that get in the way for us being proactive in statements to find a position. First of all, we need to be positive and want to learn, then we can gather information, be creative, and create opportunities. What is the market's need. Where do we find it and how do we move through it.

The job market is making it black and white, if you don't have it in black and white, they don't look at you. How do you get around this??? We need to advertise our skills together, provide feedback, and be team players before we apply for jobs. Many of our counselors give you more information that doesn't fit. You have to act to be noticed. Sitting at home will not make this happen. I like your ideas.. please continue to connect with us. There has to be an action in order to obtain a position.

I've lost track of the job seekers who tell me they've been busy looking for a job, spending 4-6 hours a day trolling the employment web sites. They think they're being productive. When they ask why their job searches are dragging on for months, I say, "You're confusing activity with productivity." By following the hordes of people chasing after advertised job leads online, which are only 15-25% of the job market in my experience, you're never going to stand out. Far better to meet and talk to 6 new people in the flesh each day than spend 6 hours pounding a computer keyboard zapping out resumes. Kevin Donlin TheSimpleJobSearch.com Exactly right.
