Stories of a jobseeker vol. 3: Learn something

There's not much positive you can take from a job search, especially one that goes on for an extended period of time. It's often an endless roller coaster ride of emotions and highs and lows. More often than not, the lows linger if you let them. Your time is most often spent searching for and applying to multiple jobs per day, following…See More

"Yes, you are correct Marc.  It does go both ways.  I often see people on the interview team not read a resume until it is their turn, or as they are walking to the interview (or not at all).  Often the interview team is not on the…"

"Thanks for the continued comments. I didn't intend to cause a discussion about the reasons for extended unemployment or the issue of candidates being unprepared for interviews, although a healthy debate is always good. I merely meant to give a…"

"Amy, what you describe is pretty bad. But here's one that tops it: the India Body Shop (corp to corp) model of contract staffing. Basically, they abuse the H1B worker visa system by swapping around "benched Hibs" in the hidden market.…"

"HI Randall, happy to agree to disagree ;) You do have a point but like so many things, it's entirely subjective based on everyone's personal situation / experience.   I worked for the Washington State Employment Security Department at…"

"And to add something else.  I have in fact seen good interviewers get the job and turn out to be "not so good" employees and I believe that people have interviewed poorly and not gotten the job just because of that reason.  Where…"

"There is also the fact that people are forgetting how to interview.  As a Corporate Recruiter, I cannot (will not/do not)  prep my candidates.  I want to see how they prepare for the interview.  I find so many come to interviews…"

"Amy: I'll acknowledge the logic of your point. But, I think we have to agree to disagree. You describe the ideal world. In the real world, people get tracked to a life of temping. And, as they get older, they are one illness (themselves or a…"

"Thanks Helen. Learning a little about code and a lot about doing decent mockups and user journeys has been, if nothing else, quite fun. And let's face it, anyone who spends most of their days combing through job ads deserves to have a but of…"

"Marc, good article. Randall, I'm afraid I have to disagree with your third point. The "normal" human being that would want to take a 6 week to 3 month job is the one that wants to take advantage of what is essentially a paid working…"

Randall Scasny commented on Marc Mapes's blog post 'Stories of a jobseeker vol. 3: Learn something'
"While I will not dispute the gist of your post that one of the causes of a difficult, extended job search campaign is a lack of competitive job skills that make the job seeker uncompetitive in a field of viable candidates. But, frankly, I've…"

"Great reminder of how you can turn down time into learning time. Not only when job seeking but I like to do learn new things in my downtime in order to boost my abilities within my current job.  Side note, I can also endorse Code Academy and…"
