“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like hard work.” - Thomas EdisonThe key to being successful as a job seeker often times comes down to our ability to recognize change. Plain and simple…CHANGE…embrace it, anticipate it, and most importantly– benefit from it. Understanding change,requires a better understanding of the “hidden job market”.What is the “Hidden Job Market”? Quite simply, the hidden job market is the market of jobs that are open, yet…See More

Do you Job Search like Bill Buckner?

Are you Bill Buckner?Ok…I admit it. I am a huge baseball guy. You may even call me a baseball geek. It’s early February and I’m already wondering how close we are to having pitchers and catchers report to MLB training camp. (Seven days or so in case you are wondering).This time of year, my mind always wanders in two distinct directions. First, what is my team going to do this year to shore up their pitching and power hitting deficiency? Second, I can’t help but go back to the best Fall Classic…See More

Trevor Smith commented on Alasdair Murray's blog post 'Want to write better job posts in 2010? Here's how.'

Excellent points. I really enjoy a well though out approach to something most recruiters find "un-satisfying" or just avoid all together....writing excellent job descriptions/ads. Loved the "And Finally" section. Thanks for the…

Trevor Smith commented on JC Simon's blog post 'Pre-Interview - Easy but important research tips'

$100 for a haircut? Wow...maybe that's what I've been doing wrong! :) Great points to share with all of my candidates. Thanks for the excellent post. I particularly like the point about getting to know the gate-keeper. When I worked for a…

Are you out of your mind-set?

So Happy Holidays to everyone. While typically I like to discuss hiring tips and techniques directed more towards hiring managers than job seekers, I’d like to go a little different route this month, and focus these remarks towards job seekers. Let’s face it, at some time or another….we are all job seekers.Most people have been affected in some way by the economy. Either you’ve lost your job, lost a portion of your income, made a change to a new career, or at least know someone that has. I’d…See More

Everybody Loves....interviewing!?

Everybody Loves…..interviewing.Okay, let’s hear it from those of us who love to interview candidates or be interviewed for jobs……(crickets chirping)……The reality for most people is that whether you are a job seeker or a hiring manager, you probably don’t like to interview. Yes, I’m referring to both being interviewed and conducting interviews!Why is that? Why do such communicative, cordial, outgoing, even loquacious (yes I’ve been on Thesaurus.com…..really) people not relish the idea of having…See More
