There Are No Jobs Out There

There Are No Jobs Out There Here in Florida, roughly 100,000 people will have their extended unemployment compensation benefits expire on November 30.   These are workers who had been given special extensions on unemployment because of the severity of the recession.   This means that their safety net (at its peak, around $300 per week in Florida) will end soon.   WorkSource career center staff hears hundreds of stories each week from people who are desperate to find work and are afraid that “there are no jobs out there.” There are people who have been looking for jobs for months â€" even years.   There are those with barriers to employment that make competing in the market challenging even during strong economic conditions: transportation barriers, health, criminal or credit history, or education or mastery of English language.   Assuming that one of these barriers isn’t the problem, what people often mean by “there are no jobs out there” is “I haven’t found the right job for me.” In my industry With my former pay / title / benefits In my preferred location During my preferred shift Many people are stuck in place by circumstances and trying to find a job that will make them whole, bring them back to where they were in their last position.   That, of course, should be the long-term plan.   But your short-term plan could be to find work to replace the safety net (unemployment compensation) income you are receiving.   The issues I raised above (location, salary, title, industry) are what are called objections when you’re trying to change behavior or make a sale.   They’re the “yes, buts” that salesmen get all the time.  One sales training site says, “Sometimes, an objection is really just thinking out loud. If you wait a moment, prospects might overcome their own objection.” To get past your own list of “yes, buts,” try an old sales technique.   Ask yourself what kind of work you’d look for or accept if that factor weren’t an issue.   Here’s a list of what ifs to get you started on thinking differently about your job. What kind of work would you look for or accept if salary wasn’t an issue? What if you were just seeking income to replace what you made in unemployment? What if you didn’t need to work full time? What if you were only planning to work for one year? What if you preferred working at night? Thinking about these things can help you break out of your pattern of thinking about work.   You might find that you are open to new possibilities.   You may find that there are jobs out there â€" in places you hadn’t thought to look.

Is it Possible to Get a Copy of My Resume?

Is it Possible to Get a Copy of My Resume?In the question, 'Is it possible to get a copy of my resume' I'm going to be answering your question by providing some important information to you. We'll discuss whether you can get a copy of your resume, the most common reasons that people ask about getting a copy of their resume, and how you can make your resume stand out from the rest.First of all, I wanted to clarify the fact that it is possible to get a copy of your resume. The only way to answer your question correctly is to understand exactly what it is that you want to do with the information contained in your resume. For example, if you're writing a resume for a job that requires experience and training, you'll need to choose one of the two formats that are typically offered for resumes that are requesting a copy of their resume. You can either have your resume typed or formatted for a computer or printed.Often, employers think that some form of formal education is necessary for an interview or job seekers that can't prove their education and experience is up to date. They want to make sure that the applicant for their position has the right credentials in order to provide them with a great hire.The most important thing to remember when asking someone to provide you with a copy of your resume is that you need to give it to them in a secured manner. Be very careful in your approach in this regard, especially in the areas of email or the web. Any communication that you have with the applicant that makes use of a secure form of electronic communications such as instant messaging or chat should be deleted after a certain period of time so that your information will not become public.It's also a good idea to make sure that the person asking you to provide you with a copy of your resume has the correct information before providing it to you. Make sure that they have all of the relevant pieces of information needed in order to provide you with your resume.You can als o provide the person asking you to supply you with a copy of your resume with all of the relevant skills on it so that they can make a decision about whether or not they want to give it to you. The more relevant your skills are to the person asking you for a copy of your resume, the better chance you have of convincing them to provide you with a copy of your resume.Of course, the person asking you to supply you with a copy of your resume has the best chance of obtaining a copy of your resume if they provide you with their contact information first. Provide them with a phone number or email address so that they can contact you with their resume at any time they choose. A short note of introduction is always appreciated as well.A final thought of advice, if the person asking you to supply you with a copy of your resume actually has a resume on hand, you might want to consider simply providing them with a letter of introduction that has a personal touch about it. No matter what you do, please make sure that you are taking the proper precautions in order to provide a copy of your resume without endangering your contact information or your resume.

Tailoring Your Personal Brand

Tailoring Your Personal Brand It is natural during the job search process to paint the best possible picture of your fit for a particular position. This is called personal branding. Personal branding is a necessary part of the job search process. You have to get noticed and you do so by demonstrating and pointing out your qualifications for a position. As a career counseling firm, we advise that you try and speak to all the requirements/skills listed on a job description. Heres the challenge most of us run into: the job we want to apply for is looking for many skills we either dont have or arent very strong in. How do you handle that? First, evaluate how many skills/qualifications you have. Is this list fairly substantial? Are they near the top of list of qualifications in the job description? If so, dont over analyze the skills that you arent strong in. It is important to lead with the skills you are strong in and how those uniquely qualify you for the position. Companies are often looking for someone to fill some gaps or play a complementary role on an existing team. Assume that your weak areas may already be covered by a team member and that your strengths are what they desperately need! For example, if youve been in sales and business development but want to apply for a field marketing job you probably dont have strong examples of field marketing experience. Thats okay. It is crucial that you are not deceptive about that. Instead demonstrate how your skills and experience qualify you for the job. The truth is you dont know how this new hire needs to fit into the organization. It could be that there are already a number of experienced field marketers who would benefit by having someone with sales experience on their team. Do some networking to see if thats the case. If so, then you know how to position yourself. Crafting your brand in this way will turn more heads than if you downplayed your sales background and tried to put forth sub-par field marketing experience. This is particularly true when it comes to hard or technical skills. You wouldnt tell a hiring manager that you can operate a crane when you really cant! In the same way, dont position yourself as an expert with a particular technology when you are much stronger at a different skill listed on the job description. Personal branding and demonstrating your fit with the position is key in your job search process. Play up your strengths and be ready to speak to the areas of weakness. Be ready to demonstrate why you are a strong candidate for the position and dont pretend to be something youre not.

Are You Brave Enough To Live The Life You Long For Most Arent. Heres Why - Kathy Caprino

Are You Brave Enough To Live The Life You Long For Most Arent. Heres Why I had an 18-year a corporate career, and on the outside it was very successful (I earned a lot of money, rose to the level of VP, managed large budgets and global initiatives, etc.), but on the inside, it was not successful. It was bumpy, challenging, and sometimes even harrowing.  Throughout that long chapter in my adult life, I couldn’t figure out what was really at the heart of my challenges, nor could I determine the best steps to take to free myself of the pain and unhappiness I experienced in the workplace. Finally, in the years following a crushing corporate layoff after 9/11, I did figure it out. I totally changed my life and career, and moved into the helping profession (therapy and coaching) which was so much better suited than corporate life to my core values, personality, talents and passions, and my desires for making an impact that meant something personally meaningful to me. And I became a researcher and writer on professional women’s challenges, and I loved it. In short, I  braved up  and finally began speaking up and honoring who I am inherently rather than trying to cram myself into a mold that never fit. After 11 years of doing this work and research, and working with thousands of professional men and women around the world, I stepped back to evaluate if there is  one core missing element  that’s at the heart of so many of these unsatisfying lives.  I re-examined all my research, and the assessments, surveys and quizzes I’ve developed and administered as well as hundreds of case studies of professional crisis in women (and men), to attempt to identify the one most basic issue underlying the majority of these challenges. It turns out there is one core factor undermining our happiness and success. My research revealed this:  Thousands upon thousands of people are simply not brave enough yet to honor their true selves. Women and men by the millions haven’t yet mustered the necessary courage, passion, confidence, commitment and perseverance to rise up, speak up and stand up boldly for themselves, and shift what needs to change in their lives and in the world around them. That doesn’t mean that I don’t see, experience or acknowledge the many societal, cultural and institutional influences and barriers that limit and constrain women today. I do. I’ve personally lived through gender discrimination, sexual harassment, toxic colleagues, being passed over for a promotion by a man 10 years my junior with no relevant experience, and being told I was the “B” word when I was doing exactly what my male colleagues were doing, and getting a promotion for it. And the list goes on and on. But my perspective now that I’m on the other side of that treatment and behavior, and in running my own business and calling the shots, is that all individuals who feel that they can’t create life as they want it need to rise up more bravely and boldly and take control of their lives. That is the only the pathway to shifting your life, and altering how society, culture and institutions treat individuals who are finding their pathway to success, reward and impact blocked. What are the top three areas we need to muster more bravery today? In my recent TEDx talk for  TEDx Centennial Park Women, I share my take on why it’s time to brave up, and how specifically to do it. The three most critical ways we need to brave up to be happier and more fulfilled are: #1: See yourself as you truly are â€" amazing, talented, gifted and important to the world. I’ve reviewed hundreds upon hundreds of responses to my Career Path Self-Assessment â€" a survey I created with questions I wished someone had asked me 30 years ago. The most pivotal questions are “How are you special? How do you stand out in the world that makes you different?” (Heres a link to the survey dont make a move without taking it.) Over 90% of the women who take this survey cannot answer this question. They either leave it blank or offer very vague descriptors.  They don’t see about themselves as I see them â€" extremely gifted, brilliant, talented, accomplished, important and necessary in the world. The problem is, if you don’t see your amazing gifts, then you can’t act on them, and you waste them.  Now’s the time to understand exactly how you’re talented, gifted and deeply valuable in the world, and start doing something important with your special talents. So, do you know how you’re special, talented, and vital to this world? #2: Speak up bravely and share the real truth of what you think, feel and believe. Research study after research study has revealed that women are  viewed significantly more negatively  than men when perceived as forceful or “assertive.” Our society just isn’t comfortable yet with passionate, authoritative and confident women who don’t hold back. Hundreds of women have shared with me personally that they’ve been penalized at work and at home, for being assertive and bold, and standing up for what they believe. What’s the answer? Don’t hold back.  Period. The time for that has passed. Clearly,  the world needs millions more examples of powerful, authoritative and confident women,  and each of us needs to be a role model. But research also reveals there are two critical ways both men and can speak more forcefully yet mitigate and lessen the negative backlash. First, the fascinating research done by  David Maxfield and Joseph Grenny  on gender bias reveals that, if you offer a “framing statement that is grounded in a core value prior to making a forceful comment that may anger people, you’ll mitigate the backlash. The value statement helps listeners hear you in a different way, and allows them to understand your intent more deeply. Here’s an example: If you’re participating in a board meeting and don’t like the direction the group is suggesting taking the company, you can say, “I believe fully in honesty and integrity, so it’s really important for me to share honestly what I think here. I’m just not on board with the direction we’re discussing, and here’s why.” Secondly, it’s critical to say what you need to say but with care, compassion and empathy in your heart, showing respect for all people and all ideas.  You can vehemently disagree with an idea, but it’s critical to hold compassion in your heart for the individual sharing the idea. When you analyze the words and language of some of history’s most memorable and inspiring leaders (for instance, Mother Theresa, Eleanor Roosevelt, Lincoln, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King) you’ll hear language that uplifts, inspires, enlivens, and presents a compelling vision of a better world for all, and a world that represents a higher version of us all. These amazing leaders don’t condemn, tear down, ridicule, or demean with hate or condemnation. They uplift. To be assertive and compelling â€" to be a true visionary leader â€" avoid all hate and divisive language.  Stay far way from sharing critical, biting, disrespectful and demeaning messages. I’ve found that anything can be said when it’s said with the utmost respect, empathy, care and compassion for all human beings. #3: Leverage the fantastic talents you possess, and do it in service of others. Finally, the third way we need to brave up more powerfully to live happier, more rewarding lives is to “shine” bravely. By that I mean, Stop hiding your light.  Let it out and let it shine. Identify those core talents you possess that come easily to you and   that you love to use, and bring them forward in exciting ways. (And don’t focus on skills you struggle to use; leverage those that are a joy.) One key to this is focusing on leverage your talents to be of help and service to others. When you do that, life becomes more rewarding and joyful.    Don’t let money, age, time, education, or any other excuse stand in your way.  You have only one life to live on this planet and this time, and if you waste it, it’s gone forever and you’ll end up with painful regrets. (Read more about the  top five  regrets  of midlife professionals.) The one mistake I see professionals make over and over is believing two damaging myths: •  That they have to struggle incredibly hard and work themselves to the bone every day to be “successful.” (If it’s too easy, they feel it’s not success.) •  That they’ll need a total reinvention to be happy. They’ve come to believe that they have to throw the entire baby out with the bathwater, and change everything in their careers to be happy. It’s simply not true. What’s required is simply taking one small but bold step every single day  â€" the step of acknowledging your core talents that you love to use, and finding new ways to use them. When you do that â€" commit to exploring new ways to use yourself in service â€" you’ll begin to find new pathways to more exciting work, or you’ll start using your talents in new ways as a hobby or volunteer experience that enriches your life. Either way, you’ll find that shining bravely means you’re finally honoring exactly who you are, and pursuing your highest potential rather than thwarting yourself at every turn trying to be something you’re not. If you want to write, write.  If you want to be an artist, take a class and hone your skills. If you want to sing, find a local group and start singing.  If you want to learn more about becoming a coach, interview five coaches. Stop making excuses, and start finding ways to do the work you long to. When you take these steps, and call up the bravery you need to honor who you are, your life will radically transform and you’ll finally experience the success and happiness you’ve been deeply longing for.  To call up the bravery you need to build a happier, more rewarding life,  watch my TEDx talk, work with me, and take my  Amazing Career Project  training.
