Learn How To Job Search The Right Way

If you knew something wasn’t working, would you keep doing it, expecting the results to change? For most people the answer would be no, but for the majority of people looking for jobs, this is exactly what they are doing. They are submitting resumes in the same old fashion and getting no replies. They are attending job fairs and never getting any return calls. Stop this madness now and learn the new approach towards getting a job.

Don’t wait for the human resource department to give you a call. Don’t wait for that email response. Call them back after a day to see if they received your resume. Then schedule a time to call them back 4-5 business days later. Be persistence without sounding desperate.

Stop sending resumes without meeting with the humans behind the job postings. Have you ever been hired by computer? No! So this idea that you can send resumes all day and expect a job, is nonsense. The computer is useful for finding job openings but a human is who will hire you. Pick up the phone and talk to a human about a job.

Build your network of friends. There are jobs but you need to meet the people. Spend 2 hours a day inviting your network to get coffee. Keep what works and toss out the rest. Think of the job search as a job and aim for efficiency. Have more than one cover letter on hand. Create resumes with different themes and objectives. If you sent out 10 resumes, five with your website address and five without a website, and the five with your website received the most attention, then you should know what tactic is working. Eliminate the garbage from the previous days and work with the stuff that brought you closer to a human hiring you.

The human element of job searching might seem simple and basic but a lot of people still spend the majority of their day, wasting away on computer, without it getting them any closer to a job. It is time to get social with your job search. Use what works in finding a job and discard the rest.

Planning The Working Mom Balance

If you are a working mom it is extremely important that you plan the work life balance or else you will find that you will be spending all of your time working and your family life will most definitely suffer. What this really boils down to is that you must be prepared to say no at work. If your boss asks you to stay late to do some extra work you are going to be faced with a tricky situation but you have got to be prepared to stand up for yourself.

If you start agreeing to every request to work extra you will soon find yourself being expected to stay and in some cases without being asked. At the start of every week you should set out the times that you are going to work and the times that you are not even going to think about work and spend valuable time with the family.

An example could be that you will set aside every Saturday and Sunday as family time along with two evenings in the week. Once this has been decided it will establish boundaries both at home and at work and everyone will know where they stand. There is nothing worse than promising your children that you will be there for them only to turn around at the last minute and let them down.

At the same time your children will also have to respect the fact that they are not to disturb you during the hours you have set aside for work and if that means that you have to stay behind at work, then so be it.

A great idea when planning the working mom balance is to spend time with your children every morning if your schedule can fit it in, many people would say that you should make sure that your schedule can fit it in! Just 10 minutes lying on the bed talking to your children before the day gets under way can go on to have such a positive effect on their lives and 10 minutes is not so hard to fit in, is it?

You will soon realise that is the small things that you may not think are all that important that make all of the difference in your children’s life’s and it is those little things that you should really concentrate on.
