You applied for a job.  You got an interview.  Congratulations! You spend hours preparing your answers to typical and difficult questions so you feel confident, ready and raring to go.

If you are job hunting you need to re-connect with everyone you know and expand your network – get yourself in front of the right people in the right industries to get into the companies on your job target list.

A pitch is your commercial or advertisement about you. It states in 30 seconds to no more than 2 minutes who you are, your best skills, an accomplishment and what is your job target.

Everyone knows there is ageism.  Whether blatant or subtle, it exists.  You could be in your 50’s or 60’s and get laid off because they want to hire a younger person for much less money.  You could be in your 70’s and still want to work

Do you have an objective on the top of your resume?  If so, that is old school.  No one knows what you are aiming for with a long objective. It usually sounds expansive and full of generalities with no distinct job title.

Happy New Year!  Are you ready to turn over a new leaf? Or try a new job search strategy to et your next job?  Remember, if you keep doing the same thing – don’t expect different results.

You’ve been at your job for a while now, whether that means one year, two years, 5 or even 10 years.  You feel you are stagnating.  How do you spot the signs that it is time for a change…before you either are fired, or, you quit in frustration?
