New Job Search Coaching Service Launched
New Job Search Coaching Service Launched
It all started long ago in 1984 after I graduated from the State University of New York. I came back to live at our family’s home in Oceanside, Long Island. At the time, there were no personal computers and there was no internet. During my years in college, we had typing rooms where we would go with our reams of typing paper and correction fluid. When I returned home with my degree, I had to find a job the hard way by “Pounding the Pavement”. I wanted to do what most people living in New York wanted to do: work on Wall Street. I walked the streets of Manhattan for 3 months, into and out of buildings, checking the names on the directory, taking the elevator up to the high floors, handing out a copy of my resume and then moving to the next building, and on and on. This continued 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, for 3 straight months. I didn’t have a college degree from a top school and I had a C+ average. But I had tenacity. I was determined. Between companies and employment agencies I went on about 99 interviews. No one would hire me. I once had an interview with a company on the 102nd floor of the World Trade Center. I didn’t get the job, but boy what a view. I had experience from 10 jobs before graduating from college, but obviously that didn’t matter to the employers I now wanted to work for.
In 2018 the methods of looking for a job have changed. Different technologies are integrated into the fabric of job searching. Your resume needs to immediately stand out from the competition. Not only does a recruiter or hiring manager need to find your resume, it needs to stand out from the competition. A hiring manager or recruiter spends an average of 8 seconds reviewing your resume. Will yours stand out or be immediately forgettable? You also need to be registered on all of the major job boards so you can be found, receive daily alerts for job openings and be able to quickly apply to new jobs and they are posted from your mobile devices
