on careful and thorough understanding of clients’ needs.

skills besides mastering the job search. For example, learn how to network
better. Take a course on public speaking. Develop and practice your “elevator
speech.”
Jobs Online

sites to post your resume. That way companies that are looking will have access
to your resume. Once a resume is scanned and logged into their database, the
recruiter can set up searches that will compare your skill set with any opening
they may have.

Do you want to change jobs but you don’t know where to start? Employment
agencies can help. Not all agencies are state run “unemployment” agencies. Even
if you’re still employed, you can get a lot out of these state agencies. Many
job agencies focus on specific niche markets or focus on higher paying executive
positions nationwide. Chances are there is an employment agency out there that
can help you land your next job.

education and your resume based on the information provided in career lists.

run on a schedule you set in your profile. Then if any jobs match your job

opportunities that meet your search criteria.

you’re company’s growth has stagnated. Maybe they have a different culture that
requires you to work longer before they would consider you for career
advancement.

out that it’s already been filled? Don’t you hate when that happens? But this

tools to help keep you informed about the latest job openings that are right for

you go on, the more career opportunities you get. Use job search sites like
Career Builder to help you find job opportunities.
Freelance Writing
When you first start out, do what ever you need to do to come up with your first
three clients. Don’t fall for the myth that beginner writers must write for free
to build their portfolio. That’s not true. There are plenty of paying markets
out there, albeit they might be low paying, but still, better to get paid
something than it is to write for free.
Career Change
Consider distance learning as a means for you to go back to school while you
continue working. Update your resume to make it look right for your target
career employers. Prepare for tough interview questions.

earning potential. How? Statistics show that people’s starting salaries affect
how much they’ll earn over the years.
Employment Search

what you do or what you want to do in less than a minute. This is the infamous
“elevator speech.” People laugh at it, but trust me, they laugh harder when you
don’t employ one.

may be something different, you probably still do a lot of
writing for work. Effective writing for work
is very different that writing for personal correspondence.

Editing
Is freelance editing in your future? Are you the go-to person whenever your
boss needs to have any documents edited before they go out? Secretly (or not so
secretly) does it bother you when you see “its” and “it’s” used incorrectly?
Many people work as editors part-time at home.
Job Openings
You set up a job agent much like you set up your manual search parameters when
you do a manual search on Career Builder. But then you save the search with a
name and you tell Career Builder how often to run the search for you. Now you
can have job alerts notify you as soon as a job opening that looks perfect for
you opens up.
Changing Careers
Career change interview fact #2: You’re a seasoned professional who has been out
in the work force for some time now. You’re not a young college graduate without
any knowledge of the “real” world. You have many cross-over skills and
experience that can apply to your new career.
Career Help
Getting career help is easy with the internet. With the internet, you can
find general career information, help with your resume, with networking, and
even help with preparing for your interviews.
Career Goals
Other than education and experience, networking will be the easiest way to get
on your career track of choice, which means the teachers from wherever you
graduated from, or even introducing your self directly from someone successfully
fulfilling your career goal; research conferences and local interest groups.
Know the
Difference Between a Job and a Career
Evaluate where you’d rather be, career wise, and then figure out what you need
to do to get there. Take the first step and keep moving yourself in that
position.
Career Outlook
Going back to school helps you stand out in an interview. The fact that most
people get couch-potato complacent and don’t go back to school speaks volumes
about your self-motivation and your work ethics. Interviewers like that. Going
back to school is good for your career.
