Comment Of The Day: "Have I Reached My Expiration Date"

noreply@blogger.com (oceanflash08) — Sat, 02 Jun 2012 00:22:00 PDT

Why Mature Workers Make for Better Employees. By: Ronald Zeka Workforce Skills Trainer at Phoenix Indian Center This is the age of downsizing and corporate cost cutting. If you’ve found yourself out the door in favor of younger and lower-paid employees, you may be asking yourself, “Have I reached my expiration date? Is this the beginning of the end?” While you may not be able to convince the over-50 job seekers who have taken positions well below their competency and former compensation levels, at least one expert in the human relations field doesn’t believe age is that big a factor… if you’re prepared. Companies are waking up to the fact that younger workers are more apt to jump from company to company...

5 Steps To Build A Positive Personal Brand On Facebook

noreply@blogger.com (oceanflash08) — Thu, 31 May 2012 06:36:00 PDT

5 Steps To Build A Positive Personal Brand On Facebook Unless you’ve been living under a rock, it’s no mystery that social media is on the rise. Social media has become more than just a pastime for teenagers and college students, and it’s now more important than ever to get in the mix of viewing and sharing user-generated content. In 2011, major social networking platforms (i.e., Facebook, Twitter, and Google+) saw a growth of 86% new users. 2012 won’t be seeing the same growth rate, but instead there will be an increase in user engagement.

10 Steps for Online Career and Job Networking

noreply@blogger.com (Trip Steilen) — Thu, 31 May 2012 06:01:00 PDT

Let’s start with the big question. Why? What is the point of doing online networking for your career? How is it any better than simply keeping in touch with people you know via email or at meetings? Isn’t stuff like LinkedIn or Facebook a waste of time, or at least not worth the time you invest in it? Online networking tools serve two purposes, really. First, they make it easy for people to find you – or at least find the information about you that you want to be found. Once you set up a proper profile at a social networking site, it’s often the first thing that shows up about you on search engines. Thus, when people go searching for information about you, you can have a lot of control over...

Researching a Prospective Employer - How To Do It Effectively.

noreply@blogger.com (Sari Lawson) — Thu, 31 May 2012 05:03:00 PDT

Researching a prospective employer is an often missed step when applying for work. It easy to get excited when you find a dream career and the perfect job. But not digging deep into an employer’s current situation and past reputation can prove to be a costly mistake. You bet your bottom dollar that employers are checking your references, online profile, digital dirt, and credentials before extending an offer. You would be mistaken to not do the same with any prospective hiring organization. So before you rev-up your resume and complete your cover letter, let’s take a closer look at why you should research employers, what to look for, and how to sleuth like Sherlock.

Bored With Your Job? Get Out Of Your Rut.

What is the Velvet Rut? The ‘Velvet Rut’ is where you find yourself in an unfulfilling job in which you are not learning anything new, not using the full extent of your skills and are just bored stiff. You probably disconnected several months ago and are now just going through the motions. The work is no longer stretching.

The difference between the ‘Velvet Rut’ and any normal rut, is that the pay and benefits are very good. You couldn’t get the same...

10 Tricks To Use LinkedIn As A Recruiting Tool:Recruiters

LinkedIn has become a major tool of choice in the recruitment trade.

Here is my short list of tips on how to use LinkedIn for recruiting: 1.
