To see how you can do this, read this article so you can land a job". Phone interviews are frequently used by companies to save time by pre-qualifying your interest and expertise.

10 Tricks To Use LinkedIn As A Recruiting Tool:Recruiters

noreply@blogger.com (Sari Lawson) — Sat, 26 May 2012 00:15:00 PDT

LinkedIn has become a major tool of choice in the recruitment trade. It has made some recent changes that have me questioning its future, but I still can’t deny how useful the site is for recruiters and networkers alike. Here is my short list of tips on how to use LinkedIn for recruiting: 1. Accept ALL invitations to connect - There are arguments for and against this and quality vs. quantity, but as a recruiter, the true value of your network is measured by its size – bigger IS better. You never know when that invitation is going to connect you to that very private Sr. Executive that no one else is connected to. 2. Invite everyone to connect - Growing your network takes a lot of work and commitment. Make it a point to add 10 new...

Boomer: Are You Part Of The Spend and Borrow Generation?

Top 10 Tips For Personal Branding Online As A Boomer Or Xgen

noreply@blogger.com (Trip Steilen) — Wed, 23 May 2012 08:48:00 PDT

The whole concept of a personal brand is relatively new, although their have always been individuals who have understood the power of a “personal brand” Churchill, John Harvey-Jones and Richard Branson to name a few. But it has been the growth of the internet as a tool which then gave rise to blogging and the growth of the social and business networks as a tool to raise/build one’s profile, that has propelled the concept/need to think about you as a brand. But as with all things new the perception and definitions of “personal branding” differs with each “expert” you ask and there are definite misconceptions. So having trawled the web for a good definition I found this one to share with you; "Personal Branding links your passions, key...

The End Of The American (Global) Dream Of The Middle Class?

Is it really the end of the American (Global) Dream? (Or for that matter: Greece, UK,Italy, Ireland,Australia, etc). After World War II our parents had expectations that their future would consist of a good paying job, a home for their family and a solid education for their children. With a little help from the Government, Labor Unions and Hard working Americans the economy began to expand resulting in the growth of businesses, confident consumers purchasing an every expanding variety of goods/services and most of us smiling all the way to the bank. The quality of life for the middle class was shining brightly for a few DECADES. But so much has changed in 50 years. The Financial Institutions: Banks,Mortgage Companies,...

Do you Know How to Turn Tough Interviewer Questions Into Knock Out Strengths?By:Bobby Edelman (Excerpt from "An Over 40 Career Change: Arctic Freeze or Tropic Breeze© Learn more ) Once at the interview, you are going to be asked a lot of questions by your potential employer. They will ask about you in particular such as what your strengths and weaknesses are. You might want to prepare for answering questions by listing some of your attributes. Talk to former co-workers with whom you worked closely. Ask them to list some traits about you that they most admired -- work related, of course. Try to find some faults as well. You won't, obviously, spontaneously tell a prospective employer about these faults, but you may be...

This article is a good starting point to help both older experienced and younger inexperience job seekers understand what preparing a resume means in today's world.(Editor's Notes) In many contexts, a résumé is short (usually one to two pages), and therefore contains only experience directly relevant to a particular position.

Female Style of Networking - Detrimental to Success?

noreply@blogger.com (Sari Lawson) — Mon, 21 May 2012 01:11:00 PDT

Editors Notes: Are women better networkers or just different then men? Do men go for the size/volume of business relationships while women build smaller more meaningful relationships? Does this help or hurt women? Women are born networkers. After all, at its core, networking is about connecting with other people, and that’s something women excel at. Connecting is in our DNA. Given that we have the social gene, I’ve been surprised in my work as a coach and the research I did for my new book, The Female Brand, that women often don’t have an expansive network – yet men do. We women tend to favor deep relationships with a group of close friends, a preference evolutionary scientists trace back to our roots as family caretakers...

Why Employers Should Hire Older Workers

noreply@blogger.com (Arash Ahmadi) — Mon, 21 May 2012 00:02:00 PDT

Can you handle the truth? If you think you can, let me test you. The last time you interviewed an employee over age 50, were you concerned that he or she would not be able to be as productive as a 20 or 30-year-old employee? Were you worried that the older employee might have memory or health problems, not be familiar with or be able to be trained to use new technology, or might retire before he or she completes training? Myths, myths, and more myths suddenly develop in the minds of employers when they interview an older worker (50 to 64 years of age). The first myth that comes to mind to an employer is that an older worker might have health problems; therefore, an older worker will cost the company too much money in terms of health...

Top 10 Tips for Older Job Hunters

noreply@blogger.com (Sari Lawson) — Sun, 20 May 2012 03:55:00 PDT

Thanks to their seniority, folks 55 and older were once less likely than their younger co-workers to be laid off during a recession. Not this time around. Steep manufacturing cuts have hit older workers particularly hard. And even in workplaces where seniority still provides protection, older men have less of it than they used to; only 44% of male workers aged 58 to 62 work for the same employer they were with at age 50, down from 70% 25 years ago. Here are some tips for older layoff victims. No. 1: Keep Your Health Insurance If you have employer-provided health insurance, use "COBRA"--a federal provision that lets you continue in your ex-employer's plan, but without an employer subsidy. It was always essential to stay insured,...
