		<description><![CDATA[You think it&#8217;s tough to find a job now?
It&#8217;s been tougher.
Like in the Great Depression of the 1930s, for example.
Try to imagine a world without Twitter or Facebook, when the unemployment rate ranged from 14.3% to 24.9% (1931 to 1938).
Would you be interested in learning two ways to find that worked back then &#8212; and still work now?
Here they are &#8230;
1) Appeal to the self-interest of the employer
In the book, &#8220;Pick Your Job And Land It!&#8221; published in 1938, the authors, S.W. and M.G. Edlund, share the story of one ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I thought I&#8217;d share with you this article written by Bill Leonard of the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM).  There&#8217;s a lot of news about the extention of unemployment benefits to the jobless, but seems like there&#8217;s a lot of confusion on the specifics.
If any of you readers have specific experience with what&#8217;s going on and your experience on applying for the payments retroactively, please chime in so the rest of us can benefit from your experience.

Raise your hand if you love networking.
I thought so.
And why don&#8217;t you get a thrill out of talking to friends and family about your job search?
For many folks, it&#8217;s a problem of how to start. There&#8217;s really no way to ask, &#8220;Know anyone who&#8217;s hiring?&#8221; without feeling awkward.
To fix that, here are two ways to open your next networking conversation that are proven to produce job leads &#8212; and won&#8217;t make you feel self-conscious .

But I boiled their frustrations down to four common ones.
Here they are, with suggested solutions. Which of them apply to you?
Frustration #1: &#8220;I submit my resume for a posted job and never hear back
from employers. Did they even read my resume?&#8221;
Solution: Here are three ways to make sure your resume is received and read.
1) Call the employer after applying.
Obviously, you can&#8217;t do this if you&#8217;re ...]]></description>

I took a look at his LinkedIn profile and found that he hasn&#8217;t followed all of the advice I gave him.
In fact, as near as I can tell, he&#8217;s not doing anything I suggested.
And, yet, he wants more ideas from me.
So, here&#8217;s my advice to him and anyone else struggling to find a job: To get hired in this economy, you must ...]]></description>

The iPad interface, Google, popsicles &#8212; they&#8217;re all simple things that achieve great results.
Applied to your job search, simplicity can achieve great results, too.
Example: What if you identified the people you wanted to work for, then advertised directly to them, asking for an interview?
Do you think something that simple might get you a job?
Well, it worked for one man, Alec Brownstein, an advertising copywriter from New York City.
Here&#8217;s what Brownstein did: He created Google AdWords for the names of people he wanted to work for. When each person Googled ...]]></description>

How did they do it?
By using Guerrilla Resumes (explained below), LinkedIn, and smart networking, among other tactics.

That&#8217;s according to economist and Harvard professor, Theodore Levitt.
And that&#8217;s absolutely correct.
Especially in job hunting, where too many people think too much and do too little.
Want proof?
According to surveys cited by David Wessel in The Wall Street Journal, &#8220;The unemployed in the United States spend 40 minutes a day looking for work and 3 hours and 20 minutes a day watching TV.&#8221;
This may explain why the average job search in America now lasts 33 weeks, according to US Bureau of ...]]></description>

We had just interviewed a woman for a writing job. Discussing how we ourselves had been hired, I mentioned that I had mailed a thank-you note to the manager who interviewed me. &#8220;So did I,&#8221; replied Steve. And we were both hired. Ha. Wasn&#8217;t that a coincidence?
The next day, we each received a thank-you note in the mail from Leitha, the woman we interviewed. We hired Leitha.
Coincidence? I think not.

It&#8217;s the &#8220;micro-blogging&#8221; web site that lets you share information with people in your network using short updates of 140 characters or less, called &#8220;tweets.&#8221; It&#8217;s free to join and to use.
Can it help you find a job? Yes.
Can it also be a huge waste of time in your job search? Yes.

(Click here for that one.)  It provided great advice for older job hunters.  I definitely recommended it for helping job hunters get through the struggle.
Unfortunately, I CANNOT say the same for her Fired to Hired: Bouncing Back from Job Loss to Get to Work Right Now.  Is it a horrible book? No way.  Is it great resource every job hunter should make sure and read?  Not exactly.  It&#8217;s ...]]></description>

To get the latest and best tips, I interviewed Rob Mendez, an expert on LinkedIn and other social media, who helps job hunters via his CareerNetworkMinistry.com web site.

		<description><![CDATA[I love the hidden job market. I have built my career on showing professionals how easy it is to shorten their job search, get more quality interviews and bigger offers using a very simple yet powerful system to tap into it.
A statement I often hear is “isn’t tapping into the hidden job market just networking?” In short, no. It’s about going direct – and cutting out both “internal” and “external” middle men. Internal within the company (i.e. HR) and external outside of the company (i.e. recruiters).

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re job hunting in this tough economy, take heart from the following
three stories of people who found work in three to four months &#8212; about half
as long as the average job search, which takes nearly 8 months (31.2 weeks)
as of March 2010.
How did they do it?
By using Guerrilla Resumes (explained below), LinkedIn, and smart
networking, among other tactics.
Read on to learn more from the Q&#38;A I did with each of them &#8230;
