		<description><![CDATA[One of the key areas you may be struggling with as a job seeker is a feeling of rejection. This can cause a real slowdown in your job search activity. This downward spiral can happen for a variety of reasons including:

A poor response from companies and/or jobs for which you have submitted your resume.
Stopping your job search once you get one or two job interviews (to see how they pan out).
Hinging everything on one hopeful offer.
Only using one method to perform your job search (like responding to Internet job postings).

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

I also wrote reviews for Eckhart Tolle’s “The Power of Now” and “A New Earth&#8220;.  These three books work at explaining and enlightening me about the spiritual.

Hunt like a Guerrilla.
That was the experience of Mark Thomas, a systems administrator from Mesa, Ariz., who started a new job on March 8, 2010, after a search of only 6 weeks.
According to Thomas, he would have been hired sooner, but &#8220;the entire executive team was gone at a conference for a week.&#8221;
Thomas succeeded after using three unconventional job-search tactics:
1. The Job Shopping List
2. The Guerrilla Resume
3. The Coffee Cup Caper

Before Fr. Eddy even saw me coming around the separator for a face to face confession, he started aloud with his prayers. Then he stopped abruptly, &#8220;Jorge, how are you? How are you and your family?” He wore his usual smile and, as always, slowly ...]]></description>

Here are two very common things I hear:
“They asked me how much I needed and I said at least $250k.”
“I asked them what they had in mind for their salary package.”
What most people don’t realize is that these two statements put ALL the power in the hands of the employer! So, to alleviate these negative events from happening and successfully negotiate the maximum salary ...]]></description>

Yes.
But only if you use it right.
It can be a huge challenge sorting the wheat from the chaff on Twitter, where millions of updates appear daily, only a few of which contain useful job-search information.
Let&#8217;s start at the beginning, then explore two case studies.
Twitter is the micro-blogging service that lets users send updates (&#8220;tweets&#8221;) of 140 characters or less to people in their network. You can follow the updates of any other Twitter member with one click.

Frustration #1: There just aren&#8217;t enough jobs out there to apply for.
Solution: Let&#8217;s analyze this one &#8230;
When I speak to job hunters, in seminars, by phone, or via email, I ask the same question: &#8220;How are you looking for jobs?&#8221; Almost invariably, the answer is: &#8220;I look online or in the paper.&#8221;

Ferrazzi vividly describes how his father enabled him to break with his blue collar background by networking throughout his community. It led to Ferrazzi:

		<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 ran into this great article from The Positivity Blog.  It includes a ton of Mark Twains best quotes and organizes them into nine self improvement tips I wanted to share with all of you. 
Job hunting can be about as unmotivating as it gets.  It&#8217;s like getting a punch in the gut and it doesn&#8217;t seem like it&#8217;s going to get better anytime soon.  I hope this can be of help to you. 
Hope this helps.

		<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.

		<description><![CDATA[I launched another site recently at http://www.PurelyCatholic.com.  There I publish a weekly audio program called &#8220;My Take on the Sunday Readings&#8221; where I read the upcoming Sunday Mass scriptures and give a short reflection on them. 
I know this is a bit off topic for Career Jockey, but if you are of the Roman Catholic or related slant and are out of work, this could be a way to help you stay  motivatived and spiritual uplifted.
Hope this helps.

		<description><![CDATA[ Looking for a job?
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 .
1) Use Me as an Excuse to Call
