Is there a reason you are not getting a job -

Is there a reason you are not getting a job - Let me tell you the tale of two job seekers. One has been out of a job for almost a year. She is really tired of looking for work, and chafes at the idea of ramping up her networking. She doesnt have time to optimize her LinkedIn profile and focus on using Twitter for the job hunt. Even thought she has a great resume and terrific experience, she has a tough time getting engaged in the hunt and she has nothing good to say about how things are going. Our other job seeker has also been looking for work for almost a year.  She went at it alone for most of the time, doing what she thought was right (it wasnt) and banging her head against the proverbial wall. When she reached out for help, she was frustrated, but open to new ideas. She understood that you cant expect to do the same thing and expect a different result. That really made sense to her. She was actually HAPPY to know that there were things she had NOT tried. It energized her to have new networking plans and suggestions about social networking tools to use to fuel her hunt. Her attitude is upbeat, and although shed most like to land a job TOMORROW, she knows that she is on the right track now and will find a job that is right for her soon. Look in the mirror. Do you recognize yourself in these profiles? Which job seeker do you think is likely to land more quickly? Not to be a doomsday predictor, but even well qualified people can easily be out of work for extended periods if they do not conduct an optimized search. Additionally, dont forget  how important your attitude is in the job hunt. I worry about my clients who seem too wrapped up in the negative to take advantage of all the resources available to them. Think about it NOW is the time to make a change. Its not too late to have a good attitude and to move forward confidently with your search. WHAT IS HOLDING YOU BACK?

Cram-sorption Learning Intelligence Testing - Whats the Connection - Work It Daily

Cram-sorption Learning Intelligence Testing - Whats the Connection - Work It Daily By J.T. O'Donnell I just read a short, funny post by Dan Reich, a blogger for BrazenCareerist.com in which he explains why he plans to start the University of Nothing. In college, Reich says he was forced to use ‘cram-sorption learning.’ This is a study technique that required him to memorize information just to pass a test and get a good grade, but that also made him promptly forget what he learned. At his new university, he’s planning on implementing ‘discovery learning’ - where students are given an objective without instructions, and then encouraged to use any and all resources to achieve the objective. Reich believes the process of discovery will help students internalize and commit to memory what is learned while trying to meet the objective (a.k.a. learning by doing). It was ironic to read this post because I’d just finished reading Sir Ken Robinson’s new book, The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything. In it, Robinson also outlines problems affecting our education system today. In particular, he discusses the varying forms of intelligence and how our schools don’t cater to the development of all types of intelligence. He also explains the history of intelligence testing and how it is flawed. To support his claims, Robinson gives incredible stories of professional success about famous people who, as children, were labeled anything but intelligent. He shows how their ability to ignore society’s definitions of ‘smart’ and its repeated efforts to assert limitations on them actually pushed these individuals to prove society wrong and find professional success on their own terms. Robinson goes on to discuss the importance of recognizing not ‘if’ you are intelligent, but ‘how’ you are intelligent in order to identify c areer paths that will leverage your strengths and increase your professional satisfaction. (If you are interested, here's a video of a speech he did on the subject.) As I contemplated what these two men had written, I saw an interesting connection between them…as well as an important lesson for job seekers. As the New Year approaches, thousands, no actually, millions of Americans will claim a ‘new career in the new year’ as their 2009 resolution. Over 2M college grads alone will enter the job market with this goal in 2009, right as the unemployment rate is expected to reach 9% and the number of jobs for entry-level grads is expected to drop over 8%. Not to mention, the average job seeker is under-educated when it comes to knowing how to look for work effectively. Talk about rough odds! In short, many of these resolutions won’t come true. However, I put my money on those who understand the simple truth to getting on track professionally: a discovery learning approach to finding a career that leverages a person’s own unique intelligence is the best way to find what they’re looking for. When put together, Reich’s and Robinson’s thoughts on learning and intelligence unlock the secret to finding professional success. And now that you know the connection, the questions remains - “How can I apply this to my job search efforts?” Well, here's the answer... For years now, I’ve taught those who are looking for greater career satisfaction how to leverage the following equation: Experience = Learn = Grow It’s a fact - those who approach job search and career development as a growth process consistently see better results.
