What Did You Do Today?
Ok, Labor Day is over and back to business. For many people school began, which includes a new schedule. For others, of you, you are looking for a job. So Labor Day may have been a break from the job search. Are you still on “vacation” or did you take some time to actively pursue your job search? A couple of days ago, I shared a Video Instruction: Blogging for a Job. I wanted to take a moment to remind you that there are creative ways to find employment. Too many people sit at home and push resumes out to organizations using email. Others waste a lot of time visiting organizations and applying for jobs in person. Both of these options for your job search, have been tried and tested in the past, but in the year 2008 they are obsolete.
Here are some creative ways to consider for your job search:
2. Social Networking - Using tools like LinkedIn, Facebook to name a few
3. Volunteer in the industry you are interested in working
4. Go back to school - Strengthen your skills and abilities
5. Invest 8 hours per day looking for a job
6. Network with people you know to find out who they know - Ask for an introduction
7. Send your resume using Federal Express/Airborne Express directly to the hiring manager
8. Create a video resume
These are just a few things I can think of that would get you out of the box in your job search. If you have something that a little more creative or out of the box thinking, please scroll down and share. Labor Day is over. Go find a job!
