How to avoid a bad job

When searching for the right job, the best advice I can give is to be choosy. There are plenty of less than great jobs out there, many of which you may easily obtain. But no one on the professional level should settle for just a J-O-B. Even more important, as you search for the job that’s right for you, you need to be particularly vigilant and avoid the bad jobs.

What will your professional references tell your prospective employer about you?

Many job seekers I run into have trouble determining who they should choose and ask to provide a professional reference for them. Part of this comes from the fact that many job seekers don’t really understand that a professional reference is not someone who verifies or evaluates your employment, rather he or she is someone who verifies your character, skills, and abilities, among other things. When selecting a professional reference, you don’t always have to choose someone with whom you… Continue

How to become a better leader

One of the best ways to stand out at work and move quickly up the ladder is by demonstrating that you are a good leader. And while it is true that there are born leaders in the world, leadership is a skill that can be developed and honed by just about anyone. A good leader is both a teacher and a delegator. He has developed the ability to effectively teach and mentor those on his team and has the confidence to delegate important responsibilities to those in his stewardship. Here… Continue

Using a recession to help your career

As the economy slips into an apparent recession (though officials don’t seem to want to label it a such just yet) and jobs are lost consistently each month, it may seem to some that this pending cloud has no silver lining. Many would be job seekers have postponed their searches until hiring returns to prerecession levels, but as they wait, they can actually use this economic downturn to their advantage. An economic downturn, while difficult for the unemployed jobseeker, can be very advantageous… Continue

Should you list your gpa on your resume?

Most college students have pulled an all-nighter at least once, in an effort to study hard and soak in as much information as possible in order to get a good grade on the morning’s test and preserve their GPA. But when it comes to listing that GPA you worked so hard in college for on your resume, does it really matter? According to CareerBuilder’s “College Job Forecast 2008,” your college GPA isn’t as important as you might think:

Sixty two percent of all employers don’t have a minimu

How to get hired to a position you are not qualified for

The best jobseekers all have a unique skill in common. Not only do they usually get the jobs they are qualified for, but they also have a knack for getting the jobs for which they are not qualified. As a result, they have very interesting work lives, because they are not tied down to an industry or position where they are not consistently learning new things. Getting hired even when you are not qualified for the job is especially helpful in a tough job market. In such a market, wh… Continue

The first twenty minutes of a job interview

Employment experts say that hiring managers usually make up their mind about a job candidate within the first twenty minutes of an interview, and they suggest that no matter what you do beyond that point, little can be done to change the mind of the hiring manager and get the job. As such, all job candidates need to be especially mindful to show enthusiasm for the job for which they are interviewing, especially during the first twenty minutes of the interview. During the first twe… Continue

How to decide where to go next in your career

These days, the word “career” has taken on a whole new meaning. It used to be that having a career meant choosing a trade or a position in a certain industry and field and then working hard to make your way up the ladder until you could tell people you were successful in your career. Now the word “career” basically means how you have spent and will spend your time after your education. If your resume is “all over the place” as an early version of mine once was, you may have tried out a n… Continue

Taking a vacation from work is absolutely necessary

The first blog post I put up on this site was about how Americans tend to reluctant vacationers and how we work more and relax less than our European counterparts. The post dealt with the fact that Americans are notorious for not using all (and in some cases any) of their vacation time, while Europeans typically use most or all of theirs. This happens despite the fact that the American worker typically gets much less vacation time than his counterpart elsewhere in the world. And when we d… Continue

Four things to consider before you accept a job offer

When I first moved to New York City, I had a tough time finding a job. I was only using the newspaper at the time (this was a while back) and I wasn’t networking all that much because I didn’t know very many people in the city. One day, I went to an employment agency to seek help in finding a job and I received some valuable advice which I remember to this day. The lady who was assisting me at the agency told me not only that I should make my job search my full time job, but she also told me tw… Continue

How to get noticed at work so you can be promoted

In one of my previous jobs, I remember being really angry that I was passed up for a promotion that I knew was mine. It turns out that I went to Buenos Aires, Argentina for two weeks the day before they listed the position at work, and I came back a few days after the position was removed. I was upset that they did not even consider me, but I made it my business to do my best at my job and be vigilant for the next opportunity for promotion so that I could get it, which I did. But I also realize… Continue

What not to wear to work during the hot days of summer

It’s the most wonderful time of the year when it comes to being allowed to choose what you want to wear to work. As summer nears, many companies will begin to relax the dress standards in the office to allow employees to shed the suits and wear more casual and comfortable clothing to work. However, there are employees who will not understand the dress code, even if it is spelled out for them. You can bet that every summer there are at least a few individuals who are sent home from work because… Continue
