As the economy continues its deep downward spiral our collective emotional stress level is spiraling upward, according to a Gallup-Healthways poll out this week. The report is believed to be the most extensive report to date on how the health of the economy impacts our emotional health.

An article in USA Today provides a breakdown of the report, including how each state fared in the recent poll. The poor emotional health rating also translates to poorer mental and physical health. People suffering from stress are more likely to experience high blood pressure, sleep disorders,[..]

Executives and IT Professionals complain because they feel they can't uncover the hidden job market. They don't find Job Opportunities quickly and fear they haven't tapped into a hidden stream of Executive Positions. The frustration is easy to understand, but the reason is wrong. Every Executive who registers the complaint has tried to fill job openings and not one of them will confess to keeping it secret. Companies who have openings want to fill them as expeditiously as possible with a qualified candidate. There is no such thing as a hidden job market. It costs companies money in lost opportunities, loss of morale among other employees who have to take up the slack and all those[..]

Commonly called a CNA which stands for Certified Nursing Assistant or Certified Nurse Assistant, is exactly what it sounds like; an individual who assists Nurses. That is not all they do of course. CNA's are typically under the authority of either a Registered Nurse or Licensed Practical Nurse, and are very crucial in the ongoing care for patients. A nurse assistant can be found involved in a number of tasks including answering patient calls, measuring their food and liquid intake, checking their vitals, provide help with patient motor functions, preparing patients for surgery and transporting them to treatment units. To become a certified nursing assistant, you must take a nurses aide[..]

Having a bad attitude is one of the best ways to make sure you don't get a job just as having a great attitude is one of the best ways to get a job because managers like to hire people with great attitudes toward the work that needs to be done. Smart managers hire employees who have an interest and positive attitude toward the job above all other things, skill sets are important as well but skills can be taught given the time. Attitude and interest cannot be taught. Have you ever heard of someone going to a class to learn how to have a better attitude toward their job. Those classes don't exist. As a Manager, I can tell you that I would rather develop the skill sets of someone with a[..]

If you're in the middle of an executive-level job search, you're probably hoping that you can get back in the workforce sooner than later.

Business managers who are senior citizens represent the intellectual capital of virtually every industry and yet they continue to lose positions to younger, less experienced people.

Like after gaining a little experience, people start to demand more pay or they just go to some other high paying company.

Although you have a superb resume and the interview seemed perfect, you may not get the job. You will face rejection as part of the job search. There are two things to keep in mind when you are not offered the job. First, in the current economy there are more candidates than jobs. More than ever the job search requires more from the applicants. Most likely you will send out a greater number of resumes than ever before, you will have fewer interviews than ever before, and you will face rejection frequently. This frustrating situation is the result of a weak economy and a shattered job market. Secondly, it is important to remember that this type of rejection really is not personal. You are[..]

The loss of a job, either voluntarily or involuntarily, by either spouse can put the vow "for better or for worse" to the test - especially if you are not the spouse out of work. Then you are in the uncomfortable position of being affected by the job loss but not being able to do anything about it. Unemployment (along with death and divorce) rates high on the list as one of life's top stress-inducing events. Acknowledge, out loud, that it is hard to look for a new position - everybody can use a cheering section. Think about the type of support you would like if the roles were reversed. Remember that your spouse is more emotionally fragile than in most situations - for many people their[..]

It's always amazing to me how job hunters fall into the same old traps that can damage their job campaign. You MUST avoid these fundamental flaws that can sabotage your job search campaign. 1. Writing a resume no one wants to read! Your resume can NOT focus on YOU and your past! It must show employers how you can make a difference to them going forward. They could care less about your career goals and job objectives. Or your work history, for that matter. UNLESS you can show them how it affects their bottom line. And remember, employers are buying YOU . . . not your resume! Your resume should be used like a business card after you meet someone. 2. Wasting your time on published job[..]

Searching for the right position requires focus and a great deal of targeted job searching. If you would like to find the right job for you in a highly targeted manner, then you need to follow certain steps that may take you out of your typical comfort zone. The typical job seeker will usually decide that they have to find the jobs that are available- - the ones listed on on job boards, in the newspaper, etc. This is a comfortable path to follow; it's one that we have tried over and over again. It has probably led us to the current position we occupy, or to the previous ones that were held. If you're searching for a position, or considering the possibility, wouldn't you be interested[..]

Dear job hunters (and "I need a second or third job" hunters), The new economy is proving to provide little or no jobs for the newly graduated or recently unemployed/under-employed. The stress of the economy can be felt on job hunters everywhere; from highly decorated industry professionals, to those looking to fill a gap from a recent pay-cut at work, and to those who are everywhere in between. I recently fell victim to a "pay-cut" that left me asking myself maybe I need to find a small part-time job on the weekends to supplement my loss of income, and who knows I might even have fun doing it. I am a chemist and while it might have been exciting at first it has slowly become the 9-5[..]

Picture this - I see a job posting. I am fully qualified. I send my résumé. I hear nothing. I then repeat Step 1 (I see a job posting... etc.). So, what do we think the problem is? Why is it that every time we submit a résumé for a job posting, it seems to disappear into the dark mysterious vacuum of the job search atmosphere? And, when you apply for a position you are really energized about, it never fails, that it is sent to a blind posting on a job board and you have no way of following up on your communication. Think of it this way - when you are approached by a salesman (of any kind), what is it that either pulls you toward him / her, or pushes you away?[..]

You've seen them: the Domino's commercials talking up their new pizza recipe. Have you tried it? Well, lots of folks have, and it's changed everything for Domino's, according to an article in USA Today- New Pizza Recipe Did Wonders For Domino's Sales. Domino's was not doing well. They had a poor reputation and were at the bottom of an already shrinking pizza market in the middle of a recession-not a recipe for success. So what did they do? They bet everything on a brand-new recipe and a brand-new campaign, and not only is it going to keep them in business, it's looking to me like it's going to make them flourish. It was a brave move, and it worked. So what does this mean for you in your[..]

Ever get the feeling that there's only about 20 companies out there, and that everyone wants to work for them? I go to quite a few networking/job search groups in the area, and I see a lot of marketing plans. For those who haven't added those to their job search arsenal, a Marketing Plan is basically a simplified version of your resume that you hand out to your networking contacts instead of giving them a resume. It talks about the best of the best of your accomplishments, employment history, as well as your target positions and companies. The concept being that people can look on the list of companies you're targeting, recognize one where they have a strong contact, read your[..]

ding to most experts, the average job search takes about five months to complete. Five months is a long time to spend job searching, especially if you are currently out of work! Why does the average job search take this long? One of the primary reasons is because most job seekers are using the exact same job search strategies. Most of them are using what could be called the “wait and hope” strategy. The wait and hope strategy is comprised of three primary steps. 1- Search for jobs which are being advertised 2- Submit a resume for selected jobs 3- WAIT AND HOPE for an interview This is the primary strategy used because this is the way we were all taught to look for jobs. A[..]

The best place to find a job will depend on what type of job you are looking for and what the skill level it is at. For lower skill positions, the best place is the place where employment is going to take place. Many restaurants and local stores still advertise job openings in the windows. This is done so someone local will be able to fill the position. The advantage to the local business is there is a reduced problem with the new employee getting to work because of living in the vicinity of the work place. The higher the skill level, the more specialized the job placement and search has to be. Top level management and college graduates are done through head hunters. These are[..]

To effectively manage career and employment gaps in your resume, you need to be honest, but in most cases you don't have to go into great detail. Depending on the reason for the gap, you may not need to go into details at all. For example, if you were not employed for a few months between jobs, then on a resume that lists the years of employment rather than exact months, it may not appear as a gap in employment at all. In fact, some people choose to leave out irrelevant part-time job experience or short-term assignments on purpose. In the case of managerial positions, a resume should cover no more than the past 15 years of experience while lower level jobs may only need to go up to the[..]
