It is definitely true that now days job hunting online is the way to go. With sites out there like career builder and monster dot com it is much easier to submit your resume to a large number of employers with the click of a mouse.

LOL. True. Seems scary at first, but it is much easier than they think!

Great article. One thing I find interesting is that how reluctant people are to actually do more than look at online advertisements for jobs, particularly people who may be looking for a job for the very first time in their lives. I think it’s because the huge job boards advertise themselves so much and it seems like the only way. I often ask my clients to name the last three ways they found a job, and many of them say “headhunted,” “friend told me” or the offer started at a talk at a BBQ. Yet I talk to these same people about the concept of networking and most run a mile.

What an excellent post! Many, MANY people make EXACTLY those mistakes, and then find themselves out of time, out of money, and still unemployed. VERY tough situation, and, sadly, at least partially self-inflicted.

Love Gayle’s Cinderella and Prince Charming analogy! I’ve often thought that if people approached dating the same way they approach job search, they’d be single their whole lives.

Thanks!

Erin:
Great explanations! You covered the many excuses we’ve all heard! Job search does take practice, as you pointed out. I also think that things have changed a bit over the past several years, so a “refresher course” in job search is always beneficial. Great post and glad to be part of this initiative with you!

Great article Erin! In particular they way you have identified many people who erroneously think that as long as they are “online” all they have to do is sit back and wait like Cinderella for Prince Charming to come to her door with the glass slipper! It just doesn’t work that way! I say to my clients, all the internet does is allow you to communicate quicker. Active participation, talking to people and being a strategically agile thinker to work all the angles—they are the things that work the best! Great job!
