CREATING JOB SECURITY - 2009 Edition

Job hunting in this economy is different than in previous recessions. Many people find themselves looking for work or additional income for the first time in a decade or more. In many ways, it can be compared to the experience of dating again after years of marriage. You may be asking: Where do I look? What do I do? How do I dress for an interview? What are potential employers looking for in candidates today?

If youre someone who could really benefit from the expertise of a career counselor, an employment center or a step-by-step tool to help you create your own job security, excellent support is available and trained professionals are here to help.

If youve decided to first try it on your own, youve come to the right place for resources that can get you in the door, and let you know what to expect from the hiring process. This resource guide includes more than 75 online job resources, grouped by industry and special interest.

The most remarkable difference in the current job market and prior experiences you may have had is how impersonal the process has become, especially for highly competitive positions. With anywhere from six to 100 qualified applicants for an executive position in a metropolitan area, a companys job is to get as much information from you and about you without getting intimately involved with you until theyre ready to take the next step. Your job is to vet them while they are vetting you, and develop a personal connection that can help you glean the critical information you need to ensure you get through the next phase.
