Hard Goals - Secrets to Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be

Albany Times Union Bloggers Encourage Blogging to Showcase What Your Work

Will Brunelle writing on TECH BLOG tells us: A blog is a place for you to showcase yourself, and make it clear to employers that you’re ready to not only work for them in an office, you’re ready to, and able to, embrace the brand online as well, and work with them to use emerging technologies to promote their name and merchandise or services. It’s critical, today, to show that you can do more than use Microsoft Office, or your industry-specific suite of programs. You absolutely must be able to also work online, with emerging services and technologies, to fully harness their potential and make the most of what they have to offer. I thought the IBM Smart Planet Campaign wants to tell us something about how we work. And I mentioned it only because we can easily get lost online or at career fairs gathering information about companies and making connections with individuals who can't get us to a job interview. The IBM smarter planet essays talk about "How to compete in an era of smart is that employer's are shifting away from hiring people who gather knowledge to hiring people who communicate it." So work on content and communication.

Advertised Jobs are Just the Tip of the Iceberg

More evidence that you better learn about The HIDDEN JOB MARKET before you start applying for work.

The process of finding employment has quietly undergone an evolution. Jobseekers are discovering that many open positions are not posted to the public. In fact, the online career guidance resource Quintessential Careers reports that only 15 to 20 percent of available jobs are advertised through newspapers, online job boards or employment agencies.

“Not advertised?” ask many exasperated, out-of-work job candidates who regularly scour newspapers and websites in hopes of finding a job. If this traditional search yields just a fraction of available employment opportunities, where are the bulk of open positions hiding? Welcome to the hidden job market.
