Job Search Secret #2:
Because of the first rule of job hunting the second rule is brutal but very necessary to understand and accept.
The second rule is that because people hire people they already know (rule #1), the GOOD jobs go to the good (or at least “known”) people before the general public ever knows about these openings…if, indeed, they ever know about them.
Let that sink in.
By the time you see something on Monster and/or Career Builder and the like; by the time you view something posted in a newspaper (the few that are still in print)…the job is going to someone who is ALREADY a KNOWN QUANTITY by the employer.
So you are really WASTING your valuable job search time relying on any public source of job listings.

Do not get offended, I’m going to tell you the brutal truth!
Nobody teaches us how to do an excellent functioning winning job search!
Two make matters worse some of the less educated, perhaps less professional career advisers you’ll find over the Internet give one the distinct impression that internet job search is all there is and the Internet is all anybody needs. Of course, nothing could be further from the truth!
We have to understand why this is. Why is the online search so negative in its results? The reason is simply ……….Read More
I found this article recently and want to pass it on to you. The author is on the right track and just needs to flesh out the “skill” thing a lot more; I’ll do that in other posts; but, this is a good article.

For some people, this is fine with them and they make a career out of what they have to do not what they necessarily want to do. Again, in reality, it is NOT fine with them, most folks think they are supposed to be miserable in work.
