Latest podcast episode: LAYOFFS?
This may happen to you. I think everyone could benefit from this episode with Tom Spiggle. He is an attorney who enlightened us this week about severance packages and what to do you anticipate this happening to you. Don’t be too passive! You want to have your ducks in a row if/when this happens.

What’s hot in job search?
If you’re trying to attract the eyes of employers and/or recruiters, or even more people on LinkedIn, you need to read this article on Inc. magazine by Suzanne Lucas (@EvilHRLady). She shares an anecdote to how to get more eyes on your LinkedIn updates (not articles but can be applied through your updates).
Why is it hot? Since you’re trying to meet the right people, you need to meet more people and yes, impress those who can refer or guide you.
I gave it a shot and sure enough, I got more than 7,000 views on one update. That’s more views I ever received.
Read the article here. Let me know your thoughts.
Come back next Friday for more job search news that’s relevant to conducting today’s modern job search.
