Career Resources From Around the Web…
There’s still a talent shortage?
Not only the unemployed who are looking these days. People are desiring to change careers or come from out underemployment.

Other than having and creating a robust network, there is the part where employers say the skill shortage is the real problem. The growing underemployment continues as an spoken epidemic. Listen to this three minute audio from NPR.
When the time is right…
Your brand is on fire when opportunities come to you, but it’s not the right one. Happen to you? Well, it will, and when it does, consider advice from this Washington Post article! There’s a way to be tactful and still be thought of in case you need to pass on this job.
This is hot in job search this week!
