Your job search could use these articles and resources so enjoy! I’ve read them, and you can feel free to comment on them in any form you’d like including leaving a message on the “send voicemail” button on your right. I’ll try to keep it short, fresh, and informative. If you have some news I need to know about, tweet me @MarkADyson!
Career Resources From Around the Web
One woman’s LinkedIn update resulted in 300 email (or InMail) messages, within two months she had more than 20 interviews, and landed a position with a tech company she liked. Please wrap your head around the fact she received an overwhelming response in such a short period. Although this story is not typical of LinkedIn users, it offers hope your efforts aren’t in vain.
Are you the only obstacle to more money?
The right experience may land you the job but not necessarily the pay. Your strategy must include accurate detail of the value of what you do, and less contingent on where and how long you do it:
Quantify your results to show impact
Qualify your total package as a fit with the organization
Gather enough intel to speak to the needs of the employer or interviewer rather than guessing what is needed.
