Is a great resume crucial to obtaining employment? In my early experience, a resume was not always necessary to get the job. After a stint in the military, in the 1980s, I wrote my first resume using a basic template with a chronological format.

Although I had prepared a resume, it was not a factor in gaining employment, as the company specifically sought former military personnel. In a career span of 20 years, none of the jobs I held were landed as a result of a resume. Rather, I found that through networking, a resume was more of a formality than a means to finding employment.

Sometimes, getting the job is more about who you know. When leaving one job for another, be sure not to slam the door behind you on the way out, because you may find yourself going back at some point. Old mentors, college friends, and fraternity members are all excellent connections to maintain.

Even with my multitude of valuable career experience, and a number of networking contacts, I eventually realized the importance of having a stand-out resume. This time, I chose to pay a resume writing service, at a cost around $100 over writing my own.

The results were undoubtedly much more professional. It was chronological in format with a qualification summary, but featured fonts and formatting that made it very attractive. How else do you make your resume stand out among a sea of similar competing papers? Make sure it lands in the right hands.

Instead of sending your resume to the Human Resources Specialist, where it will become lost in the shuffle, try getting it to the hiring manager. With luck, the hiring manager will pass it to HR, with the implication you are an excellent candidate. Likewise, if your resume arrives through a referral, you will have a head above your fellow applicants.

You may also accomplish this by faxing your resume to HR, or including a cover letter specific to the position you are seeking, directed specifically toward the HR specialist. For an economical approach, create that resume using free templates available at your local library, or online. However, I have found the old adage, "You get what you pay for," to be true.

Guerrilla Resume, an eBook with 50 pages of unique templates for resumes, cover pages, and thank you notes, is a great alternative to free websites and costly resume writing services. A combination of value-based and functional formats, the manual emphasizes the skills learned and responsibilities held over the course of my stellar career.

I've written about the benefits of a business card resume and have since used the material to give several presentations. Every single time job hunters will come up to me and tell me, "This is valuable information I can can use right away in my job search."

So in this articles, I'm starting multi-part series giving the step-by-step on writing yourself a business card resume that will get you networking like a pro and getting the job hunt results you need.

Step 1- Setting a Clear Goal

Writing a business card resume is easy...assuming you know what you want. Formatting and printing the card is even easier given the online vendors now available. Again, that's assuming you know the job and career you want for yourself.

What I typically find when I'm talking to job hunters is they have dedicated little time, if any, to goal setting. They have spent plenty of time freaking out over their financial situation and dwindling savings. They're plenty livid over being fired, but they haven't begun to consider:

What they want to do next
Where they'd like to be doing it
How they're going to get there

If this describes you, hold off just a bit before writing your business card sized resume. If have any doubt about what you want out of your career or your next job, STOP. Commit yourself to figuring out what you want first. Don't even think about skipping this step. Instead, make it a point to:

do the necessary personal exploration and soul searching and
write your career / job hunt goals down on paper.

I cannot stress to you how valuable spending this time and effort will be for you. Only then should you get to writing your business card resume for networking. OK, so I've convinced you.

Now what? My answer - get yourself a book or resource with a questionnaire, a set of steps, exercises or something aimed at helping you discover your goals. You need to decide:

What you enjoy doing
What skills have have you mastered
What work environments suit you best
Other stuff necessary for gaining clarity for your hunt

Now I'm not going to get you this far and leave you hanging. I'm going to recommend two specific resources to get you to organize your thoughts and get your objectives, goals, dreams, whatever you want to call them down on paper. Only then should you proceed to the next step to write your business card resume and get out there networking.

First Recommended Resource: I highly recommend a book called "Breakthrough: I Hate My Job, Need a Life, Got Laid Off, Can't Get No Satisfaction Solution." I love the title almost as much as I love the book.) The book's written by Jeannette Kraar. I've known this lady for several years. She's a career coach and business consultant that runs South Florida's chapter for Execunet. In chapter 1 and 2 (only the first 30 pages of this 101 page book), she runs you through a set of questions and exercises. They get you to answer some questions then helps you organize your answers for use in developing a resume. Maybe even a business card resume in our case.

I know you'll like her writing style. It's fun, entertaining and most importantly, rock solid for figuring out what you want to accomplish with your job hunt. Get yourself a copy and get going.

Second Recommended Resource: "Guerrilla Resumes" by Kevin Donlin is the second one. His book starts with (oh what a surprise) a section on figuring out where you want to go with your job search and career. In the first three chapters of his book, he provides a questionnaire for doing exactly that. Chapter three is called "Before You Start Writing Your Resume." (I hope you are catching on that all the experts, myself included, recommend setting your goals first so the resume writing step goes smoothly and you get some really good results.) The questions are very specific and then the book continues with the ingredients for creating what he calls the guerrilla resume. He's got a lot of ideas for getting yourself noticed compared to everyone else.

Last week, I started Part 1 of this series talking about how goal setting is the most important step for running an efficient job hunt. You have to have clearly written career goals. As a matter of fact, I've written another articles called "Without Goals, You're Alice in Wonderland." Forgetting to set your goals is not a good thing. In Part 1, I also provided some recommended resources so you can set your goals and get that part of your job search settled. Here is a quote worth repeating from that earlier article,

"...if you even think you are unclear about your job search or career goals, STOP. Spend the time now to figure it out. I mean it. Don't take another step until you've clarified your objectives."


Enough said. So here's the next step. Step 2 - Writing Your Business Card Resume Before your actually write your business card resume let's talk about how you're going to use it. Question: Who is the audience for the business card resume? We can play some Final Jeopardy music here if you like. Think about who gets your business card resume. Who will receive it and what will they do with it? Let me give you a few scenarios:

You're at a networking event and you meet someone.
You're at Starbucks having coffee with someone and a third person comes up to say hello to your guest. You get introduced.
You meet someone who needs something and you want to offer help.


Answer: The person receiving your business card resume is a stranger or close to it. They don't have your contact information, so you are providing them with a way to reach you. The goal of your business card resume is to participate in an interaction with the person to get them to remember you. If you gave it to someone at a networking meeting, you'll be doing some follow up via email, hand written note or a cover letter / resume package to re-enforce its message. It's almost like you gave them a perfume sample like those ladies dish out at the department stores and you follow it up with a second more lasting sample they can connect with the first. (More on this in part 3 of the series.) Sales people use the same technique I'm recommending all the time. They hand out a card with their brand on it so the receiver associates them with their brand. The photocopier sales guy hopes you associate Xerox or Minolta or Canon with them and pass it along to the person at your office in charge of photo copiers. So what do you write on the card. You can check out a few online services for examples so you can picture it. (BTW, I make no money off of these.) The first is Thumbnail Resumes. The second is referenced in a Women for Hire article, a site associated with Tory Johnson from Good Morning, America. I'm not recommending either service, I just want you to see what one of these can look like. After you know what you want on the card, head on out to VistaPrint to get them printed. (It will be hard to beat the VistaPrint price.) One mistake I've seen people make when introducing themselves, and I hope you don't do the same with your card, is to pussyfoot around the issue. Let's get real here. You are looking for work. You are a job hunter, job seeker...unemployed. Sure you may be looking for an opportunity, but let's get real.

You need a job. You want to make sure everyone hearing your message knows that and your goals is to enlist your every contact to help you secure your next job. My recommendation is to keep your message simple. The obvious stuff for your business card resume is your name, phone number (mobile only)preferred email and all other possible ways to reach you. Then deliver a clear message (the one's on those sites are move involved) using the front or possibly the back to:

make it clear you are looking for work (job seeker, resume, seeking employment),
state what sort of work you are looking to get and
announce some key qualifications.

The objective here is not to exhaustively describe yourself, but to condition this person who barely knows you think of you when an opportunity to promote you comes up. So here's a few sample conversation you can have as you exchange cards.

"Hi, my name is Fred Little. I'm looking for work as a Pharmaceutical Rep and would welcome meeting any contacts you may have in that field. Here's my card with some of my background information. May I have your card?" "Hello, I'm Mary Gunter. I'm looking for work as a Systems Administrator. My preference would be larger organizations. Here's my card. Could you put me in contact with people you know who could help me in my search? May I have your card as well?"

On the business cardresume give yourself the title "Job Hunter" or "Job Seeker." An alternative is to display one of the following prominently "Resume" or "Seeking Employment" or "In Search of Work." Then you tell 'em your message. This should be straight forward if you completed Step 1. (Did you complete Step 1? If not, go back to that step by clicking here.) Here are some examples of a sample message:

Customer service, sales associate, problem solver
Network Engineer, solid Cisco certifications, large company experience
Recent college grad, financial analyst, banking experience
Former IBMer, technology sales experience

If you are having a hard time coming up with this message, you can refer to my " Pocket Resume Mentality " article or better yet, consider getting yourself Kevin Donlin's Guerrilla Resume book. Kevin's goal is to promote you with a one page resume. He helps you decide on your message and asks you to consider including logos of organizations you are associated with on your resume. That might be something to consider for this business card resume. Enough for this topic. In Part 3 of this series, coming up next week, I'll cover "Business Card Resume Follow Up and Getting the Interview"

How to Write a Resume For Those Who Don't Know Where to Start

Sitting down to write your first resume can be a mind-baffling event. If only for the fact that this one (or two) sheet of paper can affect whether you get a job or not, writing a resume can be rough. But it doesn't have to be necessarily that bad.

There are tremendous resources available to help you. A great place to start is your local library. But if all those resume guides seem intimidating, start by considering the following points.

You should always begin by conducting a self-assessment. Take a weekend and thoroughly examine what you have done. And by the way, just make it very straightforward; for each job you have held, answer the following questions:

1. What were you most proud of during that time?

2. What was your legacy, or impact, on your work unit?

3. And if you were not there, how would they have been affected?

If some of those answers are hard in coming, a good source can be a confidante, or even your spouse. Ask them if they remember what you bragged about. Also, look at your past evaluations and use the good comments that your supervisors wrote about you. This is all fair game.

And don't forget letters of recommendation and written "attaboy's or attagirl's," these are all good sources of real-time testimonials. I think testimonials, as Kevin uses in Guerrilla Resumes, are great.

As you write the meat of your resume, assuming that you have decided on the format, keep these points in mind:

1. Your results and accomplishments must be quantified. Hiring managers need to see specific results. You should not think because you "only managed 2 people and increased sales revenue from $59,000 to $81,000 while increasing gross margin from 18% to 27%," that the numbers are not impressive; therefore you would be better off being vague. So what if you did not save the company $120 million (if you did, great, write it down), your accomplishments are in context with your job. Be specific.

2. If you are an employee of the month, quarter, year, or have any level of recognition for anything, it should be on your resume. Leave nothing out. Worse, do not let your sense of what is important or trivial guide you. If you are in doubt, use your friends or mentors as sounding boards. If you do not want to do that, use a forum on a job board to ask whether your recognition was trivial or not.

3. You should write your resume for the hiring manager to read. It should not be "stuffed" with keywords because you read that all resumes are scanned into resume scanning software. You should never write your resume for software. But mostly, a resume built around keywords reads funny and weird. Still, scan through the job ad or posting, and pull out a few, important keywords. Sprinkle the keywords around so that they sound natural.

4. Particularly if you are older, you should make note of your computer skills or technical knowledge on your resume. Industries move fast and believe they are always innovating (even if they still stuck in last century), so their main concern with older workers is that the worker is not current. Your resume should immediate remove that one little barrier.

5. You should always use action verbs. More specifically, use action verbs that show you were front, rather than in the group.

Finally, before you do anything else, have someone you trust to be brutally honest review your draft resume. You should join a job club and ask for their opinion. You should also take all criticism with a grain of salt. Do not constantly revise your resume from one person to the other and back again. Once you are satisfied with your resume, tweak it here and there; but keep wholesale revisions to a minimum.

That is until you either get a job or determine the resume is not working.

Guerrilla Marketing in a Tight Job Market

When you need a breakthrough in your job search, it's time to move beyond the normal tactics. In this article, I share three Guerrilla marketing techniques you can apply to your job search. Guerrilla marketing means getting maximum impact with few resources. While the guerilla marketing often evokes images of people painting sidewalks with unusual marketing messages, you must start with the basics of being clear about who you are, what you bring to an employer, the health of your network, and then and only then add the more unusual marketing approaches.

Put on your game face and let's get to work.

Get Clear About Your Value Proposition

Having coached many people in a job transition, the temptation is always to share everything you can do for a potential employer. The thinking is, the more, the better. But put yourself in the place of your potential employer. They care deeply about two general sets of things; the problems you can solve for them and the sales you can make for them. And your future boss cares if you will make him look good.

With that in mind, start with a very clear view of what you bring to a potential employer as your flagship. Don't try to be all things to all people. Have an acute focus.

Once you are clear with yourself about your unique talents, gifts, and solutions, then make sure you are communicating that to potential employers in a language they can understand. It's not about your experience, but how that experience solves the problems they care about. An understanding of what they want from you is essential.

Build Relationships Daily

Every day you have an opportunity to either enhance or diminish relationships. The extent to which you meet the needs and expectations of others, act with integrity, and help them get what they want is a good day. You expand not only your social network, but you build referrals. Focus much more on building referral business than unusual marketing gimmicks since in the end, if you deliver well what you do best, the business will come. What if you've not built good referrals? Start today. Enhance all relationships by getting out of your world and into theirs. And who knows; perhaps a relationship you build today will provide a referral in the future that will open new doors.

Use a Combination of Communication Approaches With Your Network

We live a world where social media such as Facebook or LinkedIn has connected a lot of people. Yes, you should leverage these contacts, but think beyond impersonal electronic media. When was the last time you picked up the phone and connected with someone? Or sent them a greeting card? Enhance relationships made available through electronic media with a combination of more personal approaches. Like growing an orchard, it takes time to nurture the trees, but eventually they will bear fruit. And the fruit will make all the difference in your ability to get a job or grow a business.

Cut Through the Clutter

With a clear idea of what we bring to a potential employer, are growing the health of our network, we're now ready to some unusual methods for cutting through the clutter to help a potential employer see our value to them. How?

Live in marketing.
Offer your services for free for a period of time. Let them see you in action while you build relationships with them. Be clear about what you will deliver in the time frame you're offering. Remember, relationships get built when needs and expectations are met. Manage those expectations.

Use solution language.
Make sure that your resume, cover letter, or other means of communicating with a potential employer speaks directly to their needs, problems, or desires rather than making them connect the dots. Think like a potential employer and rewrite your resume and cover letter. And write different version depending on the type of employer you seek. Doing so will help you get noticed.

Use their keywords.
Every job posting uses keywords that are important to the employer. Make sure your resume and cover letter include those keywords. If they mention "team-oriented problem solver" so should you. I often open cover letters by saying, "the wording in your job posting that mentioned 'team-oriented problem solver' resonates strongly with my 20 years of experience." Then in the cover letter I go on to describe past employer challenges, how I solved them, and the results we got. But I choose the situations I describe from the job posting or my research into the employer themselves.

Summary

You will stand out from the crowd as you get clear about your unique gifts, talents, and solutions you offer a potential employer, grow your network every day, and stand out by approaching them in a way that most don't.

Guerrilla Job Search Tips - How to Find Jobs & Get Hired Faster in a Recession

In any economy, you can find a job faster by doing three simple things:

1) Know the position you want, with absolute clarity, right down to the job title.

2) Know where you want to work, right down to the names of 10-20 ideal employers.

3) Use unconventional "guerrilla" tactics to get noticed -- and get hired.

Here are the stories of two people who did all the above -- and found great jobs -- right in the middle of the current recession.

1) Anyone for Coffee?

Janet FritzHuspen from St. Paul, Minnesota, landed a job after mailing coffee cups to area employers.

That's right -- coffee cups.

Here's what she did ...

FritzHuspen found jobs advertised online, then sent a box with a travel coffee mug, her resume and a cover letter inside. Her letter said, "I would like to meet you over coffee to discuss how I can benefit the ABC Corporation as your director."

"I sent the box via FedEx Ground, so I could track and know when they signed for it. I waited about 20 minutes after it arrived. Then, I called and said, 'Hi. You just got my package!' and I went from there," she says.

FritzHuspen sent three coffee cups in two weeks. "I called and spoke with somebody at all three employers, and had a conversation with one hiring manager that resulted in an interview."

About two weeks later, FritzHuspen got the job!

Here are three ways to make this tactic work for you:

1. Find names and phone numbers of hiring managers on Google or Linkedin.com. Can't get a name? Call and ask the receptionist -- that's what Janet did. Then, she dropped the receptionist's name into the first sentence of her cover letter, by saying, "I spoke with Sally Smith today about ..." This instantly established a rapport with the reader. Smart!

2. Save money on shipping by using FedEx Ground or UPS. Speed is less important than real-time delivery confirmation -- you want to call recipients right after they open your box. This makes an incredible first impression!

3. You can buy travel coffee mugs for under $5 at any department store. So, for about $15, including shipping, you can get on the radar of almost any hiring manager you want to meet. What would that worth be to you?

2) Smart Calling

Gilbert Fonseca from Pharr, Texas, got hired for an insurance sales position very quickly after doing something simple and direct: He called an employer that was expanding, introduced himself, and asked for an interview.

That sounds like cold calling, right? Wrong.

Fonseca did several smart things first, before calling his future boss.

Through research, Fonseca learned his target employer was expanding. And, thanks to his prior job, he knew all about one of their key competitors. A call to company headquarters produced the name and number of the local hiring manager.

"I called the hiring manager and introduced myself. He wasn't too eager to talk, but I did what any job seeker should do -- I sold myself," says Fonseca.

Here's what he said: "Good afternoon Mr. X, my name is Gilbert Fonseca, I live in Pharr, and I heard that you're coming to our area. I wanted to introduce myself and explain how I know about you -- I worked for one of your competitors in the past."

At this point, the hiring manager pushed back and tried to get rid of him. But Fonseca pressed on.

"I know how your products work and I have a big book of business I could bring with me," said Fonseca. This got the manager's attention -- who wouldn't want to hire someone who brings his own customers?

"That's pretty much where the conversation ended," said Fonseca, who got the names of other hiring managers and was told to call them.

No interviews resulted, so Fonseca pursued other leads. But two weeks later he got a call. "The hiring manager said that things had changed and I was asked to come in. I interviewed on Tuesday and had the job on Wednesday," he says.

Here are three things to keep in mind as you "smart call" for interviews:

1. Tell employers -- specifically -- what you've done before and can do again. Example: "I've saved more than $90,000 a year the last three years and can do the same for you." Do your homework and assign a dollar value to any time you've saved or money you've earned.

Alternately, drop the name of a competitor they hate, a client they'd love to have, or something valuable you can bring -- that's what Fonseca did. How can you help? Be specific!

2. Follow a script. It can ease your nerves to read from a piece of paper. Just be sure to practice until the words flow smoothly.

3. The worst that can happen when you call employers is ... they say no. Nobody dies or goes to jail. But you may land a job interview. All you have to do is ask.

Chances are, you've never thought of sending coffee cups or "smart calling" employers. But these Guerrilla Job Search tactics work, as the stories above demonstrate.

Why not give them a try today?

Soon after 9 months of looking for a job, 1 Boston man just recently made a straight-forward improvement in his employment hunt and was basically offered a different job just a month later.

And here is the actual story...

Rob Lynch, from Boston Massachusetts, finished what he believed was actually a well crafted comprehensive resume. However, Rob stated, "every single time I mailed it out, most people would likely propose modifications to me. After I gave it out at a job fair, they would say, 'Thank you' and then file it away promptly." He had not been receiving message or calls from recruiters.

Sound familiar?

Rob uncovered an effective way to make improvements to his resume, that actually raised his self-confidence, which, subsequently, generated far more job interviews, in a perpetual circle in which it eventually got him employed within a month.

Precisely what did he actually do?

"I simply decided on utilizing a Guerrilla Resume. It truly was straightforward to create and it provided me with self-confidence, by having a resume which I believed was awesome and that I could very well hand it out to virtually anyone," says Rob.

The Guerrilla Resume, a whole new type of resume, usually just one page long and features a couple of important elements:

1. company logos right from former employers, educational institutions, or even associations;
2. quotes by men and women in tune with your work, for example supervisors or perhaps valued clients.

Let us take a look at all of them in more detail...

1. Logos

Simple fact: Your brain would prefer to view imagery than read. (Just what is worth a thousand words?)

For this reason a few logos or awards could certainly strengthen your resume. They hook the reader's attention, allowing an emotional link with the hiring manager as well as piggybacking on any other kind of encouraging emotions involving those logos.

All this happening well before they even read a word of your resume.

Might you get in trouble for utilizing logos? Not in my opinion.

Justification: You are not making use of these images to market a single thing. Keep in mind, I am not an attorney and this isn't legal advice. If uncertain, inquire approval when utilizing a logo design or any other image.

2. Quotes right from former supervisors or former valued clients.

Rob made use of a few quotes as part of his Guerrilla Resume. Quotes get noticed simply because they're third-party recommendations for you, similar to testimonials from others in a Television infomercial.

How to find them? Rob got his when he asked is co-workers if he could use them as a reference. They usually said "yes" and then also added something like the following.

"I would certainly put in a good reference. You were very efficient and hardworking."

"Of course, of course, of course, a great reference you would get from me. You are definitely a team player. I would be happy to work with you again."

--- perhaps you should take advantage of those quotes within your resume?

This is what took place just after Rob overhauled his resume.

Rob stated, "The following day I decided to go to a career fair in Boston. I stepped up to one employer and passed my resume to her. She honestly grabbed my hand, leaned over, and stated, 'This is really a wonderful resume.' I realized at that time that I had something great."

Precisely what he acquired was in fact self-confidence, which in-turn enhanced every aspect of his job hunt.

Think about just how simple it truly is to act once you *know* you can, instead of while you are uncertain. It's the change which can make all the difference.

"With the help of the brand new resume, I acquired total self-confidence with what I had been doing. The moment I began giving my resume to other people -- employers, hiring supervisors, whoever -- no-one wanted to modify it. I noticed most of them wanted to give me an opportunity, which was totally different," says Rob.

The position Rob ultimately accepted ended up being from Suffolk Building Corporation. Rob applied on a Wednesday, together with 36 other applicants. The unique resume instantaneously jumped up for the hiring supervisor, says Rob, who actually was first called back on the following Friday and interviewed on that Monday. A 2nd job interview then followed on Thursday and Rob was offered a position the following day -- nine days after applying.

A powerful eye-catching resume can certainly deliver the very same type of confidence boost you may possibly enjoy right after purchasing a new tie or perhaps a suit. If clothes make the man, can a Guerrilla Resume make the job hunt?

Obviously, without a doubt.

At this point. You have basically been presented the key to developing your own Guerrilla Resume: incorporate logos as well as quotes. You can certainly accomplish it by yourself, right away.

It is all out war in finding good companies to work for these days. As people scramble for an edge in winning out over other candidates, there are some rules of the hunt that are truly different. There are many articles and advisors who can claim professional expertise in what it takes to find the right job, and much of the advice is sound for many people. The truth is that just about any method people use to find work will eventually lead to positive results as long as the person is willing to persist in looking. Business opportunities are as diverse as the people who run them, and there is a place for just about every type of person imaginable, but the devil is in the details. This article will examine common advice, and expose some of the hidden facts everyone should know about moving forward.

Many advisors discuss the value of resumes, cover letters, newspapers, job boards, networking with friends and business associates, pounding the pavement, working with recruiting firms, and other methods that are by no means new or different. People have been using all these methods for years with varying degrees of results. Unless one is just starting out for the first time, these kinds of "secrets" to a better career are just a perpetual rehashing of what everyone serious about finding work already knows and tries on a regular basis. Using an analogy, unless people use less obvious methods, any standard tactics used in the hunt will be like walking shoulder to shoulder through the woods with a sea of other hunters, all trying to get a shot at the same target. Somebody will eventually take home the prize, but it will be full of lead by the time they get it out of the woods. Creative new approaches can be recognized by the fact that there are not a thousand other places talking about the same thing.

Effective, successful career advancement happens by a combination of design and providence. To find a job that lasts, at least two things must happen. There must be a person who is willing to perform the tasks, and someone willing to allow them the opportunity to try. Though employers may be looking for the mythical long and stable work history, the truth is that corporate tactics have changed so drastically over the last decade, it is unusual to find people who have worked in the same place for more than five years, much less their entire career. Increasingly, companies do not appreciate job seekers dropping off a resume in person, calling about possible openings, or trying to establish direct contacts with individuals within the firm, unless they are first invited by the company to do so.

The present day workplace is becoming more focused on accomplishing finite tasks than developing jobs with well defined and long term potential. Where historical patterns called for long term relationships, mutual trust, and solid foundations to achieve successful business practices, today's business model is based on flexibility, speed, and expendable personnel to accomplish company goals. This transitional model calls for fast hiring of certain skill sets, and equally as fast dissolution of business units when less expensive resources can be acquired to do the same thing. All this boils down to people wondering what they did wrong to wind up on the unemployment line, when the truth is that the "hidden agenda" of American business is to keep the income flowing to the top levels of the organization, while minimizing the costs of doing business.

In the current business environment, the best way to get an inside contact with a company is through a recruiting firm, or a direct application to the company by way of an internet site for the company of interest. By applying directly to specific companies via the internet, the crowd of people using job boards, newspaper ads, and other indirect resources do not make as strong an impact, presuming the company is focused on using their internet site as a primary resource for connecting with new talent. If a company can find a talented person with the right skill sets, they would much rather hire that person directly rather than filtering them through a recruiter or employment firm, which take a big cut for locating qualified candidates.

One little noted method for locating work is to conduct a fact finding mission within companies that are hiring, or interviewing candidates. Whether or not they are currently looking for a particular type of skills, they can be rich sources for finding potential leads that will result in opportunity. Since nearly every company has direct competitors, and few are shy about mentioning who their customers and competitors are, building lists of other companies to call on can be as simple as having one interview with a single company of interest. If a candidate is willing to probe a bit for this type of information during an interview, most company representatives will jump at the chance to explain why their organization is better than another, and give names of both competing businesses and customers who purchase their services.

Some will even post propaganda within the office to encourage workers to strive for a higher standard of excellence than the rival company. For the job seeker, some of the best leads on who might be hiring come with following the competitive stream of a single company along its business customer and supply chains. In some cases, it can be beneficial to mention having visited with specific people inside an organization that is familiar to another company, especially if these companies are on good terms with each other. Surprisingly, many people do not often think to exploit leads they discover in the course of interviews. Instead, they simply wait to hear back about the job they interviewed for, and drop the lead off if they are not successful.

For people with more diverse skill sets, success can come from skillfully demonstrating a willingness to apply their talents to the activity that is most beneficial to a company. One should never "switch gears" during a job interview by showing more interest in some other position than the one they have come to be interviewed for, but it is never wrong to leave the impression of greater potential, and let the company draw its own conclusions about where a candidate might best fit into the organization. In this way, one level of rejection can become a higher level of acceptance over time.

Another important and little known tactic in the hunt for work is to clearly understand who the players will be in an interview. The focus, scope, and approach of a professional human resources interviewer will be far different from that of a manager, supervisor, or business owner. How your resume will be assessed by a formal personnel department, may be radically different than the interpretation of a "hands on" owner or business manager. Though the questions asked during an interview may be similar in both cases, the expectations and skills required for success may be completely different. Business leaders are far more likely to determine a candidate's suitability by the impression they get from personality and enthusiasm. Human resources personnel use a more detached, mechanical, and methodical approach to hiring practices. These people try to put on blinders to personality traits, and home in on pure skill sets that can be tested and measured.

The process of successful job searching is in knowing where personal talents can be applied, and what sort of positions require those talents. Narrowing the search too much by seeking after a specific job title can close doors on otherwise suitable alternatives. Being formally unemployed should not necessarily hinder people from using their continuing experiences to fill in the gaps. While unemployed, nearly everyone does something that belongs on a resume to demonstrate further development of their skills. If a personal activity involves utilizing job worthy skills, it should be included as part of the flow in occupational history. This can include highly skilled hobbies, volunteer work, free consulting services, church leadership, or other activities that might just as easily have been done for pay.

Leaving big gaps in a resume not only causes unwelcome scrutiny and questions, it also causes self doubts to be raised which are absolutely unnecessary. Unless a person is completely inert during unemployed periods, there is no reason to leave a potential employer with the impression that this was the case. A human being's "worth" does not disappear with the paycheck; only their level of recognition. To find a truly creative approach to job hunting, try including some tactics that are not being used by everyone else. Follow the line of least resistance, for the highest yield your skills can achieve.

Unemployment numbers are looking pretty bleak. Everyday the news seems to bring more stories of large and small companies alike laying off thousands of workers. As of this writing in January 2009 we are looking at a pretty tight job market. I saw a newswire story about a job fair for one company held in suburban Detroit. Four thousand people showed up for the one day event. I know due to the downturn in automotive sales that their region is hurting, but the job outlook seems to be pretty bleak just about everywhere. In this kind of competitive market, what can one due to stand out among all the other job seekers? Here are 2 job hunting strategies that will make you stand out.

(1) Your own website. Everyone puts their resume on line now, and so everyone has an email address and maybe a profile page at the large job posting portals. You should be using Facebook and MySpace to network in your industry, but not everybody has their own website. I think this is especially important if you are looking for any type of technical work. I would suggest you get a dot com domain name that includes your own name in it. Like bobsmithaccountant.com or technicalwriterbillgates.com Anything that includes your name. Get your name if it is available. Go to someplace like godaddy.com to purchase a domain name. Go someplace like hostgator.com for a cheap hosting account. There a a lot of tutorials about buying domains and c panel hosting on line. Twenty dollars will get you going.

Use 1 of the millions of templates available and learn how to customize it a little. Hire an inexpensive web designer if you can afford it. Instead of the usual pages found in a business website, you can have a pages for education, accomplishments, your family life, goals, work history...anything that might tell a potential employer about you. Tailor your web design to the type of job you are looking for. An engineer will want their site to look clean and functional. A floral designer will want a more artistic design. Then you can plaster your web name everywhere on line that allows a link. Include it on your resume and Read the snext strategy here.

(2) Send a useful item with your name and or domain name on it to prospective employers. This is like personal advertising. I am stealing a page from the advertising industry here. Millions of businesses advertise themselves by putting their names on matchbooks, pens, calenders, shoe horns, key chains, hats, mouse pads, almost any item you can think of. I think this works best on a local level. Let's say you are a jewelry salesman looking for a job. Buy customized eye loupes or diamond tweezers or polishing cloths with your name, number and job title printed on them. Include your website address if you followed step 1 above. Then simply stop by every jewelry store in your area, ask for the manager, introduce yourself and leave the gifts and your resume. Easy.

If you are a SAP Trainer, or other software professional, mouse pads work very well. You need to tailor the items you are dropping off to the industry, but pens and mouse pads work almost anywhere. Are you a landscaper? How about work gloves with a little label sewn to it? I can think of dozens of items for almost any type of job. If you don't have the bucks, how about a $5 pizza with your resume taped to it. Drop it off at lunch time. I bet they read your resume. These are just 2 ideas to help get your creative juices flowing. Now get out there and get that job!
