Comments on: 10 New Year’s Career Resolutions For Job Seekers http://innerarchitect.com/2008/12/31/10-new-years-career-resolutions-for-job-seekers/ Mon, 23 Apr 2012 02:31:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: dean http://innerarchitect.com/2008/12/31/10-new-years-career-resolutions-for-job-seekers/comment-page-1/#comment-926 dean Sat, 03 Jan 2009 19:25:19 +0000 http://innerarchitect.com/?p=2099#comment-926 GL, I would love to see your book pdf. Please do email me a copy. I appreciate the offer and look forward to learning more about you. I am in agreement that more hiring managers, HR people, and OD professionals should avail themselves of blogs and Linkedin networking. The key here is that more companies are launching blogs than ever before and more are on the way. If a company blogs and builds community via social media they should be utilizing the same tools in their search for human capital. As more hiring managers go online to find their next job candidate, we are seeing a shift in the importance and credibility of the resume. Resumes are still a part of the process but they are no longer the most important part of the process of finding a job. The sea change is coming. It will be interesting to see how the first adopters compare against people who resist the changes we are witnessing today. Thanks again GL! GL,

There have been so many cliche driven career sites out there that many current job searchers think they are not relevant. At www.whatwoulddadsay.com I write about some real world job-related experiences I have had as well as just random thoughts from someone who, most likely, is older than what they are...wow, what a sentence! My hope is that along with my randomness and humor, they pick up an idea or two. As far as blogging as a resume or as part of their employment campaign, I think you may be on to something, too. If HR people only spend 20 seconds on each resume, will they likely find and read blogs in order to understand the candidate better? They should, because this is a very interesting media in that it allows people to almost look inside a candidate and see how she or he thinks. And writes. I just wrote a book, Dean, called DIG YOUR JOB. I would be happy to email you the pdf version if you need a new resource in your work or writing. Let me know. Hi Dave,

Thank you for the kind words and feedback. I agree it is a frustrating time for most job seekers. I also agree that most job seekers are completely unfamiliar with what we are calling the new trend in job search. I am hoping that people understand that they must continue to educate themselves. I am also hoping that people begin to realize that they need a differentiating factor which helps them stand out from the competition. What do you think is the answer to moving people to adoption of Web 2.0 social media tools and blogging for their employment campaign? Thanks again for your consideration. Dean Hi GL,

IF more people did as you suggest, I am sure they would have more success during this frustrating time. The big problem is that most job seekers seldom have to go through this process, and there are things to learn and act upon.
