December can be a great month for landing new opportunities, so don't give up on your job search during the holiday season. Via deborah johns, Andy Senko CDP
Trish Sadar's insight:
Finding a job is like a race, and you are competing amongst thousands of qualified candidates.
December is a month of opportunity, because alot of people slow down or stop their job hunting until after the holidays.
Remember, standing apart from the competition and getting noticed in a positive light is the key to landing the interview.
So.....what is your strategy for December going to be? Would love to hear from you!

Trish Sadar's insight:
10 super tips to follow.
I particulary agree with the importance of a candidate's online image!
I was talking to one of my students last week, and he couldn't believe that recruiters and hiring managers actually take the time to check someone's online image. He asked me what can I do about it.
Well, there are a couple of things....
1. Clean up the images, language, photographs online. You can do this manually, and there is also software out there such as facewash that some students have successfully used as a starting point.
2. What your friends do online -- if they are associated with you, then it is a reflection on your brand online.
Also, hiring managers want to select candidates who are professional and are excellent role models for their brands.
So before you start applying online...take a look at what your online footprint says about you.
Please let us know what you think.

Are you asking the right questions to help you reach your potential? When it comes to our careers, if we hit a bump in the road .....take a deep breath, pause, and find out the type of questions you are asking yourself.
Let me explan...If we are in the excuse zone, the entitlement zone, or the assumption zone -- they all lead to a dead end.
Sample of the Wrong Questions:
Why aren't they calling me back, I am perfect for that job or
Why don't they ever promote me....I am more qualified than that person
The above are examples of wrong questions because we are pointing our fingers at everyone else, and we only have control over our own actions.
Sample of Right Questions:
What can I do to increase the chances of my resume being seen and getting a call back?
How can I find out what I need to learn in order to be considered for the next promotion?
So if you want to feel more empowered on what you can do about your career mobility....I urge you to start asking the What and How questions because we need to take the wheel and decide to own our careers.
Hope this helps....while the solutions may not guarantee positive results, you will feel empowered to take action. When one approach doesn't work, keep asking the right questions and changing your approach.
Make it a great day!

I've put together the most common reasons why a recruiter writes a candidate off. You may not like what you read, but they all can be improved upon.
Funny however truthful article!
I can't tell you how many times managers have not hired someone:
-Who talked too much, interrupted, and was a poor listener.
-Did not present themselves as professional in attire and grooming.
-Did not have good eye contact and body language.
-Had a limp handshake.
-Arrived late and had alot of excuses.
-Did not do their homework, lacked preparation about the position and the company.
-Came across as overly confident.
-Who was not a teamplayer.
-Talked down to the interviewer.
-Who was rude to passing employees.
-Parked in the wrong spot in the parking lot, and did not follow instructions.
-Talked poorly about past employers and bosses.
-Asked about drug testing.
-Talked about vacation time and pay raises during the first interview.
....
I want you to see this process like a race and you are competing against other capable and experienced runners. If you want to be hired, you have to be willing to do more than others to prepare and to ace the interview. Simply doing what others do may not be enough.
Besides your experience and skills....why would the hiring manager hire you? If you don't know -- how will the hiring manager know?
We would love to hear some of your suggestions that have helped youace the interview and land the job!
Make it a great day!

One of the biggest mistakes I hear about is that people signup to be on a social media site and then they don't complete their profile which reduces their effectiveness. Yes- it's important to fully complete your profile.
