Tips for job seekers
Thanks, Allison, for sharing these job search tips:
"LOS ANGELES, CA -- To land a job over the competition, you have to work smarter. The hard part is to get your resume into the hands of the hiring manager first! Good jobs aren't on the market very long. To succeed your resume has to be available to the employer the moment they decide to fill a position.
One easy way to be found by employers who are looking to hire someone with your skills, is to post your resume on all the top career websites. As soon as an employer needs someone, this is the first place they look. It's a proven, documented method of successful job searching. While it may take a fair amount of time to find and fill out the forms of all these websites, you will definitely multiply your chances of landing a job."
Is your resume as unique as you are?
Abridged: SF Examiner
"SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- Job seekers commonly tackle resume writing from the same stance with which they would undertake completing a job application. It's important to realize that the purpose of a resume differs greatly from the purpose of a job application. Your resume is a marketing tool and as such should focus on your accomplishments and achievements in the workplace.
While your resume will contain information which describes your typical job duties, the bulk of the resume should illustrate the unique contributions you made to the overall success of the organization. Your resume must portray those behaviors that will interest a potential employer, the behaviors that lead to career success. These are the attributes that look best on a resume. A job application falls short when it comes to assessing a candidate's soft skills. As you construct your resume, keep these qualities in mind and find ways to demonstrate them. Your resume should be a snapshot of who you are as an employee.
Remember, you are not your job title. Your job description does not define you. Each of us possesses a wealth of experiences and knowledge as well as a unique perspective. These are the characteristics that set you apart from other job seekers. Your resume is your way of introducing a potential employer to all of those wonderful traits and aptitudes that make you who you are. Your resume should be as unique as your thumbprint."
Five tips for your job search
Abridged: KansasCity.com
"KANSAS CITY, KS -- It's hard to get noticed in this job market...and it's even harder to land a job. Here are five tips to weather the down time from Beth Kobliner, author of Get a Financial Life: Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties. Her book is aimed at young workers, but the advice is good for all generations.
Plan on an average job search taking six months; don't get discouraged if something doesn't happen immediately. Go out on your own. If you can't find a job, try to create one, building on the skills you have to offer. Go back to school. Focus on classes that will help your career readiness, including building computer skills you may not have.
Consider part-time or temporary work and sign up with staffing agencies. It may help get your foot in the door for a full-time position later. Relocate. If there's nothing for you where you live now, move to where the prospects are better. Nearly one in five people who landed jobs this summer moved to do so, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas."

When You Are Low on Hope
Today's devotional:
When You Are Low on Hope
From A Love Worth Giving
Copyright (Thomas Nelson, 2002) by Max Lucado
"Water. All Noah can see is water. The evening sun sinks into it. The clouds are reflected in it. His boat is surrounded by it. Water. Water to the north. Water to the south. Water to the east. Water to the west. Water.
He sent a raven on a scouting mission; it never returned. He sent a dove. It came back shivering and spent, having found no place to roost. Then, just this morning, he tried again. With a prayer he let it go and watched until the bird was no bigger than a speck on a window.
All day he looked for the dove’s return.
Now the sun is setting, and the sky is darkening, and he has come to look one final time, but all he sees is water. Water to the north. Water to the south. Water to the east. Water to the …
You know the feeling. You have stood where Noah stood. You’ve known your share of floods. Flooded by sorrow at the cemetery, stress at the office, anger at the disability in your body or the inability of your spouse. You’ve seen the floodwater rise, and you’ve likely seen the sun set on your hopes as well. You’ve been on Noah’s boat.
And you’ve needed what Noah needed; you’ve needed some hope. You’re not asking for a helicopter rescue, but the sound of one would be nice. Hope doesn’t promise an instant solution but rather the possibility of an eventual one. Sometimes all we need is a little hope.
That’s all Noah needed. And that’s all Noah received.
Here is how the Bible describes the moment: “When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf!” (Gen. 8:11 NIV).
An olive leaf. Noah would have been happy to have the bird but to have the leaf! This leaf was more than foliage; this was promise. The bird brought more than a piece of a tree; it brought hope. For isn’t that what hope is? Hope is an olive leaf—evidence of dry land after a flood. Proof to the dreamer that dreaming is worth the risk.
Don’t we love the olive leaves of life?
“It appears the cancer may be in remission.”
“I can help you with those finances.”
“We’ll get through this together.”
What’s more, don’t we love the doves that bring them?
Perhaps that’s the reason so many loved Jesus.
To all the Noahs of the world, to all who search the horizon for a fleck of hope, he proclaims, “Yes!” And he comes. He comes as a dove. He comes bearing fruit from a distant land, from our future home. He comes with a leaf of hope.
Have you received yours? Don’t think your ark is too isolated. Don’t think your flood is too wide. Receive his hope, won’t you? Receive it because you need it. Receive it so you can share it.
Love always hopes. “Love … bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things” (1 Cor. 13:4–7 NKJV)."

1. Inspiration: Commit to the Lord All You Do, and Your Plans Will Succeed
"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." -- Proverbs 16:3
This verse appears beneath my biography on the last page of my book, "Market-Ready in Minimum Time." What a great promise! What a simple formula! When I think about this verse I substitute "all you do" for "whatever you do." "All you do" seems more encompassing.
Today, I ask you to pray about your own situation. Have you committed "all you do" to the Lord? I'm speaking to those of you who have been in your search for several months; I'm also speaking to those of you who are early in your search. For those of you who are just getting started out, I implore you to save yourselves some time and heartache by examining your life and making the changes God wants you to make.
"Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you -- unless, of course, you fail the test? And I trust that you will discover that we have not failed the test." -- 2 Corinthians 13:5-6.
Paul was writing to the church in Corinth, which was the Las Vegas or New Orleans of his day. The Corinthians wanted to have it both ways; they wanted to be both secular and spiritual.
For those of you who've been at this for a while, examine all that you do to see if it is pleasing to God. I often ask a client or JobSeeker, "What does God want you to learn from this?" When you get the answer to that question, you've taken a step in the right direction -- the direction of His will.
A while back I met with two troubled JobSeekers on a Saturday morning. One said he had taken some giant strides in his spiritual journey. He was learning and growing in the Lord, but only after he'd been in the midst of his job search for many agonizing months. I asked him what he'd learned. He said, "I learned that God loves us so much that he won't let us move forward until we learn what he wants us to learn." Soon after, Phil found a great job at a large Atlanta employer.
A few weeks ago someone came to my office in a great mood, and he's been looking for a job for way too long. He told me he has a renewed relationship with the Lord and that he had recently learned, as Philippians 4:13 says, that he can do all things through Christ.
Friends, do something selfish. Commit your life to the Lord -- every aspect of your life. I pray that things won't get so bad for you and your family that you have nowhere else to turn but to God, but for some people that is what it takes. God has an abundant life in store for you. He is full of grace and mercy. And he wants you to experience his peace, power and prosperity.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." -- Jeremiah 29:11
See you tomorrow at JobSeekers, where we commit ourselves to the Lord!

2. Success Story: Cajide Adopts the Right Attitude, Keeps the Faith, Snatches Victory from the Jaws of Defeat
We love to hear from you when you land a new position. Please write and let us know how you found your job, what you learned from the experience, and how JobSeekers helped you.
Here's the story of someone who was in the midst of his job search for many agonizing months. With just one JobSeekers meeting, he got the wake up call he needed to drive his search with a new attitude. Congratulations and God bless you Al!
- - - - - - -
Hello Dave,
You may not remember me as I only attended one meeting but this is all it took, honestly. I'm now in my first week with Alpha Logistics Services as their new Director of Operations for North America in Orlando.
Dave, I have you and your staff to thank for this opportunity. I learned in this one meeting to stop blaming everyone else for my unfortunate situation – unemployed, experiencing job loss after 28 years with DHL. I was laid off in January and when I attended the meeting in July, I was still in mourning for my loss! I was in denial, bargaining – looking for excuses why I couldn't find a job including anger, depression and lack of acceptance of my situation.
I actually stopped feeling sorry for myself after leaving my first visit to JobSeekers. I was asking myself the following questions: Did I inadvertently contribute to the situation? Was there anything I could have done differently to avoid the loss of job? Being able to respond confidently, "no," I walked out of the meeting with a different mindset. Now I was asking: What did I learn at my job in 28 years, and how can I apply this experience in my next job?
I remember you mentioning to the group that you once called a job seeker at home and you could hear the Oprah TV show in the background. This was a wake up call for me; I needed to recognize that in order to find a job, I needed to get off my a**! I had worked hard for six months looking for a job – or maybe I wanted to believe I did?
I soon realized I had not done everything possible and was only hindering my opportunities of finding a job if I continued to be complacent – comfortable that there was nothing I could do but wait for an offer! I had contacted all the saved names in my cell phone, looked through our address book, checked out all the saved names in my computer in box, and worked four or five hours a day or more searching, applying for jobs online, talking with neighbors, friends, acquaintances but nothing. However, I must admit that the fire under me was fading rapidly and it was your class, invited speakers, other members' inspiration, prayers, faith in GOD that rekindled the fire for me again.
Here's how I found this job: I had followed a lead from a friend of mine that used to work at DHL and I was actually quite excited about my chances since I was in my third and final interview for a General Manager's position with a company in the transportation sector. At the end of the interview I was informed that the company was not moving forward with me as the ideal candidate and I was kindly thanked for my time.
I used this opportunity as a positive instead of a negative. I kindly returned the gratitude to the interviewer for his time and consideration than asked politely if the interviewer would help me with my future job search by explaining why I wasn't chosen for the position. I wanted an honest, objective response and knew in advance that regardless of the comments, never interrupt the interviewer. Upon completion, although I was not fully in agreement but understanding the reason, I kindly thanked the interviewer for his honest response.
When I got home from the interview I just simply forwarded the interviewer a follow-up email, thanking him for the consideration of job, for his honest and objective response about the reasons why I was not chosen and asked to be kept in consideration for future opportunities. Here I also added, if he knew of any similar industry contacts that might be in need of someone with my background and experience. Two days later this interviewer forwarded me an e-mail address and phone number for Alpha Logistics, now my current employment opportunity.
It seems that I may not have been the right candidate for the first job but my graceful exit and follow-up e-mail was sufficient for another opportunity. My point being that even when all things look bleak, with the right attitude, follow-up and faith, you can snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
I encourage each and every one of my JobSeeker friends and members to keep the faith; keep attending every Friday, accept the current situation you find yourself in today and recognize it is not your fault. However, you must also accept ownership responsibility of finding a job and never break the network chain.
My best to all; my prayers will be with you and family, hoping for timely employment opportunities.
Sincerely,
Al Cajide

I soon realized I had not done everything possible and was only hindering my opportunities of finding a job if I continued to be complacent – comfortable that there was nothing I could do but wait for an offer! I had contacted all the saved names in my cell phone, looked through our address book, checked out all the saved names in my computer in box, and worked four or five hours a day or more searching, applying for jobs online, talking with neighbors, friends, acquaintances but nothing. However, I must admit that the fire under me was fading rapidly and it was your class, invited speakers, other members' inspiration, prayers, faith in GOD that rekindled the fire for me again.
Here's how I found this job: I had followed a lead from a friend of mine that used to work at DHL and I was actually quite excited about my chances since I was in my third and final interview for a General Manager's position with a company in the transportation sector. At the end of the interview I was informed that the company was not moving forward with me as the ideal candidate and I was kindly thanked for my time.
I used this opportunity as a positive instead of a negative. I kindly returned the gratitude to the interviewer for his time and consideration than asked politely if the interviewer would help me with my future job search by explaining why I wasn't chosen for the position. I wanted an honest, objective response and knew in advance that regardless of the comments, never interrupt the interviewer. Upon completion, although I was not fully in agreement but understanding the reason, I kindly thanked the interviewer for his honest response.
When I got home from the interview I just simply forwarded the interviewer a follow-up email, thanking him for the consideration of job, for his honest and objective response about the reasons why I was not chosen and asked to be kept in consideration for future opportunities. Here I also added, if he knew of any similar industry contacts that might be in need of someone with my background and experience. Two days later this interviewer forwarded me an e-mail address and phone number for Alpha Logistics, now my current employment opportunity.
It seems that I may not have been the right candidate for the first job but my graceful exit and follow-up e-mail was sufficient for another opportunity. My point being that even when all things look bleak, with the right attitude, follow-up and faith, you can snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
I encourage each and every one of my JobSeeker friends and members to keep the faith; keep attending every Friday, accept the current situation you find yourself in today and recognize it is not your fault. However, you must also accept ownership responsibility of finding a job and never break the network chain.
My best to all; my prayers will be with you and family, hoping for timely employment opportunities.
Sincerely,
Al Cajide

Be sure to register and use the Crossroads Career website!
There’s great material to guide you through the process of preparing yourself and developing a plan for finding a job that fits your unique talents and experiences.
