Hope for the holidays
GEN-ers, today's post comes from Dave O'Farrell, who leads Jobseekers of Peachtree City. We hope his message blesses and encourages you.
As Christmas Day approaches, our prayer is that the love of God surrounds you and yours, and that the light of His precious son, Jesus, will illuminate the path before you. There is always hope, because we have a mighty Savior!
In His service,
Lynn
From Dave O'Farrell:
1. Inspiration: He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
– Isaiah 9:6
I realize many of you are experiencing a sense of loss, or loneliness, or hurt, or fear, or frustration, or even desperation on this Christmas Eve.
When the prophet Isaiah wrote the verse above 2700 years ago, he was addressing the concerns of the troubled nation of Israel. Five verses prior he writes: "Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress." He continues to write about those in the midst of darkness, death, burdens and oppression. Then he offers his message of hope.
Hope is available to all of us through the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Experience the hope of the Wonderful Counselor. Tap into the power of the Mighty God. Lie in the arms of the Everlasting Father. Feel the love of the Prince of Peace.
I encourage you to attend a Christmas Eve service tonight.
If you don't have a church home, or if you wish to attend a service with a friend, call me on my cell phone: 770-823-2710. I'm a member of Peachtree City United Methodist at 225 Robinson Road. Our services are at 5:00, 7:00 and 9:00. I'm planning on attending the 9:00 service, but I'll meet you at any one of these services 30 minutes before it starts. Just call me on my cell and we'll make arrangements.
May the love of the Holy Child of Bethlehem abide in your heart, and may the Prince of Peace fill you with hope and joy in this Christmas season. Amen.

2. Success Story: When Hope Was Lost, a Job Was Found
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.
This message came several weeks ago, but it fits right in with the message of hope for today.
And speaking of hope, don't forget that many employers are under pressure to fill jobs by the end of the year. Put extra effort into your search between now and then. While others are sitting on the sidelines, you may be interviewing for your next job. Last year, Matt Dukes applied for a job and scheduled an interview on Christmas Eve; he interviewed the day after Christmas and started a new job on the first business day of January.
Let me know if and when you have a similar experience. (Hope so!)
- - - - - - -
Hey Dave, I got a job!
Don't lose heart. Don't lose hope. Keep your chin up. NETWORK! Pray!
How many times have I heard those words from Dave, Mike Miller and Linda???
But I did lose hope, and heart. I just couldn't play the "looking for a job" game anymore. My network looked like it was dead. I was so stressed out and discouraged I didn't want to keep doing this. I finally sought some counseling and prayed – a lot! I bombed on an interview for a position I really wanted at a targeted company.
God finally answered me. God's time – not my time. Your message, trust God that good things are happening, even when it seems they aren't, speaks volumes. The interview I thought I bombed, well NCR made me an offer this morning! All thanks to a former co-worker who passed my resume on.
Thanks Dave for the great resume, for all the moral support, guidance and kindness you have shown me. I appreciate all the support I also received from Reverend Howard Tisdale, Linda and Mike.

Google Voice
GEN-ers, our thanks to Jeff for sending this info about Google Voice, a free service. As Jeff says, "To summarize; it is a single phone number with voice mail that you can give out to people to call. You have to login and configure it, but you can basically add as many phone numbers to the account as you wish. Then when someone calls that number you can direct the account to forward the calls to 1 to many phones simultaneously. I forward to my cell, my skype and for family my home phone. The number also accepts Text messages, which you can turn on or off forwarding.
Here is a video.

New ways to post your CV/resume
Thanks, Jeff, for sending the following:
"I found this site the other day, and thought it was really useful. http://www.visualcv.com
My resume is at http://www.visualcv.com/theartoftech.
What I find very cool about this given site is that you can add presentations (I did a quick PPT on myself) and/or youTube videos, maybe of yourself presenting a particular topic as additional information, or a way to sell yourself. Which is why I asked the question last week about video cover letters. Anyway, I think this site might not be great for initial contact.. but might be useful for someone that you know as a friend who has introduced you to a decision maker at a given company. These scenarios I would think lend themselves to a higher degree of time spent with a given resume.
Anyway I am testing this theory with a neighbor's company who I didn't get anywhere doing the normal resume submittal thing through his HR department. I will let you know how it goes."

Use LinkedIn to Get a Job
from "How to Change the World, A practical blog for impractical people," located at http://blog.guykawasaki.com/2009/02/10-ways-to-use.html#ixzz0ZJuT1UMQ

Ten Ways to Use LinkedIn to Find a Job
Searching for a job can suck if you constrain yourself to the typical tools such as online jobs boards, trade publications, CraigsList, and networking with only your close friends. In these kinds of times, you need to use all the weapons that you can, and one that many people don’t—or at least don’t use to the fullest extent, is LinkedIn.
LinkedIn has over thirty-five million members in over 140 industries. Most of them are adults, employed, and not looking to post something on your Wall or date you. Executives from all the Fortune 500 companies are on LinkedIn. Most have disclosed what they do, where they work now, and where they’ve worked in the past. Talk about a target-rich environment, and the service is free.
Here are ten tips to help use LinkedIn to find a job. If you know someone who’s looking for a job, forward them these tips along with an invitation to connect on LinkedIn. Before trying these tips, make sure you’ve filled out your profile and added at least twenty connections
1.Get the word out. Tell your network that you’re looking for a new position because a job search these days requires the “law of big numbers” There is no stigma that you’re looking right now, so the more people who know you’re looking, the more likely you’ll find a job. Recently, LinkedIn added “status updates” which you can use to let your network know about your newly emancipated status.
2.Get LinkedIn recommendations from your colleagues. A strong recommendation from your manager highlights your strengths and shows that you were a valued employee. This is especially helpful if you were recently laid off, and there is no better time to ask for this than when your manager is feeling bad because she laid you off. If you were a manager yourself, recommendations from your employees can also highlight leadership qualities.
3.Find out where people with your backgrounds are working. Find companies that employ people like you by doing an advanced search for people in your area who have your skills. For example, if you’re a web developer in Seattle, search profiles in your zip code using keywords with your skills (for example, JavaScript, XHTML, Ruby on Rails) to see which companies employ people like you.
4.Find out where people at a company came from. LinkedIn “Company Profiles” show the career path of people before they began work there. This is very useful data to figure out what a company is looking for in new hires. For example, Microsoft employees worked at Hewlett-Packard and Oracle.
5.Find out where people from a company go next. LinkedIn’s “Company Profiles” also tell you where people go after leaving the company. You can use this to track where people go after leaving your company as well as employees of other companies in your sector. (You could make the case that this feature also enables to figure out which companies to avoid, but I digress.)
6.Check if a company is still hiring. Company pages on LinkedIn include a section called “New Hires” that lists people who have recently joined the company. If you have real chutzpah, you can ask these new hires how they got their new job. At the very least you can examine their backgrounds to surmise what made them attractive to the new employer.
7.Get to the hiring manager. LinkedIn’s job search engine allows you to search for any kind of job you want. However, when you view the results, pay close attention to the ones that you’re no more than two degrees away from. This means that you know someone who knows the person that posted the job—it can’t get much better than that. (Power tip: two degrees is about the limit for getting to hiring managers. I never help friends of friends of friends.) Another way to find companies that you have ties to is by looking at the “Companies in Your Network” section on LinkedIn’s Job Search page.
8.Get to the right HR person. The best case is getting to the hiring manager via someone who knows him, but if that isn’t possible you can still use LinkedIn to find someone inside the company to walk your resume to the hiring manager or HR department. When someone receives a resume from a coworker even if she doesn’t know the coworker, she almost always pays attention to it.
9.Find out the secret job requirements. Job listings rarely spell out entirely or exactly what a hiring manager is seeking. Find a connection at the company who can get the inside scoop on what really matters for the job. You can do this by searching for the company name; the results will show you who in your network connects you to the company. If you don’t have an inside connection, look at profiles of the people who work at the company to get an idea of their backgrounds and important skills.
10.Find startups to join. Maybe this recession is God telling you it’s time to try a startup. But great startups are hard to find. Play around with LinkedIn’s advanced search engine using “startup” or “stealth” in the keyword or company field. You can also narrow by industry (for example, startups in the Web 2.0, wireless, or biotech sectors). If large companies can’t offer “job security,” open up your search to include startups.
11.Build your network before you need it. As a last tip, no matter how the economy or your career is doing, having a strong network is a good form of job security. Don’t wait until times are tough to nurture your network. The key to networking (or “schmozing”), however, is filled with counter-intuitiveness. First, it’s not who you know—it’s who knows of you. Second, Great schmoozers are not thinking “What can this person do for me?” To the contrary, they are thinking, “What can I do for this person?” For more on schmoozing, read “The Art of Schmoozing.”

I never help friends of friends of friends.) Another way to find companies that you have ties to is by looking at the “Companies in Your Network” section on LinkedIn’s Job Search page.
8.Get to the right HR person. The best case is getting to the hiring manager via someone who knows him, but if that isn’t possible you can still use LinkedIn to find someone inside the company to walk your resume to the hiring manager or HR department. When someone receives a resume from a coworker even if she doesn’t know the coworker, she almost always pays attention to it.
9.Find out the secret job requirements. Job listings rarely spell out entirely or exactly what a hiring manager is seeking. Find a connection at the company who can get the inside scoop on what really matters for the job. You can do this by searching for the company name; the results will show you who in your network connects you to the company. If you don’t have an inside connection, look at profiles of the people who work at the company to get an idea of their backgrounds and important skills.
10.Find startups to join. Maybe this recession is God telling you it’s time to try a startup. But great startups are hard to find. Play around with LinkedIn’s advanced search engine using “startup” or “stealth” in the keyword or company field. You can also narrow by industry (for example, startups in the Web 2.0, wireless, or biotech sectors). If large companies can’t offer “job security,” open up your search to include startups.
11.Build your network before you need it. As a last tip, no matter how the economy or your career is doing, having a strong network is a good form of job security. Don’t wait until times are tough to nurture your network. The key to networking (or “schmozing”), however, is filled with counter-intuitiveness. First, it’s not who you know—it’s who knows of you. Second, Great schmoozers are not thinking “What can this person do for me?” To the contrary, they are thinking, “What can I do for this person?” For more on schmoozing, read “The Art of Schmoozing.”
Top 5 Ways to Improve Your Resume
By Robin Ryan
Does your resume stand out? Will employers quickly see you are the one to do the job? Your resume has less than 15 seconds to capture an employer's attention according to our national survey of 600 hiring managers published in the book, Winning Resumes. You must also incorporate effective keywords or the electronic search tools will never put you on the hiring manager's screen. To learn how you compare to other candidates, take our Resume Assessment Quiz. Resume writing is a critical skill to advancing your career so here are some of the top survey results to follow.
1. EMPHASIZE RESULTS!
This was #1 with all surveyed employers. Accomplishments get attention, not just job descriptions. State the action you performed and then note the achieved results. Include details about what you increased or decreased. Use numbers to reflect, how much, how many, and percentage of gain or reduction. Stress money earned or time savings. For example: Managed the project implementing a new tracking system that resulted in a 17% decrease in cost overruns, saving $200,000.
2. SPECIFICS SELL.
Vague, general resumes don't cut it, employers say. Target each resume to the job sought. Incorporate only the information pertinent to doing that specific job title in the resume. This will alleviate the tendency to crowd your resume with too much non-related information, or too much detail on jobs more than ten years in your past. Start each sentence with a descriptive action verb such as directed, organized, established, created, planned, etc. as they add powerful impact to your sentences.
3. DO NOT LIE!
A USA TODAY survey of executives stated that over 50% tried to exaggerate their skills, which was almost always uncovered during interviews and reference checks. Lying resulted in candidates not getting the job, or worse, being fired once the fraud was revealed. Employers are on the lookout for this misrepresentation so be as positive as possible without exaggerating or misstating the truth.
4. BIG MISTAKES MUST BE AVOIDED. The TOP mistake annoying every manager and HR person in our survey was spelling mistakes and typos. Many said: "I stop reading when I find spelling mistakes." Typos scream: "Don't hire me." Proofread -- you cannot trust computer spell checkers. Cramming too much into a resume and using microscopic fonts can result in your resume never being read. Make your resume visually appealing on paper with fonts sizes in 11 or 12 points. Use concise sentences and adequate white space between points. Many online resume-posting programs incorrectly read boxes and graphic designs causing unintentional page breaks, so be sure to avoid using these. Also, many home computers use a mini-word processing program called WORKS, which is not compatible and can't be read by many employers' business computers that use MS WORD. Be certain you only use WORD in any communications you send on to employers.
5. THE FINAL TEST -- IS YOUR RESUME GETTING RESULTS? Are employers calling on appropriate jobs you are qualified for (not over or under) to perform? If not, rework your resume, or get professional help to improve it, since a great resume is the prelude to landing a terrific job.

Workforce Investment Act can help pay for your career change
Did you know that the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) can help you pay for professional certifications? It can if you are currently unemployed or under-employed. WIA is a program "geared to those who can prove (by job postings) that a certification or education program will increase the likelihood of becoming employed."
The WIA program may pay for IT, project management, nursing and other high-demand occupations that require certification. It offers up to $8,000 over a two-year period ($5000 for the first year, and $3000 for the second), and since many schools and training centers have already worked with this program, it's not difficult to set up your classes.
To use the WIA, apply at your local unemployment/labor department office. If you're already getting unemployment insurance, your probably already enrolled. The program can help you in your current career, or if you change to another career.
Thanks, Marsi, for sending us the above information, which was written/provided by Anthony Della Vedova.

Jobs coming to Douglas County in early 2010
Today's DC Sentinel reports that a business is planning to add 70 new jobs here next year. According to the paper, the Development Authority held a special meeting Monday to approve a resolution transferring the title to some property for the company. The name of the company hasn't been released yet, but sources said it currently has 71 jobs here and will add another 70 from a location that it will close in North Carolina. Eventually it plans to create another 360 jobs that will be outsourced through a third-party employer.
Watch for news of this company; the paper says the company will start building a facility here early in 2010, and that hiring for the new jobs will start soon thereafter. We'll keep you posted if we have any updates!
