Job Seekers: Three quick
job search tips
 
<a
href="http://www.career-digest.com/t/d/ph-666-295-666.html">Kevin
Donlin</a>, President of Guaranteed Resumes
MINNEAPOLIS, MN -- First:
Create your own momentum, "The Big Mo" -- you hear about it all the time in
sports. Teams with momentum get on a roll, score-more often and win more games
than teams without it. If your job search is stuck, you can create your own
momentum and move toward the position
you want by starting each day with a victory of some sort, no matter how
small. Second: Ask for help, listen -- and act! Question: How many
people have you asked this month for advice about your job search? If you're
absolutely honest in your answer, the number will be small. Too small. Why put
all the pressure on yourself to find all the
employment answers? Why not ask and discover what's worked for other people?
Stop trying to figure it all out on your own. Instead, start multiplying your
brainpower by asking others for advice. Third: Know that change is your
friend. According to the US Bureau of Labor, voluntary employee turnover
across America was 20.20% in 2004, the
most recent year available. This means that on average about one in five
employees quit their jobs every 12 months. What does that mean for you? In a
company with 100 employees, approximately 20 of them will quit within the next
year. So, don't despair. Keep in regular touch with the companies you want to
work for, because it's only a matter of
time until something opens up for you.

Still job searching with
no results?

Writer</a>, The Career Digest
LOS ANGELES, CA --
Instead of wasting any more time job searching with no results, consider
changing your strategy. With the job market on the upswing, wouldn't it be
nice to ensure your resume could be seen by the employers and recruiters that
are currently hiring? One way to do that is to post
your resume on all the top career websites where hiring managers search for
resumes every day. This is exactly where a service like Resume Rabbit can
help. You enter your resume and job requirements just once - and in the
time it takes to post your resume to just one job site, Resume Rabbit will
instantly post your information on up to 80
top career websites like Monster, Job.com, CareerBuilder, Net-Temps, Dice and
more. So, if you want to use the strategy of a successful job seeker, just <a

Rabbit.</a>

Job Seekers: Protect your
social security number
 
Abridged:
PrivacyRights.org
LOS ANGELES, CA -- Some
legitimate online job application sites and employment kiosks may sometimes
ask for your Social Security number (SSN) and date of birth prior to posting a
resume or applying for a job. (For example, www.sportsauthority.com,
www.albertsons.com, usajobs.opm.gov,
studentjobs.gov, and many state job sites request this information.) Some of
these sites conduct instant SSN matching or background checks on your
information to verify it. It is the position of the World Privacy Forum
that you as a job seeker should never have to submit your SSN or date of birth
prior to applying for a job, especially
online where verification of where the SSN is going is more challenging. Broad
dissemination of your SSN can lead to identity theft. It is appropriate for
you to allow a serious employer to use your SSN and date of birth to conduct a
background check after you have engaged in the interview process. Not
all sites that request your SSN and
date of birth are legitimate. As a general rule, you should not supply this
information up front, especially in combination with your credit card
information.

Network your resume to
the right recruiters
 
<a
href="http://www.career-digest.com/t/d/ph-666-16-666.html">Staff
Writer</a>, The Career Digest
LOS ANGELES, CA -- These
days job seekers should spend 60 to 70 percent of their efforts on networking.
Let everyone know you're out of a job and available for work. People like to
help, but they can't help if they don't know you're looking. On average, 80
percent of job openings aren't
advertised at all. Therefore, working with a recruiter and networking may be
the only way to hear about them. Recruiters, otherwise known as head
hunters or search consultants, are hired by companies to find candidates for
them, and often know about unadvertised jobs. It's important to note, that
recruiters do not charge the job seeker. The
company pays a fee, typically when a candidate is hired. If you don't
know of any good recruiters and would like to have your resume sent to
recruiters that specialize in people with your skills, Resume Mailman will
instantly email your resume and cover letter to 1000's of targeted recruiters.
You can even get a list of the recruiters they
forwarded your resume to for follow up. To get your resume into the hands of
the right recruiters <a

Digital dirt derailing
job seekers
 
Abridged:
ExecuNet.com
LOS ANGELES, CA -- More
than one-third of employers have eliminated a candidate after digging up
"digital dirt," according to ExecuNet, an executive job search and recruiting
network. In a recent survey of 100 executive recruiters, 35% said they dropped
a job candidate because of information
uncovered online, up from 26% one year ago. Seventy-seven percent of
respondents said they use search engines to learn more about prospective
employees. Another study showed that 82% of executives expect companies
and recruiters to enter their name into a search engine during the course of
their next job search, yet only 33% have ever
actually conducted an internet search on themselves. "Conducting searches for
your own name is something that should be done on a regular basis," Dave
Opton, ExecuNet CEO and founder, said in a prepared statement. "Until you're
aware of everything that's connected to your name online, it's impossible to
try to overcome any potential employer
objections." The survey also found that 16% of executives said they
fear that information found online could eliminate them from consideration for
a job opening. Thirteen percent said they have taken steps to add positive
personal information online.

Get your resume critiqued
by a professional writer-free
 
<a

Writer</a>, The Career Digest
LOS ANGELES, CA -- You've
got terrific experience. Your work ethic is superb. You're even willing to be
flexible on salary. But after sending your resume to countless, perfectly
matched management opportunities, you're just not getting the interviews! Why?
It may be hard to believe, but there's
a good chance your resume is the culprit. With the average employer spending
less than 30 seconds scanning each resume they receive, your resume needs "The
Right Stuff" to grab attention and get the interview. What is the Right
Stuff? To find out, The Career Digest arranged for its subscribers to receive
a free-resume-critique and price quote
from a certified professional resume writer, specializing in resumes for
management level job candidates. You'll not only find out what's right
with your resume -- but more importantly, if it is actually preventing you
from getting interviews. While the critique is free-and-valuable, you'll also
learn how a professional writer might
successfully re-vamp your resume and refine your job search strategies -- and
exactly what that would cost. This may just start making you money quicker
than you think! <a href="http://career-digest.com/t/d/ph-666-93-666.html">Get

Job Seekers: Stay busy
and proactive!
 
<a
href="http://www.career-digest.com/t/d/ph-666-97-666.html">John Davis,
RN</a>, Freelance Writer
WILLIAMSBURG, NM -- It
can be scary and frustrating, waiting to be called back for an interview for
that job you want so badly. But waiting around and developing a case of nerves
isn't going to help (and could likely hurt) your efforts. Best to stay
busy, and pro-active. While waiting for
that interview, MAKE your own job. Contact local attorneys, and see if they
could use a process server. The work consists of delivering subpoenas,
summons, and court orders. Expect to be paid $20 to $25 for each one you
deliver. You have to fill out a return of service on each one, but it is
pretty simple. Offer to clean offices by starting
your own freelance janitorial service. Invest in a broom, mop, cleaners and
rags, and you're on your way. Other ideas include landscaping service,
pet-sitter, house-sitter, child care or elder (respite) care. America has
become a nation of service industries, and your talents can be put to good
(and profitable) use while waiting to hear back on
that all-important interview. Staying busy will also help keep your confidence
up, and confidence is always a good thing to show at interviews.

Creating a business of
your own
 
Abridged:
iVillage.com
LAS VEGAS, NV -- The
majority of people who have a home-business started from scratch. Creating a
successful business requires that you ask yourself "What will people pay for?"
Market research will help you find out, and that can be as simple as asking
prospective customers what they need and
investigating whether you can compete on price, service, quality, variety and
ease of use. With these considerations in mind, here are some possibilities
for finding the ideal business for you. Turn your favorite hobby or
interest into a business. Find a need you can fill that's related to your
interest. Turn your existing job skills into a
business. Accountants, communications specialists, graphic artists,
salespeople, teachers -- people from all walks of life -- can take their
skills and reinvent them. Solve a problem. People will pay to have someone do
daily tasks they find unpleasant or need help with. Use a hidden or
latent talent. Take notice of the talents you use
without thinking. Use technology and other resources you have around the
house. Many people have created successful businesses with equipment and
technologies they already had around the house. Put what you know to work and
you can turn virtually anything you know into a business!

Benefits of starting your
own franchise business
 
<a
href="http://www.career-digest.com/t/d/ph-666-191-666.html">Staff
Writer</a>, The Career Digest
LAS VEGAS, NV -- You're
dissatisfied with the way you're being treated by your company. Perhaps you're
an executive who has been displaced. You realize that your labors have been
creating wealth for others but not for yourself. You've had the idea of owning
your own business as a solution to
these and other issues but you've heard all the horror stories about the
failure rates of independent businesses. A franchise may be the answer for
you. A successful franchise is a network of interdependent business
relationships that allows a number of people to share a distinct brand
identification, a successful method of doing business,
and a strong marketing, distribution, and support system. If you would rather
own a McDonald's than an independent burger drive-in, franchising may be right
for you. If this is you, we recommend you sign up for a complimentary
consultation with FranChoice, the premier "matchmaker" of the franchising
industry. The FranChoice consultation
process is similar to working with a realtor when buying a home. An industry
expert guides you through the search process, helps answer your questions, and
understands your concerns and goals in business ownership. FranChoice fees are
paid by franchisors who respect the processes they follow and recognize the
high quality and fit of prospective
franchisees they meet through FranChoice. To sign up instantly for your
complimentary consultation, go to <a
