Career Fair Survival Guide - Careers Articles - 0 views

  •  
    Though a career fair is an excellent opportunity to explore different employment prospects, the sheer number of recruiters and competing job seekers attending the event can make it hard for you to get noticed. Also note that you should set reasonable expectations for yourself when attending a career fair; no employer is going to make you an offer on the spot, so your goal is simply to forge an initial connection with a wide variety of companies.

Downsizing Firm Specializes in the Art of Letting Employees Go - 0 views

  •  
    NEW YORK -- The first phone call comes 30 seconds after Kim Hall arrives at her desk. She groans, chases two Tylenol with a gulp from her extra-large coffee and sweeps her bangs away from her eyes. She reaches into a drawer and grabs the notepad that contains what her colleagues refer to as "the tally of destruction." After the third ring, Hall grabs the phone and presses it to her ear. It is 9:03 a.m. on a Wednesday, and another day of economic collapse has begun.

Shortcuts - When Job Hunting, Be Your Own Salesman - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  •  
    MY last column, about the best way to use the Web to find a job, got an enormous response - a reflection of our economic times, I recognize, rather than my deathless prose. While many people agreed with the premise of the article (and some vehemently did not), one question popped up several times. It was about my assertion that searching online was great, but that nothing beats face-to-face contacts.

Gen Y: How to Get a Job Now - BusinessWeek - 0 views

  • They rely on career services or troll Monster.com, where one posting draws hundreds of applicants. If you can't get a paid internship, start a tutoring business or baby-sitting business, or consider auditing classes or shadowing someone in an industry that interests you. Now is the time to expand your network. Go through your résumé line by line. Think not just of family and professional contacts, but also connect with high school and college friends, people at community organizations, churches, sports clubs, and ethinic-affinity groups. Tell all of them you're available and looking for work. This is the time for a guerrilla job search.

Is the 'Mommy Track' Still Taboo? - The Juggle - WSJ - 0 views

  •  
    "In Saturday's WSJ, writer Virginia Postrel has a retrospective on the "Mommy Track." She takes us back to a controversial 1989 Harvard Business Review article by Felice N. Schwartz called "Management Women and the New Facts of Life." Schwartz started with the fact that not all working women want the same things. Some are chiefly career-focused, making "the same trade-offs traditionally made by the men who seek leadership positions." However, most women want children, Schwartz wrote, and "are willing to trade some career growth and compensation for freedom from the constant pressure to work long hours and weekends.""

Fine-Tuning the Perfect Employee - WSJ.com - 0 views

  •  
    "Faced with a dearth of skilled labor, more companies are taking employee education into their own hands. Unemployment figures are high, but finding workers with the right skills for the job-especially for highly specialized roles such as power plant technicians or laboratory chemists-remains a big challenge, many firms say. In a survey from Lloyd's, the British insurance concern, U.S. executives considered lack of skilled workers one of the greatest risks their companies faced in 2012, second only to loss of customers."
