With summer almost over and school starting, many job hunters who’d taken time off to travel and otherwise spend family time now look to resume their search. 

Fall is traditionally a good time for hiring.  So is the first quarter.  Current economic circumstances suggest there is no “good” time for companies, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t jobs out there.  It does mean they’re fewer and harder to obtain, so don’t give up.

First, assess where you stand regarding your network.  If you haven’t had contact in several weeks, find something of interest to your intended contact (an article, for instance) and share it with them.  Use that as an intro to help keep you front of mind.  Offer to help their friends who may be looking.  Seek to give, first… receive, second.

Update your online presence.  Tweak your resume on the job boards to keep it fresh.  Make a couple changes each week to your LinkedIn profile and rejoin its group discussions.  Check your resume and add any recent self-employment achievement or relevant volunteer activity.  Rehearse your answers to interview questions. 

In short, hit the job trail with enthusiasm and a game plan.  Easier said than done, yet you and I both know it’s critical.

Rising seniors in college need support, coaching and direction as they prepare to enter the real world.

As a parent, you want what’s best for your child. You realize that a college education is great at opening doors. But a college degree does not always equal a successful career.

A common misconception among students and their parents is colleges are very effective in “placing” students in the work force upon graduation. In reality, colleges are in the business of education, not job hunting. To their credit most colleges have set up placement offices to help students’ job hunting efforts. Their results, however, are mixed

Regardless of any school’s placement office efforts, your child is responsible for success or failure in his career. After investing many thousands of dollars in an education is it wise to not do everything possible to ensure you’re on the right track?
