Posted by Maggie MistalA job hunt can seem daunting especially in a difficult economy. However, with so much support available, there's no reason to go it alone. Today on Morning Living with Kim & Betsy, I shared some of my recommended job search resources. In case you missed it or want to learn more, here are the highlights:
Indeed.com -- an aggregator of job postings, Indeed compiles millions of jobs from thousands of websites across various fields, industries and geographies. It even captures job trends so you can see which locations and fields offer the most opportunity.
Quintcareers.com -- over 4,000 pages of free career content including tips on resumes, cover letters and my favorite job interview questions database complete with sample responses! I'll be participating in the 2nd Annual Job Action Day with Quintessential Careers on November 2nd! Stay tuned for more info in it.
How to Ace a Job Interview (video) -- If you've got an interview coming up, it may be your only chance to persuade a prospective employer to hire you. Learn what you can do to effectively prepare in this video from a series of how-to career videos I created on topics including how to land a job in a recession.
What's been your latest job hunting experience? Have you been looking for a job for some time? Did you have success recently landing a new job? How did you do it? If you have comments or resources to share, I'd love to hear them so we can all benefit. Find more job hunting resources on resumes, cover letters and flexible career options on my career advice website and tune into Making a Living today at 4pm EST. You'll be inspired by my guest Carolyn Jones -- who is making a living making a difference helping those with breast cancer. Her socially-minded PRVCY (pronounced "privacy") brand has contributed hundreds of thousands to breast cancer causes and her jeans can be seen on celebrities including Jessica Alba!
