We have documented the Unserviced Workforce concept on this blog and provided a remedy called the Perfect Job Seeker. Below is a step-by-step guide you can print out and use for your job search.
I was recently asked to be a guest on Roanoke, Va Cox Media’s monthly local cable show Connections (hosted by Kim Stanley) to discuss the job search process using new/social media. Still only 6-10% of people get jobs online. Social media is no substitute for face-to-face job searching yet it cannot be ignored. Thanks to Cox Media for this opportunity to chat about this topic.
Today I am giving this presentation on a webinar to the APA on the Unserviced Workforce. The Unserviced Workforce is a group of job seekers who are caught in the middle and must decide how they are going to get out of this jam or deal with the consequences of no action.
We are often asked by many folks for help and assistance on their individual job searches. As a result of the demand, we will be holding a webinar on Tuesday, April 20 at 9 a.m. Please contact me for more details. There are only 15 slots available. If you cannot make it, then you can view the slides here.
Andy Rooney perfectly illustrates what we mean by practicing humility as one of the four steps in becoming a perfect job seeker. Sometimes a job seeker may temporarily have to take something he/she did not intend to do. He is right there are jobs out there, if people want to do them. Unfortunately, many do not want to do those that are available and unemployment benefits are too generous that prevent some from doing them. If you are looking for work, submit a profile.
