y 2009 The Year of the Job Search

The 2009 Year of the Job Search
With unemployment rates at record highs and Fortune 500s daily announcing pending layoffs, it is pretty clear that 2009 is going to usher in an even greater frenzy of job seekers. All of us, directly or indirectly, will be affected in some way.
As a job Search coach, it concerns me that so many people will be out there, clinging to corporate outplacement services and to bad advice from well-meaning friends and family as a way to conduct their job search. Anxiety levels will be high, and expectations will be false.
When it comes to a job search, I have two areas that I focus on with my clients, above and beyond the quality of their resume: proper expectations and key target market. The reason I focus in on these areas so much is because they are often the two areas that trip up most job seekers and cause them to waste a lot of time, money, and frustration
