May, June, July...is anyone hiring?

There are so many ups and downs to job searching it can be difficult to figure if anyone is hiring. I have written often of the "roller-coaster" ride a job search is. The summer months are no exception; the ride is still there.

Actually, we have seen an up-tick in job leads for our clients. One client in particular has not had a bite in almost 2 months then all of a sudden BAM! a great interview set up within 48 hours of receiving her resume. She had a telephone interview with the President of the company and a face to face with the hiring VP. She was ecstatic. The problem was that I could not answer the question why the TWO MONTH dry spell. It can be frustrating even for professional like us.

Stay strong and keep your priorities in check. Your search may take longer than expected but this is no reason to just give up and shoot for a lower paying or level job. Dig in and keep pushing hard because things will turn around. AND DON'T get caught saying: "The economy is bad...blah blah blah." You have NO EXCUSES to finding a job and don't lie to yourself about why things are not working. Make some changes in your presentation, cold call list or whatever and keep going.

Let's Get Started!
