Imagine you walk into an office building for an appointment. You’re looking sharp because you’re on your way to a meeting with a recruiter on the 22nd floor. You step onto the elevator, and you notice someone that you used to live next door to in the past, but haven’t seen in years. You say “Hi” to each other, and they... |

Do You Know What You’re Looking For? by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 So often, I have people that are looking for a new job, network with me but they can’t tell me what kind of position they are seeking.

They tell me they are “open right now”. I can’t help you if you can’t tell me what it is you want! That may soun... |

No Job and Running Out of Money by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 It’s a difficult time in the job market and I’ve been talking to many more people lately that are in dire straits. The lack of income for a longer than expected timeframe has taken it’s toll on budgets, mortgages, and unfortunately...marriages.

Planning Your Job Search! by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 I teach an 8-week job search class, and one of the most common comments I get from participants is that they don’t feel like they’re being as productive in their search as they could be. For most people, when they are in a job, they have a task to accomplish, a schedule they keep, a routine they go through each day, and someone that’s placed expectations on them to get certain things done. When they become unemployed, ther... |

The Introvert’s Guide to Landing a New Job by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 From the outset...it must be understood that THE best way to land a new job is through networking, and networking is most effective over the phone and face-to-face.

Type-A in a Laid-Back World by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 When looking for a new job, most people certainly look for opportunities that fit their skill sets, interests, and salary requirements.
