This past weekend there was clothes shopping success with the daughter. She has several interviews these next few weeks; parents are hoping for job offer success!
I know it's tough when you graduate from a great liberal arts college and you have these great writing skills and you are a deep thinker. Unfortunately in the real world companies want tangible skills; the trick is how to present the liberal arts skills into tangible skills. You have to be crafty and astute as to how you get this information on your resume. I always recommend having someone that worked in Outplacement give you some pointers.
Its got to be frustrating as a relatively new graduate (3 years out) to get your foot in the door. You have to use all the networking skills you can muster; parents, friends and friends of parents. Anything (within the law) that will give you a head start or advantage over the masses. Then there is all the media hype and negativity. Like the story in Market Watch - Job Market Likely to Weaken into 2009. http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/job-market-likely-weaken-well/story.aspx?guid={9314CB5F-3AAD-413B-9CB6-E074AECF7AE5}&dist=msr_1
I like to quote my friend Walt Brewer: "You already have everything you need inside you. Keep the faith and your eye on what you are going for, it's in your reach." http://www.scienceofmind.com/ Is a good resource for postive affirmations; check it out.
Again - the lines of life and recruiting/job hunting, etc are blurred. I hope you get the job you are seeking my friends. Don't forget to check out The Brazen Careerist www.brazencareerist.com
