how to find a job when the economy sucks
How to Find a Job (when the economy sucks) Part 1 of 3
Posted by Jim StroudAugust 12, 2008
I recently gave a webinar on job hunting for Recruiters that were unemployed, under-employed or unhappily-employed. It seems to me that there is a need for this type of information, especially in these “interesting” times. That being the case, I have decided to post the slides and notes from my webinar here for all to use. Please pass on these notes to other recruiters, HR personnel, or anyone looking for a new opportunity.
The title of the webinar was “Confessions of a Job Search Strategist.” Enjoy…
2002 was not a happy time for me; at least, not initially.
I was in a position where my wife laid off, I was laid off, I had a little one to take care of and bills that would not stop coming in. So, being the responsible man of the house I began looking for work in the the most common ways: Online job boards, newspaper classifieds, career fairs and networking groups. And the more I did those things, the more frustrated I became because I was not getting the results I needed. For the matter, neither was anyone else I was associated with as several people at the time were looking for work and all doing the same things I was.
And then it hit me, I said to myself, “Jim, do something different…” (And so I did)
I reflected on my many years in Recruiting and how I found people for opportunities I was trying to fill; then I simply put the process in reverse. The end result was a sort of push/pull strategy. On one end of my process, I would strategically circulate my resume to companies I was interested in and on the other end, I would position myself to be found by recruiters looking for passive candidates.
In our time together, I am going to show you things I did to find work in the last recession. I am also going to show you things I wish I had done in the last recession. Finally, I am going to show you how implementing all of what I show you here will place you in the most-desired position of all; referring jobs to others because you are already gainfully employed.
In preparing this webinar, I knew from experience that there were a lot of recruiters with profiles on Linkedin and inside Recruiter Networking groups, but I was curious as to how many actually had their resumes posted on a homepage somewhere. So I did the following search:
intitle:resume -jobs -sample -template -apply -submit recruiter education
At the time I ran this search, I found 16 resumes in the first 50 results. I also noticed that there were 11,900 results returned and all of them were not resumes. When I added city names and states, the results were (of course) significantly less. For example, when I added Houston, TX (194 results), San Francisco, CA (294 results) and Atlanta, GA (237 results). Of course, I could have played with that a bit more with area codes and other criteria, but I would still get a low return.
All of this suggested to me something that was very ironic; recruiters (overall) tend not to put their own resumes online. Go figure…
As I reviewed the resumes that returned in my search, what was also surprising was the fact that Recruiters did not classify themselves by the type of recruiting they did. As a Recruiter you know, going through a long list of search results can be tedious. Why not make it easier for the next Recruiter or Hiring Manager or HR Generalist? Should you decide to add your resume to a homepage, give it a title that would catch the attention of a recruiter.
Here are a few ideas:
Resume - I Recruited 25 Executives in 2007
Resume - I Staffed 18 Startups in 2007
Resume - Technical Recruiter – 5 Years Experience
Resume – I Recruit Recruiters
Resume – Recruiting Healthcare Professionals since 1997
Resume - Retail Staffing - I put butts in seats

Many people think that networking during a job search means calling everyone you know and asking them for a job. They associate networking with being pushy, overbearing, and an overall pest. People often shy away from networking because they don't want to be labeled as this type of person. But research shows that 70-80 percent of all jobs are filled through networking. How can this be so if networkers are such an annoying, self-serving lot?
Successful networkers are not egocentric, aggressive jerks. They show a sincere interest in their networking contacts. They work hard to develop a relationship, establish their credibility, and share information. They follow the rules of the game in which everyone has something to gain. Like the lottery, you have to be in it to win it. Below are seven rules to follow for successful networking.
1. Don't ask for a job... Ask for information.
Networking is not about asking everyone you know for a job. As a matter of fact, when you network you should never ask someone for a job. You ask them for information that will help you in your search. Your goal is to build a relationship and establish rapport so that if a potential opportunity becomes available in the future,
your contact will want to refer you. Compare these two scenarios:
Scenario One
"Joe, I've been out of work for six months and I'm really strapped for cash. Do you know of any open positions in your department?"
You've put Joe in a very difficult position. Sure, he can sympathize with your situation, but he may not be able to offer you a job. Perhaps he's not in a position to refer you, or there's a hiring freeze, or there aren't any openings right now. Whatever answer Joe gives you, it's bound to be disappointing. So to redeem himself, Joe says, "I don't know of any open positions, but why don't you give me your resume and I'll send it to the HR department where I work." Bad move. Unless your skills match a specific opening in the company at that point in time, your resume is bound to never be looked at. Joe will feel that he's done what he can for you, but you will be no better off.
Scenario Two
"Joe, as you know, I most recently worked for a medical device company in its marketing group. I know that you've been in pharmaceutical sales for the past 15 years, and I'm very interested in learning more about marketing roles within your industry. I don't expect you to know of any open positions in your organization, but I'd like the opportunity to speak with you briefly to learn more about your organization and the pharmaceutical industry in general."
Joe may think, OK, here's a friend that wants some information and sees me as some sort of expert on the topic.20That' s kind of flattering. I guess I could spend a few minutes with him. Does Joe know you're looking for a job? Probably. But you are not asking him for a job; you're just asking him for advice and insight. The stakes are low, and the expectations are reasonable, so he is more likely to help you.
2. Don't take up too much of the other person's time.
Have an agenda and keep the meeting on track. Nothing scares people more than the prospect of someone eating up a lot of their time. Many people don't want to cram yet another meeting into their already jam packed day. Contrast these two situations:
Scenario One
You meet with Mary after a mutual friend has agreed to help you set up a brief 20-minute meeting. You neglect to prepare for the meeting, ramble, get off topic and spend an hour and a half with her. Mary feels that you have abused the use of her time, and you haven't gotten to the critical questions you'd hoped to ask during the meeting. Mary feels burned and vows never to network again.
Scenario Two
You walk into the meeting with a prepared mental agenda that includes:
A reminder of who referred you and perhaps some brief chit-chat about that mutual acquaintance.
A statement up front that you have no reason to believe Mary can offer you a position and a reiteration of why Mary's information is of interest to you.
An explanation of your agenda. "Today I'd like to tell you a bit about myself and get your perspective on the future of the hi
gh-tech industry." Remember to discuss your skills and accomplishments and show how you can add value to an organization.
By planning out your meeting ahead of time, you establish your professionalism, gain credibility, and cover all the critical agenda items.
3. Give the other person a chance to speak. Ask questions.
When you network it is imperative that you do not do all the talking. If you have asked another person for advice, make sure he or she has the opportunity to offer it. Also, when you do all the talking, the other person might feel confused and unsure of what action to take with the information you have supplied. Here are some questions you can ask to keep your exchange balanced and establish rapport.
How long have you been with this company/field?
What do you like/dislike about your job?
What type of training do you need for positions such as yours?
What is the culture of this company and what are its guiding principles?
[Editor's note: See also our 200 Informational Interview Questions.]
4. Ask for suggestions on how to expand your network.
One of the main goals of networking is to tap into the network of the people you are meeting with. Each person you meet knows 200 or more people. If you can gain introductions to some of them, you quickly increase your network and your chances of finding the right connection. Ask your contacts if they can recommend a professional organization or the names of some other people you should be talking to. =0
A
5. Create a vehicle for followup.
If you want to establish rapport with another person, create ways to keep the relationship going. Ask the person if you may keep them informed of your search progress. If you read an article that pertains to a discussion you had at a networking meeting, cut it out and send it to them with a brief note. Try to find at least two to three opportunities yearly to reconnect with members of your network.
6. Find ways to reciprocate.
Building a network is about creating a genuine, caring relationship. Thank your contact for the information they have supplied and see if you can help them in some way. Maybe your contact is interested in living in an area that you are familiar with or has a child interested in attending the same school you just graduated from. Share your knowledge of the school and your experience there as a way to help the other person. Keep notes on what you learn about your contacts so that future correspondence can have a personalized touch like "How was Jane's first year of school?"
7. Send a thank-you letter.
Always thank your contacts in person and follow up with a letter. If your handwriting is legible, the personalized touch is always appreciated
Final Thoughts
Networking is an ongoing process. It requires persistence, attention, organization, and good will. Incorporate the art of networking into your job-search campaign now, and you will gain opportunities and build relationships that will last a lifetime.

just do it
Sitting in RFK stadium in Washington, D.C., one evening in 2006, I was watching the Philadelphia Phillies lose to the lowly Washington Nationals when I spied Tim Russert going to get a beer.
I had to say hello to my Sunday-morning hero, so I hustled to the concession stand for a soda.
Russert approached, hulking in an orange golf shirt. "Keep grillin' those S.O.B.s," a passing man yelled as Russert stepped into line behind me. He laughed while grabbing a bag of peanuts. I introduced myself as "Bob Costa, a big fan from Notre Dame."
"Notre Dame?" said Russert, smiling. "Didn't we just beat you guys two years ago?" Yes, the Fighting Irish football team had been clobbered in 2004 by Boston College, where his son Luke was attending college.
Getty Images
Mr. Russert signs off after an interview with Sen. John McCain during a taping of "Meet the Press" on Jan. 27, 2008.
I told him I was interning at ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos." "Why isn't an Irish kid like you working for us?" he asked while tipping the beer guy. "Keep at it," he went on. "You guys over there at ABC are giving us a real run for our money."
At the time, "Meet the Press" led "This Week" by a few million viewers. But Russert's graciousness made me feel for the first time that maybe this journalism thing my mother warned me against falling in love with was not far-fetched after all.
I'd first met Russert that June, while interning for PBS's "Charlie Rose" in New York. He had come to Mr. Rose's oak table to talk about his favorite subject outside politics, his dad, and the release of his book, "Wisdom of Our Fathers." My important duties that day were to get Russert coffee and walk him out of the Bloomberg building after the taping. I told him I'd love to work on "Meet the Press."
"You're being too nice," he said at the time, laughing. "Guys like you should want to host the show." More seriously, he added, "Look, you just have to get out there and do it." Russert took in the swarm of people on Lexington Avenue and asked "Where are you from, son?"
"Bucks County, Pennsylvania," I said. Russert gestured to the people rushing by. "All of these folks," he said, "don't let them intimidate you. When I first started working for Pat Moynihan, I thought all of these Ivy League guys were ahead of me, that I could never catch up. Then Senator Moynihan took me aside one day, when I told him I didn't think I had it in me to compete in the big leagues, and he said, 'Tim, what they know, you can learn. What you know, they'll never understand.'"
Russert stopped by Notre Dame this April, a month before my graduation, to give the Red Smith Lecture in Journalism. He talked about the need to prepare for every interview. "It is essential that I do what I didn't do when I was in college," he said. "I had been taught that if I read my lesson before class, show up in class on time, review my notes after class, then the exam would be easy. They were right. I did not do that, but it is what I do now, each and every day."
Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart are often credited for inspiring interest in politics among young Americans. For me, it was Tim Russert. He was an icon with wit and gravitas, who thought that politics should be more than fodder for a hip joke or a clever aside. It was about ideas and choices that mattered.
Russert saw politics as a vital and enjoyable discourse on America's future – a future to be greeted with vigor, not cynicism. Debate livened Russert's show, and he told us at Notre Dame to challenge ourselves to think critically about what we saw and read. "It is not enough to confirm your political views by only accessing and reading outfits that reinforce your views but do not challenge them," he said.
Russert will be remembered for his remarkable career. But I'll remember him as the famous journalist who gave counsel to an intern, and who told me to "get out there and do it."
Mr. Costa is a Robert L. Bartley Fellow at the Journal's editorial page.

Russert saw politics as a vital and enjoyable discourse on America's future – a future to be greeted with vigor, not cynicism. Debate livened Russert's show, and he told us at Notre Dame to challenge ourselves to think critically about what we saw and read. "It is not enough to confirm your political views by only accessing and reading outfits that reinforce your views but do not challenge them," he said.
Russert will be remembered for his remarkable career. But I'll remember him as the famous journalist who gave counsel to an intern, and who told me to "get out there and do it."

Having a Bad Day? It Might Be Something You Didn't Eat
By: Bean Jones
I've been skipping meals lately and I didn't realize it was turning me into a monster until my mother called today. "Hello, Beanie baby," she said. I barked into the receiver: "Stop calling me that!" To which my mother replied, "You're always cranky when you're hungry, Benjamin, so I'll forgive you."
After apologizing to her, I thanked my mother for providing inspiration for this post. It seems that she and a few other experts agree that food--or lack thereof--does indeed influence moods.
"Brain chemicals called neurotransmitters function as the primary regulators of our moods. Some neurotransmitters (such as dopamine) excite us, while others (such as serotonin) have a calming effect," explains Jack Challem, author of The Food-Mood Solution.
The brain manufactures neurotransmitters from "neuronutrients," which are mainly vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. When you're running low on these neuronutrients, your mood becomes erratic.
Blood sugar levels also affect moods. We all feel good after we eat because that's when our blood sugar level goes up. But, when they drop, our mood turns bad until we eat again.
Ideally, as Challem advises, both our blood sugar and our neurotransmitters should remain relatively balanced so that we can "respond appropriately to different situations." As such, he lists some good-mood munchies:
1. Fish. Eating salmon and other fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids like mackerel and sardines stimulates serotonin production in the brain. It can help reduce aggressive and hostile behavior, including bullying and verbal abusiveness.
2. Leafy green vegetables. Spinach and lettuce contain magnesium, a mineral with relaxing and calming effects. They're also high in folic acid, which helps prevent depression.
3. Oranges. Irritability and fatigue are the first signs of low vitamin C intake. Vitamin C is also used to make neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. (Find out which other foods will get you energized in Simpleology 103.)
Thus, I have resolved to eat oranges when I'm feeling tired and cranky. Obviously, skipping meals and just overdosing on coffee won't do me--or anyone else--any good.

job loss
I Lost More Than My Job 2 Years Ago
June 16th, 2008
They say losing your job is one of the top three major life stresses, up there with divorce and death.
You only die once… and most people probably won’t divorce more then two or three times in their life… but we can all lose our job over a dozen times in our career. If we change jobs every five years, and we start at age 20 and retire at age 65, we’ll change jobs 9 times.If we change jobs every three years, and we start at age 20 and retire at age 66, we’ll change jobs 15 times.
I met a guy last year who had been laid off 26 times. Imagine, 26 pink slips… and he wasn’t retired yet!
Why is this so stressful? Why does it rank up there with death and divorce? Here are some things I lost when I lost my job:
The ability to pay my own way. I’m quite independent, as I’m guessing you are. I like to pay for my own stuff, from a movie ticket to my car payment to my house payment…
The security I feel with insurance. Life insurance, and health insurance. I felt extremely naked as I lost these two things, which added to the stress in a big way.
Respect. I lost respect from others, who judged me because I lost my job (just as I had judged others… what a dork was to judge). Worse, I started to lose respect for myself.
My identity. I went from Jason the General Manager to Jason the ???. That was hard. In a society where we identify ourselves with our titles, losing the title was pretty devastating and left me in a state of confusion for a while.
My place in society. I was no longer able to contribute time or money the way that I had before, and felt more like a leach than someone who was adding value to the world.
My confidence. I was pretty self-confident before I got let go. I was even confident during the first couple of weeks, but as my job search stretched through the weeks and months I questioned whether I really had what it took to be an employee. Should I start from the beginning, and get an entry-level job?
Some of my “friends.” This was weird… to be quite chummy with the guys at the office, sharing personal experiences, enjoying personal successes, developing personal relationships. And then, with the pink slip, comes the fine print that almost says “you can’t communicate with the guys from the office anymore.” I didn’t expect that to be a side-effect, but it was. And losing friends like that hurt.
Yes, it’s stressful, and painful. We should be prepared for this recurring event, though, and with that preparation it doesn’t have to be so despairing!
