Ideas for Job Seekers
Skip Freeman,
Professional Headhunter and Author of "The Rules of the Hiring Game Have Changed FOREVER"

There are 10 new RULES to the hiring game? Are you ready? As an EMPLOYER...as a CANDIDATE?

NEW RULE NUMBER ONE—

Today’s unemployment situation is not merely part of a “normal” job cycle. Many, if not most, lost jobs simply are NOT going to return.

NEW RULE NUMBER TWO—

Recent worker productivity increases necessitated by decreasing numbers of employees is NOT
a temporary phenomenon.

NEW RULE NUMBER THREE—

The economic landscape has already changed significantly, and that change can only be expected to continue, with substantial, long-term implications for future job seekers.

NEW RULE NUMBER FOUR—

Job seekers who continue to rely exclusively, or nearly exclusively, upon the Internet for job leads will no longer be seeing the “whole picture.”

NEW RULE NUMBER FIVE—

It is substantially more difficult today to get one’s résumé in front of a hiring manager/company, and it can only be expected to become even more difficult to do that in the future.

Why Leadership Skills Are the Profession's Responsibility

Business leaders aren't experts like doctors or lawyers (or engineers), whose skill can be measured by their grasp of a specific subject area, writes Richard Barker. Rather, leaders are generalists and improvisers, capable of drawing together and intuiting connections between other people's fields of expertise in order to spur their companies to new heights. That means good leadership can't be taught directly, Barker argues, but can only be absorbed through firsthand experiences and on-the-job mentoring.
