Living in the turbulence of the experience can be devastating to even the strongest of us. However, it doesn’t have to be. Across the country there are thousands of job search support groups that exist for the sole purpose of getting people back to work. The advantages that come with these groups are well worth the limited amount of time required to attend.

		<description><![CDATA[Recent college grads are facing challenges not seen in most markets. In a recession, college grads are competing against job seekers with 10+ years of experience, even for entry level jobs. In many cases, highly experienced people are taking internships, just to stay relevant in their industry. This makes it very hard for most students to find a career, let alone a career that relates to their degree. Fortunately, there are still a few viable options for Echo Boomers &#038; Gen Next.

Even for those of us who have hired a employees in the past, it can be hard to remember the key points of the process when preparing a resume. The following points will help you optimize your resume to be the most effective resume possible.

		<description><![CDATA[All too often, experienced employees place all of their emphasis on their non-transferable skills, those skills that only related to their current role. This approach is relevant in most cases. However in today&#8217;s highly competitive environment it&#8217;s very wise to also focus on your transferable skills. These skills are foreign to most individuals and can be the difference between getting the job and getting an interview.
Communication – The better individuals become at their core duty, the more difficult they find it to communicate with other members of the team. The ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most people think cover letters are designed to win over the recruiter/HR manager. This is kind of true. Others think it is supposed to serve as a summary of your skills. This is part of it. A few people think it&#8217;s about listing information that is relevant to the job. Again, they&#8217;re almost there. 
Every job requirement you read is really little more than a professionally written, open ended question. That question is the same whether the job is for a CEO or a Clerk. It is the same question ...]]></description>

You could have worked for the wrong boss in the past. Office politics, height, weight, skin color, hair color… Right or wrong the list goes on and on. But there is one reason that is absolutely unacceptable: A poorly written resume. 
If you lose out on a job because of a poorly written resume, it&#8217;s no one&#8217;s fault but your own. The quality of your ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Creating a video resume might sound like an innovative way to obtain interest, but you might want to dig a little deeper! Video resumes first took notice in the 1980&#8217;s with VHS recording. Job seekers would record their personal resume and plea for a job with their fresh hip mullet! However, it really didn&#8217;t catch on at the time. We now see video resumes all over the internet. I guess we can consider them to a throwback with a new twist!
