10 things you need to know before you start your job search
Jul 20, 2009 Product and Site Reviews
Have you heard the saying that goes something like execution is three quarters planning? Well, from project management to your job search, thinking through your plan of action is the key to success. You don’t have to know everything, but there are a number of critical pieces of information you need to find out in order to make sure each action you take is going to lead to your next job. You can avoid a lot of time wasting, frustration, dead ends, and a silent phone by asking yourself the following:
Do I…?
1. know what’s on my credit bureau reports and why it’s important in the job search.
2. know how to take care of my finances until I land a new job.
3. know what my major strengths are and the types of work I could perform well.
4. know my values, characteristics and attitudes and can clearly communicate them.
5. I have enough information to present and demonstrate my qualifications.
6. know when I am distressed.
7. know when and how to use a resume, a cover letter, a note card, or a business card
8. know my references and prepared them to respond on my behalf.
9. know how to collect and organize a list of people who I know and turn them into job search contacts.
10. know how to develop a network to reach decisionmakers and hiring managers.
And here’s five more for good measure…
11. know how to develop job leads when you have no network.
12. know what to wear and what not to wear.
13. know how to obtain company information from research.
14. know how to answer ads in a way that guarantees you get called in for an interview.
15. know how to rock an interview!
If there’s even one thing on the list that you are unsure of or think you don’t know, you should definitely consider purchasing one of the few comprehensive job search resources with up to date job hunting advice to get up to speed. The Rainy Day Guide to Finding a Job answers all of the above and then some.
To your success!

Census Bureau Jobs
Jul 15, 2009 Who's Hiring?
The census is coming! The census is coming! The next Census for the United States will take place in 2010. A friend of mine in the social services industry tipped my hat in the beginning part of this year about early hiring by the U.S. Census Bureau for jobs such as office management, research, administration, and more lasting a couple years. Don’t worry though–the Census is still hiring!
Although the Census Bureau has finished recruiting for 2009 census taker jobs, all is not lost because the major push for recruiting census takers is in the fall of this year (2009)! Most people will be hired in Spring of 2010. You can visit http://2010.census.gov/2010censusjobs/ to download a PDF and print out a practice Census test to prepare for the next round of job applications. The test covers basic skills needed to conduct surveys for the census (clerical, reading, number, evaluation, and organization).
Follow the site to stay up to date on job announcements. You can also track a job application you’ve already submitted by calling 1-800-861-2010.
To find other census jobs right NOW in your local area, go to the 2010 Census Regional Offices web site and follow directory listings by state, then regional employment options.
