10 tips to get a jump on the job search competition.

Here are 10 tips from Harvey Mackay's new book:  "Use your head and get your foot in the door: Job search secrets no one else will tell you."

#1 - Getting a job is a job.  You have to get a routine and stick to it.  Get back in shape. Read. Network. Volunteer.

#2 - Rehearse job interviews using your video recorder.  Invite members of your family to pose questions and to critique your performance.

#3 - Never lie on your resume, but always remember a resume's purpose is to get you an interview.  Use industry-accepted terms to describe what you do.  If you try to make yourself seem too special, firms won't know what to make of you.

#4 - After every interview debrief yourself.  Make notes, including how your resume played and how you could fine-tune it to prepare for your next interview.

#5 - On resumes and in interviews, point to specifics in your achievements.  If you're a manager, showcase the people you've developed in your career and where they are today.

#6 - Learn how to use the Invisible Web to know more than you ever thought you could (or should) about your interviewer and the company you are interviewing with.

#7 - Countless people have torpedoed their chances by loading career-suicide videos and party antics onto social-networking sites.  Used properly social-networking vehicles like LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter can help you enhance your network.  And networking is how two thirds of all jobs are found.

#8 - Respect your references.  Recruiters check out these resources more thoroughly than ever before.  Make sure your praise singers know in advance that you're listing them and how appreciative you are of their help.  Firms will also contact people who aren't your fans.

#9 - The early bird may get the worm, but late birds get the job.  You never want to be a warm-up act.  Like the Academy Awards, the strongest contenders are those appearing at year-end.

#10 - Never negotiate your starting salary based on what you need.  Base your argument on the marketplace and what you offer.  Always have hard research handy to prove you know your numbers.  But, if all else fails, offer to work for free for a trial period until you prove yourself.

Mackay's Moral: Getting a job is a job.  But, land a job you love, and you'll never work another day in your life.

V.D.!

I hope everyone enjoys their V.D.!

REALLY?

Sit down and shut up? If you question President Obama's national security strategy, you're "serving the goals of al-Qaeda," says the President's Homeland Security Adviser, John Brennan.

Amazing!  Can you imagine a conservative saying anything close to this?  What sort of hell it would unleash in the media!  Amazing!

Happy Birthday Mr. President!

From Being Conservative via Facebook:

Today would have been President Reagan's 99th birthday. We've always missed him, but his current stand-in makes us miss him now more than ever. Let's hope and pray the 2010 elections bring us closer to his political philosophy. We should thank God we're Americans, not apologize to the world because we are. Happy birthday President Reagan.

AMEN!

Seven charts everyone in America should see!

Amazing and unbelievable!  If you can look at this and still believe that their is no differnce between parties you need to get yourself checked into rehab to get off the dumb-o-crat kool-aid!

How do you know when your religion has become a fraud?

How do you know when your religion has become a fraud?  When Osama Bin Ladin latest audio rant has him joining in on your religion in global climate change.  Quite possible the greatest fraud to ever be perpatrated on man kind.  This fraud's only goal is to destroy capitalism, end of story.  How can you possble take anything remotely serious or be involved with it when your latest and greatest endorsement comes from the most wanted terrorist in the world.  In the tape Osama Bin Laden warns of the dangers of climate change and says the way to stop it is to:  "bring the wheels of the american economy to a halt.".

Leave my country and my football alone!

Can anyone name one thing this president has touched that he has not screwed up?  He has the anti-midas touch!  He has screwed up the economy, domestic security, foreign policy, and the list goes on and on.  All in the first year of his adminstration.  Now he wants to stick his nose in college football by starting a push for a play off system in place of the current BCS rating system.  It doesn't matter if you agree with the current BCS system or if you want a play off system to be implemented.  This guy can't be trusted to change the sheets on a bed much less run this great country.  Except maybe running it into the ground.  Please Mr President, for the love of God, leave my country and my football alone!

Is the tide turning?

With defeat of Martha Coakley (D) to Scott Brown (R) in the MA senate race a seat held by Ted Kennedy (D) the fourth longest serving senator in history, has the tide turned in American politics to the more conservative rather than the current ultra liberal?

I hope someone is listening and watching!

Happy Birthday to the King!

Today is Elvis Aaron Presley's 75th birthday!

WOW!

Apparently they will let anyone fly on a plane now-a-days!

It is bad enough to be in the same Wal-Mart with someone like this but a small metal tube screaming thru the sky at a high rate of speed...TOO MUCH!
