If You’re Going To Compete With Anybody, Compete With Yourself!
By Todd Bavol, The Job Search Ninja. CEO, Integrity Career Transitions They tell us that competition is good. They tell us that it motivates us and gives us something to aim for. In a job search or career sense, however, does competing against other people really work? Human nature is such that in many areas of life we have a tendency to compare ourselves with other people. In some cases, we might feel that we are the ones who are doing better or have more, but of course in others... Job Circle -

Following up After an Interview
After an interview, your follow up can make or break your chances of getting the job. This extra step doesn’t take much time, but it can be a great way to stand out from other applicants. Not only this, but some hiring managers won’t hire a candidate that didn’t write them a thank you note. A recent survey by the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) found that 5% of hiring managers believe failing to write a thank you note after an interview is a major problem or deal breaker while...

Larry Kudlow Is Wrong – Businesses Do Want To Hire
With the disappointing jobs report released earlier today, there is no doubt that my prediction for a far more positive report than most expected was off the mark. According to the Department of Labor numbers, job growth in July was positive but anemic, and far below consensus estimates. Following the weak BLS report, politicians, economists, forecasters, and the media are and will continue to passionately debate about the current state of the nation’s economy, the health of the U.S. job...

Based On LinkUp’s Job Search Engine Data, Friday’s Jobs Report Will Be Far Stronger Than Consensus Estimates
The consensus estimate for Friday’s jobs report seems to be that after accounting for the large decline in temporary census workers, the U.S. economy continued to add jobs in July. Most forecasters, however, have tempered their positive but modest outlook and are expecting to see a continuation of slow but steady recovery in the jobs market. While any growth in private sector jobs would be welcomed, we are much more bullish and expect to see a far stronger jobs report than people are anticipating.... Diggings -
