Needle, Meet Haystack

The question that a number of friends, family, former co-workers, Internet people and strangers in line with me at the grocery store have been asking is this:

What am I doing wrong that’s keeping me from getting a job?

And the answer to this question, once more details are given regarding their individual situations, is the same every time: You’re not applying enough common sense and simplicity to the job application process.

So, for the next week, I’ll be showing you how breaking things down and over thinking less can help you with any and everything to help put you on the right path to career success.

Common Sense Week begins tomorrow!

As some of my sharper-eyed readers may have noticed, I’ve added a new category to the link bar on the right side of the blog called “Job Tools.”  The first of these sites, and this week’s link, is a great site called Brand-Yourself.com.  The site lets you track your personal brand’s message, level of awareness, online presence and more through a variety of analytics.  It also offers suggestions on sites to join, programs to use and so on.

Paid members get access to even more features, but the basic free package will still give you a better idea of what potential employers see when they look you up, and how you can make sure that you’re getting the right message out.  It takes only minutes to get started, and you’ll be on your way to mastering your personal brand in no time!
