5 Reasons Why You Will Still Be A Job Seeker This Time Next Year!

job seeker1 274x300 5 Reasons Why You Will Still Be A Job Seeker This Time Next Year!

This is not working, people! Help!

There is not a day that goes by that I am not in close proximity to hundreds of job seekers, resumes, and people in financial crisis.

While I am thrilled with the path my career path took… well, it was more to the extent of self-employment and owning a few businesses, it was not that long ago that I was the struggling job seeker, myself!

Many newly laid-off, downsized employees tend to think that their time between jobs will be different, one just never knows… and the potential to be out of work for months, even years,  especially in these unfortunate economic conditions, could be a sad reality.

This is no longer the employee job market that it was way about 6-10 years ago. Those upper-middle class jobs that were once so prominent are in either very high demand, have been removed, or are have had their base salary reduced drastically.

Car buyers looked at the window, saw the price, and signed on the dotted line. I was sure of at least some type of consistency in the markup.

Well, that didn’t work for Saturn or for the parent company, General Motors, as you will read later on in the article. But, in all fairness, “no-haggle pricing was not the primary culprit.

E-Mail Marketing, Recruiting, and The Group Interview

email E Mail Marketing, Recruiting, and The Group Interview I have never been a big fan of e-mail solicitation. It could be one of the reasons I have been apprehensive about putting a newsletter out for this blog  on a consistent basis.

Then, it dawned on me. I am the biggest e-mail marketing person I know. Why? Because it is my job, as a recruiter of insurance agents. No, recruiting is far from the only thing I do, but in my business, if you can’t recruit, train, and lead others to their own success, you are not going to make it in this business. Period.

I want to share with you what I do. Perhaps you are a recruiter, if so, your input is always appreciated and welcome here. Remember, this is Source Blogger. We can speak freely here without pretense,  egos, or inflated reputations here.

Come let me share my world with you. This is my reality 7 days a week.
