It's
a widely known fact we're all aware of: Job searching is stressful.
Especially so when you constantly hear that "NO TIME. NEED JOB
NOW." voice nagging at you day and night.
Job
searching is stressful. And unfortunately in today's job market, a job
search encompasses much more than finding a list of jobs, sending out resumes,
and waiting for the phone to ring so you can schedule your interviews.
Today, job
positions are posted everywhere online, resumes are fed through computers, and
employers are more picky than ever. What does this mean? More people are
seeing the same job postings you are, resumes are analyzed based on keywords
rather than quality and experience, and with so many applicants, employers can
afford to label you as under qualified, over qualified, or simply replaceable.
So,
while job searching is absolutely daunting, there are ways to help you rise to
the top of the (very competitive) barrel.
Career
counseling. You've heard the words before. Sure, a short session will
take away from your job hunting time, cost a small fee, and won't land you a
job on the spot; BUT one private session WILL inform you of the tips, tricks, and
skills that will help make your job search more successful.
Women At Work offers a variety of private specialized counseling
services to meet a variety of needs and provide helpful direction for
career-planning.
If
you're in the middle of a job search rut and need some help moving forward, an Individual
