Consider some friendly advice...

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.
