Sweet Job Tips : Saving Time with Emails in Your Executive Job Search

This week's Job Search Tips:

Job Search Success Strategies

Saving Time With Your Emails   

 

1.To start, create folders over in your navigation bar where you want to file emails worth saving. When creating each new folder, make sure you are always at the top of the navigation bar. That way, folders will be alphabetized and will not inadvertently become a subfolder of something non-related.

Like all correspondence, when contending with email, deal with it only once. If you can take care of it in two minutes, do so. The experts say that you should be able to tackle one-third of your email this way.

2. Now create four more folders in your navigation bar: *ACTION*, *WAITING FOR*, *READ/REVIEW*, and *PRINT*.

3. Specific to your job search, you can also label four more files: *JSACTIVE *, *JSWORKING ON*, *JSWAITING ON*, and *JS ANSWERS*.

Note that when you use the asterisk before these folders' names, they will be alphabetized at the top of the folder list.

4. I suggest you BCC (blind carbon copy) yourself on all emails related to your job search. Either that or remember to forward them to yourself from your Send folder. When they reach your inbox, file them in the appropriate folder. You can also create a special folder for companies with which you have conducted a lot of activity.

5. Check all of these aforementioned folders I have suggested periodically to see if any of the items can be deleted. To make this whole process easier, make sure you're a good typist. If you are a slow typist, go to a community college and take a course. You want to be able to type at least 50 words a minute. This ability will save you a lot of time.

This is an excerpt from my recently released book, The NEW Rules of Job Search - How to Land an Executive Job in the New Economy, page 79-81.

I suggest you print this week's newsletter for this information above to make it easier to use. 

I look forward to helping you land that next great job you are looking for in 2013!

The market continues to open up. 

Take care,

Sweet Job Tips: Hints on Coping with Disappointment in Your Job Search

Don't forget to read the 4 tips below on on to work with disappointment during your job search after you watch this great 2:18 min video.

This about the way the wisdom in this video can also be applied to you and your job search.

Stay in the game, get back up and back in the game.  Keep you goal in mind and keep working on getting better and closer to achieveing it by landing that next great job.

A job search consists of a lot of ups and downs, small triumphs and disappointments working toward the final goal, of landing that next great job.

I discovered some simple tips by the author Cheryl Richardson on the subject that I wanted to share with you today.

Richardson suggests that in times of disappointments that you ask yourself the following four questions:

1. Which part of me is this loss supposed to strengthen?

Job Search question:  How is this job search making me a better and stronger person in terms of my motivation, ambition and resolve to find that next great job?

      2.What can I learn from this?

Job Search question: What am I learning about myself and professionally while I am doing my job search that is leading me toward a better job search final decision?

      3.Who can help me transform this loss into gain?

Job Search question: Who can I be helping and networking with to help me become a better person and grow through this transition?

      4.How can what I’ve learned help me help others?

Job Search question: How can I share what I have learned and am learning in my job search with others, so they can benefit from what I have learned and save them time, and improve their job search?

In her book Body + Soul, she writes, “When we get to the other side of a letdown, there awaits a great opportunity to use what we’ve learned in service to ourselves and others.”

                                 Bear fruit with patient endurance. (Luke 8:15)

Have a great week!

Remember to find the positive side of what you are coping and going through.

I always say to myself, “There has to be a reason, I am supposed to being going through this. There must be something that a Higher Power wants me to learn and become a better person helping others and making a difference in this world.”

Blessings,

Eleanor

Commited to your success!

Sweet Job Tips: Coping with Stress During Your Job Search

According to the Midwest Center which helps people that are dealing with stress and anxiety in the day to day lives, you can easily diminish some of your stress by following their suggest method, “ABC”.

You will find this idea of theirs can also be applied to help you during your job search.

Follow this “ABC” method today, and see how it will help ease some of the stress in your life and job search for the day. Then remember to use this system everyday going forward.

1. Attitude: A positive attitude can help you convert bad stress to good stress. For example, instead of being stressed out about a particular task or situation, instead feel excited about the potential for new experiences. And try to surround yourself with similar positive thinkers!

2. Breathe: Calm down, by slowing down, starting with your breathing.

3. Choice: Choose to control what you can – and that’s rarely the words and actions of others. Make choices to do thing to the best of your ability and with an open heart, at home or on the job.

     

Remember for those of you that believe in a higher authority, prayer is one of the key stress relievers.

The job search is like life, there are areas that you can have some control and impact, while a great majority of the job search is out of your control.

Focus daily on the area of your job search that you can have impact, such as research 5 more companies, 5 more follow up calls, mailing 5 resumes, and networking with 5 new people you have not contacted before.

The key is to say in the game.

Have a great week!
