Use the Google or Alexa search tools.

b. In the top box, enter the company name.

c. In the third box, type the title two levels above your title (your boss's boss's title).

d. Go back to Google's Advanced Search and put the first and last names of the person you've uncovered on the first line.

e. Put the company's name on the third line.

Dear Eleanor,

 

This week's Job Search Tips:

 

Job Search Success Strategies:

  

Great Job Search Internet Websites    

 

Gateways and Portals You Need to Be Aware Of

 

When you're beginning your job search research, I suggest you visit some of the main gateways, or what I call "portals," for your job search information.

This is by far the fastest way to find good general information for your job search needs. Remember to stay focused and on task regarding the informational answers you are seeking.

 

Here are some of my go-to career-hunting sites:

1. www.job-hunt.org (large but overwhelming)

 

2. www.jobhuntersbible.com (Mark and Richard Bolles)

 

3. www.rileyguide.com (Margaret Riley Dikel)

 

4. www.careeronestop.org (U.S. Department of Labor)

 

5. www.careerjournal.com (Wall Street Journal executive website)

6. www.quintcareers.com (lightly touches upon a lot of topics)

 

7. www.jobstar.org (California based and oriented)

 

8. www.cacareerzone.org (California oriented-provides a choice of viewing the site via text, graphic, or Flash mode)

 

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 91.

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: In your Executive Search Save Time With Your Emails

NEW Executive Job Search Resource
3538 hand blue a
Click Below 
Dear Eleanor,

 

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,


Eleanor

Sweet Job Tips: Executive Job Search Success Relies on Your Mindset

This week's Job Search Tips:

 

Job Search Success Strategies

 

Mindset is the Answer

 

90% of success in your executive job search success relies on a positive mindset. If your head is not clear, solid and positive about your goals, then your success will be far away.

 

When in doubt start with an idea, and goal that can be changed and modified depending on changes in the executive job market. 

 

 

CLICK HERE FOR POSITIVE MINDSET INFO  

 

If you find yourself feeling negative about your executive job search results today, step away form your job search and take a couple of hours off to clear your head.

 

Work on thinking of some time in your life where you felt happy, positive and confident. Take that same feeling with you when you go back to your job search and start with a fresh perspective, mindset.

 

When in doubt, remind yourself of the simple things in your life that you are grateful. Now again go back to your job search and start with a more positive headset.

 

 

I look forward to helping our land that next great job you are looking for in 2018!

Have a great week and week-end.

 

Take care,


Eleanor

Sweet Job Tips: Job Search Phone Interview Tips

This week's Job Search Tips:

 

Job Search Success Strategies

Chapter 12   

Interview Questions That Change the Game     

 

12 Professional Secrets to a Successful Phone Interview

1. Remember that the purpose of a phone interview is to get the face-to-face interview.  

 

2. Make sure you have a professional, outgoing greeting on your phone for the times you are unavailable to answer.  

 

3. Use a land line for the phone interview as opposed to a cell phone.  

 

4. Make sure you are in a quiet location, far from distractions.  

 

5. If possible, be the one who places the call so you can have control over exactly when the interview takes place.  

 

6. Make sure the time that is set up is specific rather than a large time span.  

 

7. Make sure you allow enough time away from other commitments for the call. A rule of thumb is to allow an hour. Most phone interviews take less time than that.  

 

8. Dress for the session. Studies have shown that you will project yourself in a more confident and professional manner if you are dressed in business attire.  

 

9. Standing up during the phone interview will help improve the strength of your voice and your answers. That is because you will be speaking from your diaphragm. As a result, your voice will be energized.  

 

10. Speak clearly and enunciate.  

 

11. Let the interviewer hang up the phone and end the conversation first. Following this simple yet gracious social gesture leaves the other party with a subtly biased good feeling toward you.

 

12. Don't forget to follow up with a thank-you note within 24 hours.



This is an expert from my book, The NEW Rules of Job Search - How to Land an Executive Job in the New Economy, page 192-193.

Use this information this week in your job search and see the results.

Have a great week and week-end.
