Largest Job Gain in 3 years!

Happy post Easter Holiday!

Job Market Update: While we saw the largest job gain in 3 years, most of the economists do not expect the new hiring to increase quickly enough this year to rapidly reduce the unemployment rate. Patience is the key.

We saw additional jobs added with private employers (Most since May 2007), increases from manufacturers (3 months straight), increases from health care, leisure and hospitality segments.

Job Tip of the week: Go to your library and find a reference book that will give you 50 new companies with contact names, mailing address, phone, and fax. MAIL or FAX your resume to arrive Tuesday-Thursday. It will get notice more by being mailed, faxed and arriving on the suggested days.

Challenge/Action Item: Call 10 new people a day to follow up with or network on job lead ideas.

Job Search Mental Health Tip: Plant some pansy flowers somewhere outside with someone close to you.

Good luck with your job search progress this week!

Job market update coming up this Friday.

Job Market update: The numbers today were slightly better than expected due to the government hired census employees and the employees hired with the change in weather, allowing for more outside workers. These factor caused the unemployment numbers to come in slightly higher than projected.

There still continue in some areas to be layoffs.

Still over all we feel the labor market is gently trying to come back. We are predicting a low recovery for the next 12- 18 months minimum. We can still expect to see the 10% unemployment through the end of the year.

Job Tip of the day: Have someone new look at your resume today and re-evaluate how it reads. Maybe it is time to try a slightly modified version.

Challenge/Action Item: 1) Re-send your recently updated resume to your favorite companies on your hot list. 2) Visit Home Depot, Lowes, Ace, True Value store and research seasonal lawn and and garden products. Get the company web site or address from the back of the product. Contact those companies to see if they are hiring.

Mental Health tip of the day: Go outside and enjoy the nice weather and sun for 20 minutes. Then get back to working on your job search.

That's a wrap for the day.

Good luck with your job search progress today!
