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,


Eleanor

Sweet Job Tips: Margaret Thatcher Leadership Traits that Can be Applied to Your Executive Search

 

Sweet Success Leader:  

Margaret Thatcher  


This month's leader is the internationally recognized leader,. Margaret Thatcher. She is one of the few women that has held a position of international leadership at her level.

The video clip below is 3 minutes.


The Real Legacy of Margaret Thatcher, Britain's Iron Lady
The Real Legacy of Margaret Thatcher, Britain's Iron Lady

Margaret Thatcher's Leadership Traits:

  • Courage to see an opportunity and take it.
  • Decisiveness in times of crisis.
  • Clear beliefs held with an evangelical zeal. During the 1979 election, she ridiculed the Socialist Prime Minister Callaghan saying, "The Old Testament prophets did not say `Brothers, I want a consensus.' They said, `This is my faith; this is what I passionately believe; if you believe it too, then come with me.'" Her crusading qualities were embedded in her Methodist background, which gave a moral purpose to all she did.
  • Physical strength. She needed little sleep and would certainly have been killed by the IRA bomb in Brighton if she had not been working on her conference speech at 2:00 a.m.
  • Intellectual capacity. She entered Oxford at 17 reading chemistry.

Have a great week!

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
