December 1,, 2016 Office of Disability Concerns 2401 NW 23rd St, Ste 90 OklaHoma City, OK 73107 (800) 522-8224 http://ok.gov/odc/ httPs://www.facebook.com/Pages/Oklahoma-Office-of-Disability-Concerns/ Job-Hunting Do's and Don'ts for Job-Seekers | Quintessential LiveCareer 12/21/16, 1159 AM Job-Hunting Do’s and Don’ts Printer-Friendly Version by Randall S. Hansen, Ph.D. Here are the keys to successful job-hunting. Job-seekers who follow these rules and guidelines — the do’s and don’ts of job- hunting — should have much more success in the job-search. Do use all avenues/methods of job-hunting available. And do have a job-hunting strategy. Do take advantage of all Web-based job-hunting methods, including general job-hunting sites, industry-specific job sites, geo-graphic-specific job sites, company (employer) sites, and networking sites. Do know the Job-Search Domino Effect.

Do have a professional looking resume and cover letter. And do use action verbs in your cover letters and resume. And for help analyzing your work experience, do complete a job-seeker accomplishments worksheet. Do focus on identifying your key accomplishments. Also, do use transferable skills to better explain your work experience — especially for recent college grads and career changers. Do consider developing a job skills portfolio, which showcases everything you have to offer a prospective employer. Do develop multiple versions of your resume. Don’t expect to get a new job overnight; job-hunting takes time and patience. But do take some time to reflect on your strategies if you have been job-hunting for several months and have not had any success. Do consider developing your personal brand.

Do take advantage of your friends, family, and colleagues to network, network, network. And don’t simply rely on passive job-hunting methods. Don’t get discouraged if you’ve been fired or downsized. https://www.livecareer.com/quintessential/dosdonts Page 2 of 3 Job-Hunting Do's and Don'ts for Job-Seekers | Quintessential LiveCareer 12/21/16, 1159 AM Do follow-up all job leads.

Joyce [This is Step 2 in Part 2 of Job-Hunt's Online Job Search Tutorial.] So, where do you find the jobs NOW? Even if you had a successful job search 2 years ago, don't assume that what worked then will work now. Spending your time polishing your resume and then applying for every job you find with that resume does NOT work today for most job seekers. Technology is rapidly changing -- used a pay phone, a BlackBerry, or a paper map recently? Those changes have a very big impact on how recruiters recruit. And, changes in recruiting dramatically change effective job search strategies. [MORE: 5 Ways to Land Your New Job Faster.] Advertisement Essential Success Tips Today, it is very easy to get overwhelmed with options when you are searching online for a new job. To avoid wasting your valuable time and energy searching for job postings, start here: Focus Your Job Search Choose a target job and target employers where you would like to work, and focus your efforts on that job and those employers. https://www.job-hunt.org/findingjobs.shtml Page 1 oF 9 Guide to Finding Jobs Online: Online Job Search Tutorial - Job-Hunt.org 12/21/16, 1158 AM Unfocused job seekers apply for anything and everything. Consequently, they train employers, resume databases, and applicant tracking systems to ignore them. FACT: You are spinning your wheels and wasting your time until you focus on a particular kind of job and a group of target employers. You are not, as many believe, increasing your options by being vague and generic in your approach to your job search. If you don't know the job you want, you will have a much more challenging job search. Read 9 Steps to a Shorter Job Search and Successful Elevator Pitch in 7 Steps from WorkCoachCafe.com. Unless You Are Qualified, Don't Waste Time Clicking the "Apply" Button Fewer than 20% of jobs are filled by someone responding to a job posting, although many job seekers focus all of their efforts on applying for every job posting they find. FACT: Recruiters use the term -- "resume spammers" -- to describe people who apply for every job they find. Resume spammers are ignored. Don't be one! Because of the very large number of applications usually submitted by unqualified applicants in response to most posted jobs, job postings are NOT employers favorite way to fill jobs now -- too many resume spammers. Employers' favorite way to fill jobs today is next. Read Why Resumes Don't Get Read (and What You Can Do About It) and https://www.job-hunt.org/findingjobs.shtml Page 2 oF 9 Guide to Finding Jobs Online: Online Job Search Tutorial - Job-Hunt.org 12/21/16, 1158 AM New Requirements for Resume Success for more details. Be "Find-able" Online Being find-able online is essential today for two very important reasons: 1. Recruiters will find you when they search online for qualified candidates. Because of resume spammers, searching for qualified job candidates is an employer's favorite way to fill jobs. Called "sourcing" it is also often the quickest way to identify good candidates. When you are appropriately visible online, employers searching for qualified job candidates will find you, particularly on LinkedIn. When you know what you want to do next, preferably with a list of 10 to 100 target employers, you will be able to focus your online visibility on the right keywords in the right places. Those right places include: Your LinkedIn Profile and other activities on LinkedIn (your LinkedIn Updates and LinkedIn Group activities). Your other social media visibility, like Twitter and Facebook. Your resume and job applications. If you spend time applying for jobs online, customize the application or resume you submit so it includes the keywords used in the job description that are appropriate for you. 2. Recruiters will be able to verify the facts on your resume or application and to get a sense of your "fit" with their organization. Without appropriate online visibility, you are effectively invisible. And that makes your job search longer and more difficult because... https://www.job-hunt.org/findingjobs.shtml Page 3 oF 9 Guide to Finding Jobs Online: Online Job Search Tutorial - Job-Hunt.org 12/21/16, 1158 AM Recruiters and employers are generally suspicious of invisible people, assuming that the invisibility is because the person is out-of-date (no understanding of how to use the Internet for business) or has something to hide. Neither of those assumptions will help your job search succeed. Research has shown that more than 80% of employers and recruiters search the Internet to learn more about you before seriously considering you for a job or inviting you in to an interview. If they can't find you, you are usually not considered for their jobs.

  • America's Changing Workforce
    AND THE OF THE Temporary and Independent Work Is Increasing Is it good for workers? Is it good for the economy? An Express Employment Professionals White Paper Labor Day 2014 “America’s labor force looks far different from that of Labor Days past. Part of the reason is the rise in temporary employees. People are choosing multiple, temporary jobs, or contract jobs, sometimes out of necessity and sometimes out of convenience. Do fewer full-time core workers mean a more adaptable workforce? Does temporary work pose challenges for families? The answer is, ‘Yes.’” – Bob Funk, Chairman and CEO, Express Employment Professionals THE RISE OF THE CONTINGENT EMPLOYEE America’s labor force is changing. Workers are increasingly turning to temporary, independent contingent or freelance work to pay the bills—instead of long-term, full-time jobs with a single employer. The number of temporary employees alone has increased by about 50 percent since the end of the Great Recession.1 According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the temporary help services industry now employs around 2.7 million Americans per week, an all-time high.2 TEMPORARY HELP SERVICES EMPLOYEES 3,000 ) S AND S (THOU 2,000 S ALL EMPLOYEE 1,000 1990 1992 1994 1996 1998 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 2012 2014 YEARS (BY MONTH) SOURCE: BLS 3 A study from MBO partners, a support system for independent professionals, found that all U.S. independent workers—freelancers and contractors, A PERSONAL STORY in addition to temporary workers—totaled 17.7 million in 2013, a 10 percent increase from MBO’s Megan Plopper first study in 2011.

  • The Millennial Majority Is Transforming Your Culture 
    Written by: The millennial majority is Christie Smith, PhD transforming your culture Managing Principal Deloitte University Leadership Center for Inclusion Deloitte LLP Stephanie Turner, PhD Manager Deloitte Consulting LLP As of 2015, millennials encompass a majority of the workforce, over half of them are already managers with decision-making authority and direct reports. Despite this rise in rank for many, their success is overshadowed by the fact that they just do not see the promise of purposeful, values-based careers. They have been disillusioned by the fact that their companies are seemingly devoid or disconnected from the ideals of purpose-driven work, products, and or societal good. As a result, our research has found that millennials are not fully comfortable in their current corporate cultures, and are less engaged and satisfied. With this significant influx of a generation into organizations and into critical roles within organizations, companies are at risk of losing this talent due to cultures that stifle a sense of purpose, values, teaming, ideation, and innovation. This paper is the result of a comprehensive research partnership between the Billie Jean King Leadership Initiative (BJKLI) and Deloitte. Our first collaborative publication was aimed at understanding one disconnect of the cultural Two out of three millennials experience at work: How millennials, X-ers, and baby boomers define diversity and inclusion. Released in mid-2015, this paper concluded that the stark state their organization’s differences between millennials,’ X-ers’ and boomers’ definition of diversity and purpose is the reason they inclusion impacted engagement, a sense of belonging and productivity, and innovation.

  • If You Think That Networking in the 21St Century Is Passing
    “If you think that networking in the 21st century is passing out business cards as fast as you can, or hiding behind a social media profile, this book will set you straight. David combines theory and practice into an approach that anyone from a rookie professional to a veteran executive can use and should!” Michael J. Muriel Central Region Manager for Vector Marketing “In the course of my career, I've found that the technical skills aren’t always sufficient of success. Knowing the law is just a part of being a great lawyer; it’s the relationships you build that create the means to navigate in the professional world. I've known David for years, and I've watched him apply the tools in Networking in the 21st Century to build his network, and to help the clients he works with. In fact, networking is how we met! If you are ready to build relationships the right way, don’t waste time – make this the next book you read!” Pia Thompson Executive Director/Deputy General Counsel Global Management Consulting Firm "I knew the author in college, and we got back in touch because he very effectively networked with me. And that's what you'll get out of Networking in the 21st Century - tactics that work in the real world of fast-paced information and insanely busy people. David uses a humorous, down-to-earth, and conversational approach to unpack best practices from creating relationships outside your immediate sphere to asking the relevant "next question." I've been in this space for 10 years and I learned a thing or two!"
