Last year is over and so is that first, often still-slow week of January. If you are actively engaged in a search for a new position, NOW is the time to get aggressively active again.
Our friends at EMC have put together an excellent collection of tips and suggestions that you’d be well-advised to review and, perhaps, incorporate into your job search strategies and activities. Below is the introduction to the eBook (PDF format) written by Jack Mollen, EVP Human Resources, for EMC.
PS. As you might surmise, all of the recruiters are from EMC Corp., but hey, they’re really solid tips and some of the recruiting war stories are funny, and sadly, true.
The rules and norms of job searching and career mobility have changed.
For job seekers, gone are the days of creating a great résumé and actively following job boards as a way to be sure you’ll find—and ultimately land—a job that meets your needs.
The world is just as different for recruiters.
This book contains 100 real-time tips and stories from FORTUNE 500 recruiters that will inspire and motivate you, provide insights, and identify traps. The recruiters come from diverse backgrounds and geographies, and they have experience recruiting at all levels. Don’t miss the last two pages. They are filled with links to the top career and job search resources and social media sites.
Talent search doesn’t have to be a mystery. In fact, it shouldn’t be. Putting people to work faster is good for you, good for families, good for the global economy, and good for business.
If you are looking for your next job, if you take note of just one piece of advice, this is it: Don’t give up. Don’t take it personally. Be persistent and be a master of the new rules of search.
With sincere wishes for your success,
Jack Mollen, Executive Vice President of Human Resources, EMC Corporation
