Re: Let Go of the Myths That Are Holding You Back

"1.) Life is fair."

Myth? Not fully. That is, it certainly isn't fair, sure... BUT there is a key point here: You can accept the notion life is not fair, or you can mandate it provide some degree of fairness. There is no point to existing in a world where you allow others to make your experience in life entirely unfair. You can stand up to those people, and demand better.

"It is our personal responsibility, not our government’s responsibility, to find and acquire our next job."

True, but when someone can't find any employment- particularly due to health concerns they can not get treated under the for-profit, broken US health care system, SOMEONE in society- government- has to help out, or they'd be committing murder by proxy. Sometimes, great people- smart, educated people, need help to get BACK into the workforce by receiving care BEFORE they can work.

This notion is something conservatives often fail to grasp- they value profit- even the profit of others- over the lives of citizens- human beings- in need.

Many people think qualifications are what gets you a job -Not true.
Qualifications can help get an interview; but most people these days have some sort of qualification.
To get a job, you need to stand out from the crowd. What you know is what counts. Studies help you stand out if they are different to what the competition studied. Experience helps too. How you present is most important; communication skills, problem solving and your networking all help.

The "fish" handshake is the worst for me. I've interviewed with both male and female managers and the males always present a firm handshake. The females extended the "fishy fin" -- almost as if they were afraid to present a nice, firm handshake. She would extend her hand, palm down and fingers pointed slightly downward . . . I didn't know if I was supposed to shake it or kiss it. :-)

Your first appearance to a future employer is so important. Some if these rules might seem silly to some people who read this, like of course your hair should be neat. But, I think that there are people out there that need to be reminded of the simple facts. You only get one chance at the first impression and I hope that people follow your simple steps to getting the ob they want.
Best,

Re: How Easy Is The Job To Find Jobs?

JDan Eliot Casas — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 04:26:50 -0000

If you’ve been unemployed for a while, you probably know how mind-numbing unemployment can be. Instead of just waiting around for the “perfect” job opportunity, you should just take a job that will get you by. A flexible part-time job means that you have the opportunity to check out new full-time jobs as they come up, but it also means you have something to stay busy and pay the bills. Delivering pizzas, mowing lawns, or walking dogs – none of these is beneath you. As long as you’re working to put food on the table and a roof overhead, you can be proud of your accomplishments.

Hi Becky,

Thanks for this thoughtful post. I think everyone has to ask this question, and with a lot of employers cutting staff, it's time the employees were in control of the answers. Appreciate your tactful way of putting it!

Re: How To Become A Person Of Influence

The section on sociability is so true. For many (maybe most) people having comfortable interactions with others is basically second-nature. For the segment of society that doesn't have such natural sociability, it really does involve learning and practicing, practicing, practicing those skills. A super easy way to start gaining that ability is to get in the habit of asking people questions that require more than a one or two word answer. Listen carefully and follow up on what you've heard. As a reluctant introvert, that approach has helped me tremendously.

Re: How Much Is An Online Degree Worth?

Gary_Jacobsen — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 12:11:32 -0000

Dr. Otaigbe cannot be objective on this matter. He works for Strayer University, a for-profit school headquartered in Arlington, VA. Strayer's main source of income is from its online division, also headquartered in Virginia. The school lacks accreditation by SACS, AACSB, and NASPAA. As I've stated earlier, online degrees are trash.
