Four Challenges Recruiters Face in Today’s Economy by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 There’s a saying I’ve heard and used over the last several years... “Making money as a recruiter can be very volatile. When the economy is good, there’s almost nothing better, and when the economy is bad, there’s almost nothing worse.” I’ve been a recruiter for the last 23 years and have gone through multiple recessions in that time. I’ve been fortunate to begin my career during a recession. It actually taught me how to... |

“Dumb Down” Your Resume? by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 There was an article in the Wall Street Journal recently, titled: The New Resume: Dumb and Dumber with a subtitle of: "Job Seekers Play Down Their Credentials to Avoid Looking Overqualified" The story was about people that took graduate degrees, years of experience, or titles off their resumes that made them appear ‘overqualified’ for jobs to which they were applying. Does that work? and...Is that a good idea? Two ver... |

“I Can Do That!” by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 There’s an old ‘Seinfeld’ episode where George quit his job in Real Estate and is trying to decide what career he would like to go into next. He and Jerry are sitting around a coffee table while George throws out ideas of what he thinks he could do. They discuss his desires to be a Professor, an Architect, a Major League Baseball Manager, and several other things. He thinks he has applicable skills for any one of them. The onl... |

A Job Hunt is Sales! Yikes! by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 Not only is looking for a job, a full time job in itself...it’s a SALES position! Now, if your profession is in Sales anyway, this is not earth shattering news to you and you’re likely to be approaching it that way. If, however, you’re not a Sales person, this may be very bad news to you...you may be saying: I’m not a Sales Person type I don’t like Sales I’m not pushy enough I’m not aggressive enough I’m too hones... |

Always Ask For More...Right? by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 When is the right time to start negotiating the amount of an offer? And no matter what it is...it’s always better to ask for more...Isn’t it? One of the most common questions I come across from Job Seekers is how, and when, to negotiate an offer. As part of a Job Networking group, each time we present a topic on “Compensation Strategies” it becomes one of the best attended sessions. There seem to be many misconceptions of t... |

Appearance Matters! by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 There was a story on a popular Network TV News Magazine recently about people that are unemployed and decide to get plastic surgery to improve their chances of getting a job offer. They spend anywhere from $12,000 to $18,000 on tummy tucks, facelifts, breast reductions, or a myriad of other procedures in the hopes of looking more ‘hirable’ in some way. Does appearance really matter that much? May surgery really be necessar... |

Are You a Talker? by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 In an interview, are you a talker? Many people that can normally carry on great two-way conversations, talk way too much in an interview! Whether it's nerves, a compulsion to make sure the interviewer knows everything about them, or a false idea that they are supposed to dominate the interview, people often hurt their chances of progressing in the hiring process because of an overactive mouth. A good interview is a tw... |

Are You Ready? by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 You just got laid off from your job (Ouch!), and getting ready to begin a new job search. Are you ready? What should you do first, and what tools will you need? Most people jump in, sending out resumes or contacting people unprepared. Usually they are ineffective, and sometime set themselves up to do real damage. Get yourself organized and make a plan before you begin and your efforts will be much more fruitful. Here ar... |

Being ‘Pleasantly Persistent’! by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 “I sent in a resume...” or “I had an interview...over a week ago and haven’t heard anything. Should I call to follow-up?” or “How much is too much when calling or emailing to follow-up?” I get asked this question in one form or another regularly, and my standard answer is: “It pays to be ‘Pleasantly Persistent’!” What’s that? It’s connecting multiple times in a way that draws them to you rather than giving them the urge... |

Beware the Phone Interview! by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 Very common in today’s job market is an initial phone interview. As hiring companies get inundated with applicants, they save a great deal of time by screening out many ‘close fit’ candidates through an initial phone interview rather than having the person come in. Candidates often take these phone conversations lightly, assuming that if the company called, they will certainly bring them in. Phone interviews can be wrought wit... |
