THIS is the problem with unemployment

Question from Job Seeker: Should you jump on the first job offer you receive?

I say NO, absolutely not, because people are stressed & anxious, they may end up taking on a job they do not really want out of fear, which will be obvious to all in the short-term, this could also lead to job-hopping.... Your thoughts?

ANSWER from Dennis:
My guess is your currently living on the government dollar, giving you the right to be selective. I have many candidates that would prefer to be on unemployment then take a short term deal - that is in their skill set.

But what I find and my guess is your question might confirm it, is that people equate Unemployment with receiving unemployment benefits. The idea of the benefits is for you to find work...period. If people had no money coming in at all, any job offer would be a good one.

If you were looking in your skill set and you had a reasonable offer then yes you should take it.

Take it to take care of you, take care of your family and participate with the working class.

You mention in your question people are stressed and anxious, why might that be? Because they are unemployed, they have bills and some one is going to help them make that right by paying them! You might have to think about taking it. You might not get a second chance considering where we are in our economy.

Job Hoping, personally, I appreciate all and any people that are working during these times and are trying to take care of themselves and their family. I will take an person that had a good skill set that is currently working at Starbucks® then someone unemployed sitting on the couch eating Cheetos® waiting for the "right" opportunity.

What do YOU think?

Are you prepared to navigate the current job market?

People follow my career advice if they want to get and keep the right job! Whatever they have been doing must not be working or they would have already gotten the job they wanted.

It’s that simple…you are doing something to repel potential employers and that keeps them from hiring you. The reason I tell you exactly what needs to be done is because in the hiring environment, employers will never give you a clue about why you've been eliminated. So you will continue to make the same mistakes and get the same results…unless you accept some tough love advice and let me guide you in making the little changes that get you noticed and hired.

Once candidates realize what they are saying and doing that results in rejection, and change that pattern, they will achieve all they want quickly and easily. If you want real change and are willing to put in a little effort and follow my advice, you can beat the odds of any economy, overcome any setback or banish any perceived weakness.

With 15 years of experience finding, coaching and placing candidates for all sorts of jobs, I don’t sugar coat the facts. I know how hiring managers make decisions and how you and your resume can meet their expectations. When it comes to what you need to do for success I speak very directly, which means I get right to the point and save you time and money. My job is to get you to your goal of getting and keeping the right job.

Many people are stuck with no work, no prospects and in no position to know what they want or would enjoy. With the stress that comes with being unemployed- financial hardship, family pressures, loss of status- people find themselves in a not so positive a state.

I believe that everyone is employable, if they want to be, it just requires the know-how and confidence I can give you. It can be as simple as a few corrections to your career communication to get into rapport with the people who making hiring decisions. Since people tend to like and favor people who are like them, you will find that your career opportunities improve dramatically when you use my tips to connect during every encounter with a potential employer. You may be offered jobs when you haven't yet applied.

My program of CORE Career Communication is divided into four important areas. I focus on Verbal, Non-Verbal, Internal and External Communication. Everything you say to yourself and whatever you say to others in a resume, phone call, email, or interview is the difference between you or someone else getting hired.

First, I give you a set of incredibly powerful tools. Then I provide you the straightforward knowledge of what is needed to succeed and a basic common sense approach to creating your best career communication. Through direct "smarkiness" and humorous stories, I illustrate what mistakes hiring professionals see from candidates on a daily basis. With these stories I show people what to do, how to improve and how to develop a smooth, successful approach. With my simple but comprehensive system, you can become your most presentable self in all situations and get that job!
