Finding Dream Job (in down economy)

How do you find your dream job in a down economy? What are some job-search tips for people in search of meaningful employment in a recession? A recent college graduate called me, and got me thinking about the 10 pieces of advice I’d offer someone trying to do a guerilla job search. When I graduated in 91 it was a crappy economy, so you learn some fortitude (unlike the folks that graduated during the bubble in 1999. Forget the traditional letters to recruiters, newspaper ads, and job boards. Too much competition there… it’s more efficient to network, interview well, use creative approaches, persist without being annoying. Here are 9 of my 10 tips. The one about interviewing well got me the most passionate, and it became a separate video (will post this week). Seriously- we’ve all been on one or both ends of a bad interview, and I feel so sorry for people that don’t know the basics on that. Hope this helps! It’s free, anyway. :) Any tips for the rest of us?

    Great advice but… it’s hard to take you seriously when you are endangering yourself and others by distracted driving.

    This was a great vid, 5/5, but man please watch the road. Have roommates you need to get away from?

    why do people keep looking for a job? Look at the German culture. They have vocations. They know how to build, sew, plant, grow, repair, they have skills and put them to use. Problem solved. A Job leads to TAXES. who needs that? Get out of the Job box. REally. AMericans need to find their culture again. A bible in one hand and a gun in the other.

    Great Advice

  20. DevilsCuz says:

    Good video and helpful tips. The one thing I don’t get is couldn’t the guy find some time at home in his home office to make this video instead of driving while making this video? Is this the only free time he has? Slightly dangerous IMO.

    I zoned for awhile thinking, wow, no hands on the wheel, what if he hit a pot hole & the impact swings the steering wheel one way or the other. Then I began to admire the perfect alignment on that car
