Subject: LI, staying positive, and are you 1 of these types?

I remember when I was laid off years ago.  I was happy that it happened and I was full of confidence that I would find a job very quickly.

Then the applying began.  And the waiting.  And interviewing.  And more waiting...

It really does a number on your state of mind.

Here's a nice article about staying positive during your search.

While you are searching, are you using LinkedIn?  If you aren't sold on this site, then you are really missing out.  Yet another survey states what is obvious to most.

Once under some stress, we tend to revert to certain traits and behaviors.  This article is for recruiters about the 5 types of candidates.  Are you one of these types?

Hopefully, during the interview, we can build some rapport and trust with the interviewer.  I've always believed that one can build credibility by asking great questions.  Are you asking these?

Lastly, don't forget the job fair this TUESDAY, August 27th, 10a - 1p.  Hosted by the Lowell Spinners and 2 local career centers.

The job fair information is here.

Have a great week!  Let me know how  else I can be of assistance.
