"My Dears - You are my shining stars! Peter, the anchor man with the dead-on instincts. Pam, who keeps her eyes and ours on the ball. Anne, who can see what's missing and adds it. Skills+Love=Success."
~Love, Lianne, Portland
 
"What you all did was unbelievable - you turned on the light bulb! How did you do it? I think only you know that. Please, use your secret on as many of us as possible."
~Loresa, Camas, WA

"Thanks for having your Support/Networking Group available to all of us. It was a lifesaver during a very difficult time of unexpected transition and made such f huge difference to have a place to go and see familiar friends to share experiences on Monday mornings. Know that you provide people hope for the future when they often feel lost and alone in the journey to whatever is next." - Margaret

Wisdom From The Experts   |   Job Happiness Test

The Ten Truths of Job/ Career Transition

Truth #1

In most cases people hire people they know and like -- whether or not the candidate has the exact experience, background or skills to do the job.

Truth #2

Most jobs that are available this minute are not advertised or posted anywhere. These unadvertised jobs constitute the "hidden job market."

Truth #3

There is a structured and directed manner of accessing the hidden job market. It is a networking process called the New Way job search, and most people don't know how to do it effectively.

Truth #4

Until you take yourself seriously and come to grips with your skills, values and interests -- the essence of who you are -- you will not find enjoyable and satisfying work.

Truth #5

What "they" want is not nearly as important as what you want.

Truth #6

Tell me how you will make me money, save me money or save me time, and I will seriously consider you as a candidate for a position in my company, whether or not I have an opening.

Truth #7

The Prime Rule of the job search is: Open your mouth and talk to people -- anyone, anywhere, anytime.

Truth #8

You do not need a resume to do a job search.

Truth #9

A successful job search is 10 percent analytical (technique, strategy) and 90 percent emotional (how you feel about yourself and your ability to relate to the rest of the world).

Truth #10

Whatever you believe to be the truth about the job market probably isn't.
