The Power Of Social Network Transparency

Posted by Kevin W. Grossman • February 9th, 2012 • Leave a comment

This ‘us against them’ thing has really gotten out of hand. We live in an ‘Occupy Everything’ world where 24/7 transparency is occasionally clipped by anonymity and the Anonymous movement to disrupt supposed social injustices while complaints of retaliation by employers trumped race for the second consecutive year, according to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Now breathe and let’s start again… In the world of work, whether you’re looking for a new job or looking for advancement within, you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

5 Tips To Overcome Long-Term Unemployment

Posted by Nancy Mann Jackson • January 24th, 2012 • Leave a comment

In December, 13.1 million Americans were unemployed, and 5.6 million of those were long-term unemployed, meaning they had been without a job for more than 27 weeks, according to U.S. Department of Labor figures. The long-term unemployed accounted for more than 40 percent of all unemployed workers. As the economy continues to drag, the group of people who have been without a job for weeks and months on end seems to continue growing.

Evangelists Unite! Long Live The Online Profile!

Posted by Kevin W. Grossman • October 20th, 2011 • 11 Comments

In my last article I wrote that I wanted the resume to die and for folks to manage their career profiles online. Then a recruiter commented, “The resume is not dead. I’m a recruiter. Trust me, it’s not dead.” And I agree. It’s not dead. Far from it, unfortunately.

You have seen the posting… “Company ABC still needs a Product Manager” and you feel certain you, at the very least, are a qualified talent to be considered. But you’ve sent your resume / profile into the company’s black resume hole recently, heard nothing, had no luck trying to follow up and will be damned before putting yourself through that process again.
