A note to job seekers from nationally syndicated careers
columnist and author or Job Search Letters For Dummies,
Joyce Lain Kennedy:
Welcome aboard, job seekers! Thanks for checking out this first
guide to communications-supported job search and career
growth in relentlessly changing technological times.
The right messaging — what you say, why you say it,
and when you say it — is as important today to your
employment goals as it has been at any time since Leonardo da Vinci
wrote the first professional resume in 1482.
Consider recent job-finding history:
* In 1986 fax machines and postal mail were the most popular ways
to send resumes and cover letters.
* In the 1990s the Internet boom kicked in with new tools to
connect jobs and people: e-mail, websites, cell phones, mailing
lists, and online bulletin boards.
* In the 21st century the double-time march of recruiting
technology skyrocketed, building a techno-swamp populated with
endless ideas of how to connect work and people through
smartphones, wonder tablets, apps, and social media for virtual
networking.
You’re competing in a new world of work out there.
If your job search is treading water — or even
drowning– there’s a better way. Make a splash! Engage
hiring authorities through a communications-centered campaign with
smart content.
