Monday, April 5, 2010StarTribune: Ask Matt: Help! I Can't Find A Job Dear Matt: I've been out of work for two years. I've used 50 job search sites, read 10 books on job searching and career change, and I have a counselor at the WorkForce Center; and still no job. What I want to hear is "You're hired - you start Monday." I have 30 years of experience and two degrees but no job. Matt: Surfing websites and reading books are a good supplement to the job search but should never be the main focus. So my question is, what have you done in regards to networking, making contacts, getting out and actually meeting people who can help you in the job search? What have you done differently in this time period to get you out of the same routine? "Stop what you're doing, get off the Internet, find positive people to surround yourself with, figure out what you want and then start networking," says Catherine Byers Breet, a 12-year recruiting veteran, author, speaker and recovering job hunter who has helped over 3,000 people with her Job Hunt Coaching System. Byers Breet recommends trying this approach:
It's time to start over and try something new. Get off the computer, put the books down and go meet people - real people who can help you - and who know people who can hire you. "The shortest distance between the job you want and where you are, is through two things: knowing (clearly and concisely) what you want and networking," says Byers Breet. "Not an easy path, I know - but I also know that it works." Matt Krumrie is a freelance writer from Inver Grove Heights, and has nine years experience reporting on the employment industry.

Sunday, November 15, 2009AM950 KNTF - The Voice of Minnesota Hi, I am Doug. Thanks for visiting my site. When it comes to these sorta-formal, non-personal, neo-professional introductions I like to refer to myself as a social and theological entrepreneur (something I would never do if we were to meet in person).
