    10 Things a Career Advisor Shouldn't Do

    DateThu, July 29, 2010 at 12:00

    Careers professionals, such as advisors, coaches, mentors, counsellors, and guides can be helpful, but, like everything else in life, they are good ones, bad ones and ones in between. If your careers professional does any of these things you know you've definitely got someone who is not the best at career consulting!:

    1) Says 'You've got 10 minutes' as you sit down and then spends the whole of that 10 minutes checking his watch.

    2) Listens to you pour your heart out as you explain your career issues and then replies, 'I don't see what the problem is, everything sounds ok to me'.

    Why we shouldn't rush the job search

    DateMon, July 26, 2010 at 12:00

    In a recent survey of more than 5000 UK jobseekers by TotalJobs.com, it was found that 60% spend less than two hours working on each application following a job search, all inclusive of the time it takes to write a CV and covering letter, and to prepare for an interview.

    What does this reveal? It seems that many of us think that when we’re looking for a job, we have to cram in as many job applications as possible. The laws of probability determine that the more jobs we apply for, the more chance we’ll have of getting one, right? What we don’t realise is that it just doesn’t work like that. An employer organisation will hire you because your application and interview were of a high quality. You made the effort to show that you have what that organisation values in terms of both capability and enthusiasm for the particular role. You won’t get hired by any organisation just because you happened to apply to 99 others. That just doesn’t make any sense!

    Top Ten Networking Books

    DateFri, July 23, 2010 at 12:00

    Even the most confident, social and outgoing among us may find the prospect of both personal and professional networking daunting at times. From an early age we’re taught “don’t talk to strangers” but when we grow up, we suddenly find ourselves thrust into situations, be it at parties or business events, where we’re expected to initiate conversation with random individuals who we’ve never seen before, don’t know and have nothing to do with. Not only that, but we’re expected to get tangible results out of such encounters. Be it our matchmaking friend or our sales manager, they expect you to leave that party or conference with a date or a business card.
