Author offer tips to keep job-seeking skills sharp
High unemployment continues. I suspect, in fact, that it's far worse than
official statistics indicate. How many people, for whatever reason, neglect to
apply for benefits or participate in other programs used to compile the
data?
Regardless, it's always worthwhile to keep job-seeking skills sharp.
Clarifying and defining career goals, strategies and tactics are useful ways to
maintain forward motion. Several recent books offer advice and support in this
never-ending quest.
Blueprint Your Future: Creating Powerful Personal and Career Results
through Alignment and Action. Susan Bosscawen. Butterfly Publishing. 69 pages.
Bosscawen's little gem cuts through the virtual field of bovine droppings
with a really incisive collection of self-assessments to help readers figure out
what to do with the rest of their lives. She smartly eschews feel-good pop
psychology and new age mumbo jumbo in favor of direct action. But considerable
thought and informed decision-making are demanded from the reader; this is no
passive experience, and so it consequently may not be for everyone. But if you
need to gain a clearer idea of your choices as you move on to the next chapter in
your career, this is an excellent place to begin the job.
