Perspective makes a world of difference, doesn’t it? As you get older, you can see conflict and struggle in a better perspective and as momentary events that are blips on life’s radar. That may be true with your job search also…
Successful Job Interview
Somewhere we’ve picked up the notion that selling yourself in a job interview is supposed to emulate the snake oil salesperson from long ago. You know the kind of person I’m talking about. The one that’s full of bluster, talks loud, makes outrageous claims, doesn’t listen to the audience, except to point out that the product will solve every problem. But the claim that selling yourself in an interview should be like this character couldn’t be further from the truth.
Job Search Decisions
A job search is a plethora of necessary decisions, decisions that can cause you to feel overwhelmed, because each decision is so important, and so much depends on making the right one. There is a way you can take some of that pressure off and still make all the right choices…
Choose New Job
If you’re looking for a new job, how do you know which is the right job to pursue? Where do you look for inspiration and direction? Maybe it isn’t so much where you search, but how you search that will make the difference. Is your thinking on right?
Job Search Desperation
There are days when all you want to do is cry. “God, please get me out of this prison.”

Help With Job Search
“Can I really depend on God to give direction for my job search through the Scriptures? After all, it was not written to me or to a contemporary culture.”

Difficulty Creating Your Resume
Do you have nit-picker’s disease? Things you write – in this case, your résumé – are never quite good enough, never quite done. How can you be cured of that disease?
Create Great Resume
You’ve heard it all your life, your parents would tell you it’s not a good idea to brag or boast about things you’ve done. Others don’t like to hear it, because it sounds too much like pride. That was good advice when you were a kid. But does it hold true when you’re creating your résumé? To brag or not to brag?
Job Search Group Effort
You should not do your job search alone. You can be independent, but not a loner. You need others to review your résumé, to provide job leads, to offer advice, to be referrals. A job search is indeed a group effort.
