Synopsis

Things have changed. Times have changed. And times are tough. You need new tools and new tactics to this new job reality. Click, Review, Apply and Pray (C*R*A*P) is what most veterans do when looking for a job online. Sadly, it is a recipe for no job. Job postings on company websites (and anywhere else on the Internet) are literally open to the world so the number of applicants for any posted job is going to be enormous. For example, a company in Irvine, California recently posted ONE job opening on their website and received over 4,000 resumes in one week! To succeed in your job search in our new economy requires creativity, a willingness to think outside the box and innovative approaches to effectively meet the challenges of finding employment.
