For many people, it is an idea too scary to contemplate. For others, it’s reality. Being in your 50s and having no meaningful savings is certainly a frightening and serious situation, but by no means is it hopeless. People are living longer and in better health than ever before and it is never really too late to start making positive moves.

With too many people looking for too few jobs, employers are being very selective and demanding more than ever from job candidates. Marketing yourself with a résumé that simply explains the things you’ve done in previous positions is not enough. Employers want to understand your ability to add value through results and your potential contribution to the bottom line. Recruiters are looking for people with strong records of accomplishment who stand out from others, because that’s whom they can easily sell to hiring managers.

At www.AttractJobsNOW.com, as we recruit for corporate clients, we look for candidates who provide the five following qualifications, which we’ve found hiring managers deem essential:

1. Expertise. In a field where many people have very similar job titles, what makes you stand out? If you have trouble defining your expertise, start by listing your responsibilities at your latest and previous positions and then prioritize them in order of their value to the business. Mark the tasks where you provided substantial results. Then you’ll see your expertise.

2. Success stories. Have you increased revenue or profit? Have you decreased costs or minimized risk? Tell concise success stories of how you met these goals and you’ll make yourself an exceptional candidate. To identify those success stories you must understand how your position and your accomplishments clearly helped the bottom line of the business. That allows you to explain the value you’ve provided in the past and can offer in the future.

3. Recommendations. A recommendation from a manager or colleague is far more valuable than any self-endorsement. LinkedIn lets you show recommendations right on your profile, which creates instant credibility. Be sure to ask recommenders for write-ups that explain your concrete contributions and value to specific projects or areas of business. Ideally you should ask for a recommendation right after you’ve provided those results, as that’s when your value is most appreciated. I offer examples of effective professional recommendations on my own LinkedIn profile at www.linkedin.com/in/jeromeyoung.

4. Work samples. Examples of what you’ve done are far more effective that just talking about what you’ve done. Websites, pictures of products and actual products themselves grab an employer’s attention and generate interest. I have offered employers a slide show with pictures of me working, just so they can visualize me effectively laboring in their behalf.

5. A consistent message. Your résumé, cover letter, website, LinkedIn profile and interview remarks should all promote a consistent message. If you change the message in one of those places, update the others. At www.AttractJobsNOW.com we recommend that whenever a client receives our résumé and cover letter service, they update their LinkedIn profile as well. An inconsistent message clouds the credibility of your accomplishments.

As you conduct your job search, remember that recruiters are evaluated by their ability to find a few of the most highly qualified candidates for any position. The more confident a recruiter feels about your accomplishments and ability to meet the needs of hiring managers, the more interested he or she will be in you as a candidate. Help yourself along by making sure you’ve covered the five points above.

Common Job Search Mistakes

June 10, 2010 by sparktalk

By CAREEREALISM-Approved Expert, Debra Wheatman

Many job search candidates spend innumerable hours pursuing employment opportunities; yet many do not achieve the desired results. Having worked with thousands of people trying to obtain positions of increased responsibility in their chosen industry or field, I have encountered the following common mistakes, resulting in failure to achieve optimal outcomes:

No organized search strategy: You need a plan. Keep yourself organized with a list of things you need to do on a daily basis. This list will allow you to focus your efforts in the areas that require your full attention. Would you go to the supermarket without a list of things you need? If you do, I will guarantee you forget to buy something or purchase things you don’t need. Your job search works in a similar fashion. The list will allow you to plan for a successful campaign.

No record keeping: It is important to keep a list or spreadsheet of some kind so you can review to whom you have sent your resume or the contacts made. There is no possibility of you being able to recall all of the companies or people that you have contacted – let alone those that may have contacted you. Without a record, you might miss an opportunity, or worse be unprepared when someone does reach out to you. Make sure you keep names, dates, and details of discussions you had. Your records will allow you to follow-up when appropriate and supports your organized approach (see above.)

No use of diverse search methods: You cannot simply apply online and think the calls are going to roll in. A job search requires far more effort than the use of the Internet. The following must be done to ensure a successful campaign:

• Identifying specific companies where you might be interested in working. Once you have a list, you should do some research to get the name of someone internally to direct your correspondence.
• Conducting research regarding the names of people in senior level positions. Use trade publications and the Internet to uncover names of people. Trade publications can be a great source of information, including providing you with movement within your targeted industry.
• Leveraging your network of friends and family members. Your network should also include people you meet at local networking events. You will not be able to join every group so choose wisely. Engage with people that you meet to establish relationships that can be reciprocal.
• Identifying a few niche job boards where you can post your resume. You should not broadcast it on every board out there. You will look desperate.
• Establishing a relationship with a few key recruiters. Like any relationship, you will need to work at maintaining contact. Recruiters definitely know the market and have contacts within the companies where them make placements. You cannot work with everyone. Make sure you choose wisely; be prepared to conduct a fair amount of follow up to keep communication lines open.

Failure to maintain a positive outlook: One of the best, and most important things you can do for yourself and your search is to develop and maintain a positive approach. Every person you meet or interact with represents an opportunity. Given people are drawn to those that are positive, a strong finish necessitates that you give positive vibes. Under no circumstances should you complain or be the picture of doom. It will take time; you will work hard – BUT in the end, the person who can remain engaged and willing to embrace a proactive and positive focus will generate results.

If you’re a job seeker who is frustrated with your search for employment, take heart: you’re not the only one. The national unemployment rate last month for May was 9.7%, with 15 million jobless people in the country. But if you’re more of a go-getter, it might be time to drastically edit your resume and prepare yourself for a career change. While jobs may be scarce, these are the sectors that are hiring, according to the latest numbers from the U.S. Bureau of Labor.

IN PICTURES: 6 Hot Careers With Lots Of Jobs

Mining
Just last month, 10,000 new jobs were added to the mining industry, the majority of them support jobs like exploration, sampling and drilling. The U.S. Bureau of Labor says there has been an increase of 50,000 jobs in this field since October 2009.

Although mining is often considered a fairly dangerous industry, wages are often much higher than similar type of work in other industries. The National Mining Association estimates that in order to replace retiring workers and to meet increasing demand, 50,000 new coal mining employees will be needed over the next 10 years. (For most office works, the only on-the-job health hazards are spilled coffee or the occasional paper cut, but there are many workers who battle fatal injuries on the job every day. Find out more in America’s 10 Most Dangerous Jobs.)

Manufacturing
Since December, factory employment has risen by 126,000, with the increase due to more orders and shipments of durable goods like computers, aircraft and machinery, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. In May, the fabricated metals products and machinery sectors added the largest number of jobs at 10,400 and 5,700 respectively. (The unemployment rate may be high, but that doesn’t mean you need to sit on the sidelines. Find out which fields have the most potential in 10 Careers With Great Job Prospects.)

As the weather (finally) begins to get warmer and the winter doldrums become a distant memory, this might be a good time to do some “spring cleaning” with regards to your finances. Here are some tips to help you perform a money makeover.

Organize Your Paperwork
This is the perfect time to get your financial files in order, since you’ll need to dig through all your receipts, statements and other paperwork anyway to file your taxes. Rather than shoving all those papers back into a drawer (or, worse, the proverbial shoebox), spend some time setting up an organized filing system.

You may also want to look into an online-based record keeping system such as Shoeboxed.com so you’ll have backup copies of financial files offsite, which will come in handy in case of fire or other disaster. There are also online financial tools that track your expenses, which can be especially helpful for those who tend to spend more than they earn. (These smartphone apps won’t break the bank – in fact, they may help you save money. Don’t miss 6 Financial Apps You’ll Love.)

“Get an online cash flow program like Mint.com and become aware of what you are spending and create a spending plan for the next year,” suggest Richard S. Kahler, CFP and owner of Kahler Financial Group.

Reassess Your Portfolio
Robert Korajczyk, professor of finance at Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, says the current economic situation has left many investors holding portfolios with asset allocations that are very different than they were a few years ago.

“A good spring cleaning of one’s portfolio should include a thorough reassessment of the portfolio’s allocation across broad categories like domestic and international stocks, fixed income assets and real estate,” says Korajczyk. “If you find yourself holding too much equity, given stock volatilities, reallocate to fixed income assets. Conversely, if you’ve completely gotten out of the market, it is probably time to consider increasing your exposure to equities.”

Capitalize on Capital Losses
“If you are sitting on assets that have lost value, sell them in order to realize capital losses that you can use to reduce your tax burden,” Korajczyk says. (Get a hold of yourself! Take losses in stride and learn to invest dispassionately in Taking The Sting Out Of Investment Loss.)

Review Your Withholdings
Speaking of taxes, if you were lucky enough to get a tax refund this year, don’t make the mistake of viewing it as money that falls from the sky. It’s actually an interest-free loan you’ve been giving to Uncle Sam. If you consistently overpay income taxes, you are having too much money withheld from your paycheck. Talk to your employer’s personnel office and have them adjust your tax info. You’ll end up with more money in your pocket every payday. (When you get a refund, you’ve essentially lent your money to the government, interest-free. Find out how to keep your money working in your favor, year-round in Don’t Bank On A Tax Refund.)

Do A Coverage Check-Up
Most people don’t give their insurance much thought – until it’s too late. Kahler says this is a good time to study your insurance policies. Make sure all policy info, especially important details like your home’s replacement value, is correct and up-to-date.

“Also, make sure you have as much liability insurance as possible – preferably $500,000 per incident. At the same time, see if you have unneeded coverage – like towing on your auto policy when you also are a member of AAA, which covers towing, too.”

Prepare For the Inevitable
The sunny and bright outdoor atmosphere may make it a little easier for you to tackle some somber subjects. A true financial makeover wouldn’t be complete without an examination of your will and other estate-related issues. The first step, Kahler says, is to review your will. Next, evaluate your insurance.

“Make sure your life insurance is adequate if you have children,” he says. “That means no less than $500,000 and preferably $1 million for the breadwinner and at least $250,000 for the stay-at-home parent.”

Designate Your Heirs
Along the same lines, Kahler offers an important reminder. “Check the beneficiaries and contingent beneficiaries of your IRAs, 401(k)s and other retirement plans. You may be surprised at who they are or who they aren’t,” he says. “Remember, if you have no contingent beneficiary, the proceeds go to your estate and the ultimate recipient of the IRA will have to take all the funds out and pay the income tax within five years.”

Review Your Retirement Fund
Ideally, you’ll live a long, healthy life – which means you’ll need enough of a nest egg to get you through your golden years. “Are you maximizing your retirement plans or saving at least 20% of your income for retirement and to fund your emergency savings reserve?” Kahler asks. If not, put that at the top of the priority list. (If you hope to enjoy a comfortable retirement, it’s time to get real. Read four cold, hard truths every soon-to-be retiree must face in 4 Retirement Reality Checks.)

Put Some Spring In Your Step
When it comes to financial issues, hibernation isn’t an option. Spending a little time and effort creating a new financial plan can really pay off in the end.

Career Changers: Are You Taking The Easy Option?

Career Changer: “Sital, I need your advice.

I’m a qualified accountant but have taken a career break for a number of years for family reasons. I’m about to start a 12 month teacher training course and become a teacher. But I’m not too sure if I’m doing the right thing. What do you think?

Sital: “Firstly, tell me attracts you to teaching. What made you sign up for the course?”

Career Changer: “Well it’s the easy option”

Sital: “The easy option?”

Career Changer: “Yes. There’s a shortage of teachers and so it should be easy to find work. Plus we’ll always need teachers.”

Sital: “ok……so what else attracts you to teaching?”

Career Changer: “The holidays. Teachers get lots of holidays”

Sital: “Apart from it being easy and all the holidays, what else draws you to the profession and the course?”

Career Changer: “Nothing else really – that’s it”

Sital: “Can I ask what kind of research you’ve done into teaching?

Career Changer: “Oh I’ve done lots of reading on the internet”

Sital: “Have you spent time in schools as a teacher’s assistant or time with other teachers to understand what the role involves and what parts you’d enjoy or be good at?”

Career Changer: “Well no…”

Sital: “Let me ask you a question:

Let’s imagine I came to you for advice because I was about to start training to become an accountant. I had no experience and had never spent time with an account, but thought it would a nice and easy option – after all, we’ll always need accountants.

Does that sound like a good idea?

Career Changer: “No, you can’t do that!”

Sital: “Why not?”

Career Changer: “Because it’s not that easy. The course and the job are demanding.”

Sital: “Oh, I’ll be fine – I’m good with numbers. And it’s a nice easy option. I can work freelance, work from home and take holidays when I like.”

Career Changer: “That’s just not right”

Sital: “Oh why not?”

Career Changer: “Because you’re not passionate about accountancy.”

Sital: “Really?

Well isn’t that what you’re doing? Choosing teaching because you think it’s an easy option, yet you’ve no passion for it.”

Career Changer: “Aaaah….yes”

(The penny dropped)

Career Changer: “I think I need to do some more research into teaching. And maybe look at finding a career which I’m passionate about.”

Choosing a career option because you assume it’s the easy or safe option is a huge disservice to both the profession and the people the profession serves: pupils, patients or clients.

But it’s an even bigger disservice to yourself.

If you’re going to put yourself through the stress, hassle and set backs of shifting careers then at least ensure it’s something you care about, something you’re excited about doing, something you’re intrinsicly motivated to do. You’ll be far more satisfied and successful.

Are you taking the easy option…?

Thank you for this post. I wish I had been given this advice several years ago after attempting a career change in a very similar manner.

I love this post, Sital! “Easy” options may not be so smart in the long run, especially if you end up in a career that’s not what you thought it would be.

Among other things, the career changer you talked with should consider why there is a shortage of teachers and what teachers do during their holidays (elementary education is part of my background, so I can assure you that “holidays” for teachers don’t always equal time off from work!)

Posted by: Melissa | March 23, 2010 at 02:40 PM

I agree Sital, it is really a fact that as long as we live, there is always and a lot of ways to improve our learnings. There is always a room for improvement as we learn.

Hhhmmm…my statement was kinda going round but same point…kidding aside…lol!

Warren Buffett once compared choosing a career to choosing a spouse. The truth is that most of us will spend more time working than we will spend with our spouses. It makes sense that at least as much care and consideration should go into that process as well.

You don’t need to turn on the television to know that today’s tough economy is affecting everyone. And luxuries, like that nice vacation to a warm, faraway resort, are no longer an option for many. In this economy, “staycation” is the buzzword. It means having a vacation while staying at home. It’s a compromise, especially if you don’t live near a beach or desirable vacation spot, but there are many benefits. Think about it - no airline tickets to buy, no hotel to book, no need to find someone to take care of the pets or plants. You can even forgo expensive restaurant meals if you’re on a very tight budget. A staycation does need a little planning though, just like any other vacation. Here are six steps to make your staycation a success:

In Pictures: Vacation Savings Tips

1. Be a Tourist
For your trip to feel like a vacation, you have to approach it as if you were planning a getaway to a place you haven’t been before. Start by pretending you’re a tourist in your own town or city. Visit the tourist information center and pick up any information you can. Look online for your town’s better business bureau – there’s often a ton of information for tourists, and even information packages you can order at little or no charge. Your town’s newspaper lists local events, like exhibits or festivals, so pick up a copy. Try an online search with your town’s name and “events,” just to see what comes up.

2. Make a Budget
How much can you afford to spend? Be realistic about this, because there’s nothing worse than post-vacation financial stress. Remember, a staycation eliminates the bulk of your travel expenses. Do count on spending money on gas (to drive where you need to go) and admissions to any attractions if applicable. You can always bring food with you to avoid straining your budget. (For more savings tips on a traditional vacation, see Shoulder Season: Your Ticket To The Perfect Vacation and Cruise Ships: Reining In Vacation Spending.)

3. Plan Your Day Trips  
After you gather all your information and create a budget, make a shortlist of places to visit. Included the hours, costs and driving distance. Be sure to check the websites of the places you are visiting; some museums and other attractions have discounts or even free admission on certain days of the month. If you have family members who are coming along, make sure they all get to pick a place to visit. This will make your staycation more memorable and more of a family event.

4. Plan Your Meals      
For a really tight budget, simply plan to bring a picnic along. If you’re bringing little ones, kids love a stop at a park for a meal outside. Or if you do have room in your budget for a meal out, pick your restaurant ahead of time rather than eating on the fly. This gives you a chance to use a coupon or plan around discounted meal days for children or seniors. Try your local free newspapers and magazines, or the Sunday paper to track down deals and coupons. A little planning can pay off with big savings.

5. Do Your Homework
Now that you have your game plan ready to go, it’s time for final preparation. The drawback of a vacation-at-home is that you are at home. This means there are chores to be done, groceries to buy and phone calls to return. To make your staycation feel like a true getaway, make sure you finish any of your normal tasks beforehand. Tell your friends you’re on vacation and you’ll be out of town for however many days you’ve planned your trip for. Clear your schedule and take time off work like you would if you were getting on a plane. Clean the house, pay the bills and buy groceries for the week. This will help you to truly feel like you’re getting a break, even if you’re not packing a suitcase.

6. Have a Back-Up Plan
Have a Plan B ready, for inclement weather or other contingencies. Alternate different activities, like a museum visit and a zoo visit, especially if you’re planning on bringing little ones with limited attention spans. If you’re driving longer one day, pick an activity closer to home the next day so you don’t spend two days in a row in the car. When your plans fall through completely on a given day (because of the weather, for instance), have a back-up plan like a movie day with popcorn or a game day indoors. The key to a fun and relaxing time, as with any vacation, is to be flexible.

The Bottom Line
If your budget is tight, a staycation can be a relaxing break without the high price tag. Have a great staycation! (For money-saving vacation tips, check out Travel Tips For Keeping You And Your Money Safe and Travel Smart By Planning Ahead.)

What To Do When You REALLY Can’t Get a Job…

If, despite conducting an advanced job search with a great branded resume, you still can’t get a job in your chosen field/function, the options below are worth considering. Short on time? Skim the bolded areas below to get the gist of these 3 strategies.

1. KNOW WHERE THE JOBS ARE IN YOUR FIELD AND REDIRECT YOUR CAREER TOWARDS THEM. Do research to uncover the areas of high-demand and the areas that will languish going forward. Consider getting a relevant certification or doing an internship in the growth area.

In IT, there are areas where hiring is expected to be strong and areas where the jobs may be gone forever. The Hackett Group is recommending that companies not hire back laid-off system admins and support staff, but rather outsource those jobs to other countries where the pay scales are lower. Someone called me last week and told me that his job in IT – inside sales – was being offshored to India. So a job that he assumed was secure turned out not to be.

Areas of projected high growth in IT are Security, Healthcare IT, Global Wireless, Virtualization Software, Business Analytics, SaaS. Can you get qualified to work in one of these specialty areas?

2. CHANGE YOUR CAREER & GET CERTIFIED IN A NEW FIELD. You may or may not be ready for a radical change, but sometimes, to transition to a growth sector and start paying the bills, there is a solution that would enable you to get a good job with  good-enough pay (depending on your requirements) after only a few months or, in some cases, a year or more of study and internship. (A year of studying beats a year of knocking your head against the wall going to job fairs and sending out resumes.)

Review your local community college’s certification programs. Inquire into its career placement program and its ties to local businesses that may be hungry for graduates of the certification programs. These certifications often came about because of the dearth of skilled employees in those areas and business demand for employees in the region.

There are certifications in many areas, including public safety and homeland security, human resources, and auditing. To stay in IT, you can increase your eligibility for IT jobs in healthcare by getting a healthcare IT certification. Hiring in this area can be expected to be strong as healthcare delivery becomes increasingly IT-dependent.

This is a sample of my local community college’s offerings: there is a new Energy Utility Technology Certificate Program meant to help meet the “urgent, long-term need” of utilities for these specialists. Utility SmartGrid initiatives will be requiring IT employees and others. Biotechnology Technician is another certification that is offered that, like the energy certification, requires an internship, giving you real-world, valuable experience with an employer that would give you an edge in hiring. Computer Forensics Certification. Dental Assisting. Many others.

Earning a valued healthcare certification may help you change your career. As the population of aging Americans grows, more services will be needed. There are many clinical-professional as well as administrative certifications in healthcare. Some in-demand jobs with certifications are: MRI technologist, radiation therapist, and nuclear medicine technologist. There are other certifications that promise to be growth areas as boomers age such as Certified Life Care Planner and Certified Life Care Manager, as well as Medicare Set-Aside Certified Consultant.

3. GET CREATIVE, FOLLOW YOUR PASSION, AND CHANNEL YOUR INNER ENTREPRENEUR. On NPR’s “On Point” radio program on “Life After Layoffs,” the discussion centered around a film, “Lemonade,” about what the laid-off executives of a Manhattan ad agency went on to do when it was clear there were no jobs for them. One exec profiled turned his avocation into his vocation. He left Manhattan for a studio upstate and now sells enough of his paintings to live well in a less-expensive region. (The strategy of reducing your expenses and/or changing your lifestyle is one that can help you make the transition away from a big paycheck and towards a more meaningful career.) One exec became a yoga and holistic health counselor. Another became a career reinvention coach. One caller took his passion for European car parts and turned it into an Internet business.

Many people’s successful alternative careers are heavily dependent on technology for making products and on the Internet for selling products and services.

Wired Magazine (Feb. 2010) predicts that a new industrial revolution is in the making “in an age of open source, custom-fabricated, DIY product design.” Now that individuals are able, without a high capital outlay, to use computers and 3-D printers to design and prototype new products and then outsource custom, “small-batch” manufacturing to China, many small entrepreneurs are successfully bringing their products to market. Some examples? A kit car manufacturer. A company that makes accessories that interface with Lego blocks. Bike components. Customer furniture. Noise-canceling wireless headsets. If you have a great idea for a new product, you may be able to grow a business from your garage.

IN SUMMARY. If you are out of work and feel out of options, these new directions might spark an idea for you that could result in a rewarding new career. With the fast pace of technological change, the vicissitudes of the market, and an increasingly global economy, it makes sense for everyone – jobless or not – to be thinking about having an ace up their sleeve and an idea about how to adapt to “what’s next.”

Useful guidelines but also look at how others have built great careers as I found at http://myamazingpeople.com/

Posted by: Muso | March 30, 2010 at 03:59 AM

Good insightful article. With the current employment rates, many talented qualified people remain mired in job search.

Posted by: Ernie Perez | March 30, 2010 at 07:07 AM

Muso, it looks like that site is about amazing people who lived in the past. There are, however, some cool sites with “alternative” jobs on them such as coolworks.com. Or people can search on “weird jobs” and find some really different ones.

Posted by: Jean Cummings | March 30, 2010 at 10:58 AM

Ernie, you are so right! It is shocking that there is so much talent out there – and that those folks can’t get work. The employment market is picking up though, from where I sit, and the strategies I mention in the blog are viable for some people if they can’t get a job in their field.
