My take on the LinkedIn term “Open to Work”- I think LinkedIn missed the mark on this one. I think this phrase makes amazing applicants sound desperate or willing to settle. I know these applicants are not desperate or wanting to settle. I suggest LinkedIn just identifies a change by color and explain separately what it can mean. Thejobwizards.com

That is an interesting take. But isn't the mere fact that you are unemployed give some hiring managers the impression you must be desperate?

Brad, great point . . . the word choise is blase . . . how about "Excited for my next opportunity." Open sounds so passive & not active. Just my 2 cents!

I thought this video has some similar parallels to the job search hunt. Let go of the disappointments and keep plugging forward. https://lnkd.in/gnnD3NpT

Reshma Saujani on Instagram: "Happy #FailureFriday. I took up tennis a few years ago after my oldest son started getting really into it. I started playing because I was feeling left out and I wanted an activity to do with my son, but what I found in this game is a real appreciation for learning how not to give up. To get good at tennis (especially when you’re starting in your mid-40s!), you have t

I have just read several posts about being stoked and positive for the upcoming week. There is a spark that happens mentally and physically with this type of an attitude. You can’t control everything in your week but you sure can decide your attitude. I love that these ladies are sharing with the community too.

For a while now, I’ve been pushing kindness more heavily than anything else. For me, it’s a crucial part of the legacy I’m building. I want to build big businesses and buy the Jets, but I want to do it by being a good guy. I have zero interest in building the biggest building by tearing other people down. The problem is that some people see kindness as a weakness. They confuse it with being passive or being a pushover. The truth is, people who view kindness as a negative are just insecure themselves. You can only be kind if you feel that you’re coming from a place of leverage. That’s why I see kindness as a massive advantage, not a passive trait — especially if you’re a naturally “tough” person. As I go through my own life, I’m realizing more and more how kindness is such a big part of the equation. It’s not just about sales and negotiation. It’s not just about doing what you love. That’s why It breaks my heart that so many people think “nice guys finish last.” People don’t get that kindness is the best business strategy.

I just read this from someone who recently got a job. "Over 300 applications sent. Once I stopped blind applying and I utilized my connections & recruiters I saw better results." Use your connections. Tell people you're looking and ask for help. You got this.
