Wassup wit it

Hi folks. You are great. To those who have gotten a job, congrats! To those who are struggling, I get it as I am in the same place. I am leaving this group as I am in the awkward position of not being able to open any mail or job descriptions I asked someone who is a computer expert (unlike me - I am average) and we can't open a thing. Just know my thoughts are with all of you. This is a great group Best, Karen

Today is major, first let me say that anytime you have 2 or more meetings your day is done, but I am looking forward to getting back with you all.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Carolina Jobcasers and their loved ones as they deal with Florence. Thanks to the Jobcase Team for getting out shelter and resource information to everyone ahead of landfall. We'll see how bad this is. In the past, we have mobilized our team and technology to try and help people get back on their feet quicker (like the "help Houston" campaign last year). A big theme of Jobcase is that we are all in this together. Its better for everyone when we help one another. We stand ready to do what we can again. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2018/09/14/hurricane-florence-sweeps-across-carolinas-bringing-life-threatening-rainfall/?utm_term=.734f6fb840b2

I am very happy. "I got a job and I wish God success and be at the good of the officials

I took the time to gather a series of resources for people on the job search. This will be a long read. If you are serious about finding a new job, this post is for you. For readability, it will be broken up into three parts of the job search - prepping for the job search, the job search, and the interview/hiring process. Feel free to follow the Jobcasers linked within - they are awesome people with great advice who can help you!

PREPARING FOR THE SEARCH

Patrick Coppedge 's post Make Sure You Have A Job Search Strategy is a great place to start. Before your search, you should sit down and examine what your goals are - besides finding a job. It will help make the process faster, and easier.

Patrick Coppedge 's post Your Resume May Need To Lose Weight is also a great checklist for going through your resume, and ensuring that it gives employers your best impression!

Ashley Wilson ’s post Your resume has gaps! is a good resource for fixing any resume gaps you may have before you start sending out your resume.

THE JOB SEARCH

Anthony Harrington ’s post Situational Depression and the Job Search touches upon the necessity of taking care of yourself during job search, how to do it, and how it will help you.

My post What they mean by ‘Overqualified’ will help translate what an employer means when they tell you that you are overqualified. Knowing what they really man will aid you in alleviating those concerns for them or for another employer and get you hired!

Ashley Wilson 's post DON’T let your resume fall through the cracks!! will help your resume get through applicant tracking systems (ATS) that employers may be using for online applications. You have a better chance at the job once it gets through and onto the hiring manager’s desk!

THE INTERVIEW/HIRING PROCESS

My post You should ALWAYS follow up an application!! gives you the best way to follow up job applications - from what you should say to how long you should wait.

Anthony Harrington 's post "Won’t Pay Me My Worth” discusses the issue of compensation, and understanding your fair market value for the job you applied for!

Veronica Jefferson ’s post Cred Checks Employment or No Employment - The 411 goes over why companies will perform credit checks on candidates for jobs they are hiring for, and what you can do to pass them in the future.

Best of luck with your job search! I sincerely hope this has helped you, and provides valuable information to help you land that dream job. Feel free to reach out to anyone in this list for more help, or comment below if you have any questions!

To all Jobcase community members:

We are thinking about the members of the Jobcase family bracing for Hurricane Florence’s landfall.

We want to provide help in any way we can at this time.

We encourage you to lend your support and share this information with anyone you may know in the affected areas.

We hope residents of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina find this downloadable Hurricane Preparedness PDF helpful and useful as Hurricane Florence makes landfall tonight. We’ve included emergency phone numbers, resources, and more details that are specific to each state.

Feel free to print this out and/or share with friends and family.

Stay safe.

Hurricane Florence Emergency Information

Hi All —

I wanted to post something a little different to actively engage with the community. I think it's important to give and receive feedback based on what your individual experiences and challenges are in the workforce. I want to pick your brain this time to see what you struggle with whether it's your resume? Your interviewing skills? Positioning? Wording? Maybe you have a question that gives you pause, makes you think or completely loses you causing hesitation?

Whatever your case is, there is a solution. Some are simple but some are complex, so I encourage anyone to take part in this engagement and ask a question, ask me a question, ask anyone else a question. Information and knowledge is very help and you just might learn something new along the way. Closed mouths don't get fed.

Remember that communication is the importance here. It helps you, helps me, and keeps the community continuously engaging.

Side Note: My responses may be delayed throughout the day but I will actively engaged with everyone.

I can't wait to have a job
