In 2010 she start school so I decided to go back to work part time . It took me over a year to find a 10 dollar hour part time job. I figured it took so long because I want certian hours in 2016 my child was old enough to stay by her self after school. I have been trying to find a full time job since then. I have sent out hundreds of resumes. I have my resume post on 7 different job boards. I signed up with 6 different placement companies. I have been networking. I have my resume redone professionally twice. I try to customize my cover letters. What am I doing wrong? I was thinking about going back to school but do not qualify for any type of financial aid and I can not afford school until I get full time job. Any advice please?

Hi All

This year has been pretty bad to start with. From losing my job on the same day my wife went into labor. Pretty Bad. But I wasn’t gonna give up. Made a few call to a few friends. And got a hook on a job. Maybe for some of you. This might help you get a job. Knowing someone who works there and use them as reference. It works for me. Maybe it’ll help some of you. Can’t wait to start work Monday. Pretty Good as of now :)

Has anyone ever gotten a professional job from a job fair? I never have, and 99 percent of the time I never hear back from the companies I talk to. IMO, they're a big waste of time. Nothing more than a day out of the office for the H.R. person. You're better off spending that time knocking on doors and networking.

This is a group that meets on the first Wednesday of most months. Despite the name, we meet in Troy, Michigan, which is about 20 miles north of Detroit. We discuss project management topics - often issues we've experienced in managing a project. And it counts toward continuing education for the PMP or CAPM certifications. If you're interested, feel free to contact me or see https://project-management.wikia.com/wiki/Project_Management_Mentors_of_Detroit .

I am so frustrated I've been looking for employment everywhere. I've also applied at temp agencies and haven't been able to find employment anywhere. I apply daily to jobs and no one is calling or giving any feed back. I guess now days you have to know someone. I need help!!

If you find yourself in this situation - take a deep breath and relax. You can handle this. And with some planning, you can keep track of the trends.

Practices in searching for a job continuously to change, with new technology, search engines, video interviews, and with the dreaded applicant tracking system, sometimes it may feel like it's impossible, especially if you're stressed and anxious about looking for new employment.

Here are a few ways to take the stress off your back and keep track of the new trends

NOTICE JOB DESCRIPTIONS - EDUCATE YOURSELF, pay close attention to the posted job listings. What are hiring managers emphasizing, and how are they wording their descriptions? Echo that language when you're communicating with them, and look for patterns that seems prevalent in your industry

PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO COMPANY/INDUSTRY NEWS - Take advantage of newsletters and blogs from job search sites. They offer a wealth of updated knowledge about the latest recruiting trends. Stay current with the financial trends as it may give you an early indication of which way the job market is going and what you can do to show your value to potential employers.

USE YOUR NETWORK -Ask others you know in your industry what trends they see in recruiting and retention in your line of work. You probably know at least one HR specialist from a previous employer who can give you suggestions. Stay in contact with them and don't be afraid to pick their brain. They'll likely be happy to share some info.

GO TO A CONFERENCE - Yes, they can be pricey but this will help you boost your network and knowledge of the latest job hunting trends in your industry. Pick one super valuable conference for what you do and GO. It will be worth it. Make the most out of the experience and attend to as many sessions as possible - network with movers, shakers, and participate in a panel or discussion. Talk to vendors as well. See what's new.

UTILIZE SOCIAL MEDIA - Is another good source to mime for job searching trends that you'll find via Linkedin, Facebook & Twitter. You'll receive updates and might even be surprised who is active online. It's worth a look to see if you can find someone to keep you in the loop with everything NEW in your field.

Remember when it comes to landing a new job, substance will always trump trendiness. The latter may help you get your foot in the door but to get the gig, you need to be honest and complete in your resume, prepare well for interviews, and represent yourself with poise while emphasizing your experience and expertise. That's a trend that'll never change.
