"My Mission Statement is: Helping people find HOPE - hope for a better future; hope that there can be passion and enjoyment in what we do to make a living.

As a result, I lead my company to deal with people with integrity, honesty and positive encouragement. We engage in business practices using Christian values and principles.

Joke of the Week A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes... he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts, "Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?" The man below says, "Yes, you're in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet above this field." "You must work in Tech Support," says the balloonist. "I do," replies the man. "How did you know?" "Well," says the balloonist, "Everything you have told me is technically correct, but it's no use to anyone." The man below says, "You must work in management." "I do," replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?" "Well", says the man, "you don't know where you are, or where you're going, but you expect me to be able to help. You're in the same position you were before we met, but now it's my fault."

It occurred to me the other day that many people waste a lot of time in their job search. Most people focus their job search on the advertised jobs and spend most of their time online and in newspapers looking at job postings.  Then what?  There is only so much you can do with advertised jobs and then what do you do?  Sit back and wait for more jobs to be advertised?  What a waste of time and what lack of control you have in your job search!  The employer is in charge this way, you wait for the employer to advertise and then you react.  Why not be in control of your job search? Job searching is a full time job.  You should be spending at least 6 hours a day looking for work.  This does not involve making dozens of photocopies of your resume and just dropping them off randomly.  Spending time on the computer can be a great waste of time as well, as it is easy to get distracted and deviate from the job search to investigating all of the interesting “stuff” that there is on the Internet. A pro-active job seeker who is in control of their job search should spend a maximum of 10% of their job search time on the advertised jobs and 90% of their time focused on the “Hidden Job Market”, that’s still where most of the jobs, the really good “how did you find THAT job” kind of jobs.  There is a lot of help available for job seekers to find jobs.  We can help you with the best resume and with job search coaching.  Check out our products, fill out the job search assessment or, send me an e-mail and I’ll call you for a free assessment and to let you know how I can help.  Gilles

Jacki's Job Search Secrets Avoiding Interview Disasters As Career and Job Search Coaches, one of the biggest requests we receive is for Interview Preparation and assistance.  The idea of facing your future boss, or even more terrifying - a panel of interviews - can be overwhelming!  Getting the help of a Career Management Specialist (your friendly and professional Career and Job Search Coaches!) can be the best investment you will make in your career. Avoiding interview disasters is not only beneficial to your current interview success, but it also builds upon your future successes.  One of the biggest obstacles our clients face is 'getting over' a previous interview blunder.  As I touched on in the last newsletter, not asking questions was the worst mistake candidates can make in an interview.  The other burning issue is handling tough questions, like explaining employment gaps, dismissal or work conflict situations. We can help!  Our professional coaches will provide you with guidance, proven methods and feedback, giving you the keys to Unlock Your Possibilities. For your laughs, and to help you avoid some potentially negative results, here are some actual dumb questions/comments made at interviews.  Laugh, and learn... Is it possible for me to get a small loan? What is it that your company does? Can I see the break room? What are your psychiatric benefits? How many warnings do you get before you are fired? Would anyone notice if I came in late and left early? What does this company consider a good absenteeism record? The job description mentions weekend work.  Are you serious? What is the zodiac sign of the company president? How do you define sexual harassment?	Coach's Corner Take the guess work out of making a sound career decision.  By following a sound and proven approach to Career Planning you will be able to make the best decision you could ever make.  In the last newsletter, I gave you step 4, which is Research options, including job shadowing.  Step 5: Make a decision, is one of the most difficult aspects of Career Planning.  If you read the previous newsletters, by now you should: Know yourself; Have some clear career options and researched them; Have identified the factors/things that are important to you in a career;  And now, you’re ready to make the best decision possible. In order to be in control of your career future you need to make a sound decision.  Making your decision should not be a daunting or terrifying task.  Can you make a PERFECT decision?  That is rare but what you can do is make the best decision with as much information as possible. How do YOU make a decision?  Flip a coin?  Go “gut feeling”?  Let others decide for you?  Weigh the options by doing a pro/con?  Or do you freeze and just not decide at all?  Making a solid career decision involves more than just a pro and con process.  I have learned, practiced, refined and taught a unique and solid decision-making process. Using a decision-making “matrix”, I have helped many people make the best decision possible in choosing a career, purchasing a house, whether to move or not and where to and to make a variety of other crucial life decisions.  I am thrilled with the process and would like to help you make the best decision possible.  This fall, I will be running a Decision-Making Webinar where at the end of a 2/3-session webinar you will either have made a decision or you will have the resources you need to make a decision later.  Keep an eye open for more information in future newsletters. Keep reading future Coach’s Corner issues to discover the next 3 steps to making the best career decision.  If you want me to coach you through this, you can contact me to discuss a coaching plan by either calling me at (306) 694-4673 or e-mailing me at: gilles@jobnetworking.ca.
