You are one in a million. Actually, you are closer to one in 20 million. That is how many people who find themselves unemployed. Each year. Not to mention the millions of others who attempt to advance their careers by looking for alternative jobs and careers. How are you going to compete with this? You were in the military, strategy of course is what gives you the inherent advantage. Finding a job in a systematic and well-planned manner will be hard, but it will also be rewarding. The current job market is not making anything easier for you right now. It may seem put-together but it is in fact relatively disorganized. If you are looking for consolidated, thorough and timely job information in one place, the job market will frustrate you. You may find many services ready to help you, but even these services produce fragmented and disappointing overall results. Why do many unemployed stay unemployed? Their job search methods are ineffective.

There is no system organized to give you a job. At best is a culmination of newspaper listings, trade publications, employment offices, temp agencies, and computerized job databases. These are solely designed to link potential candidates with available positions. This is why many people try to sell you job information, and job search services. They create the apparent notion of a “competitive advantage.” Ultimately, there are few systems that help you land a job closely related to your skills and interests.

Understand. Organize. Strategize.

Finding a job is more than just a task; it encompasses facts, skills and principles which can be learned, but must be adapted to suit individual situations. Learning how to find a job is as important to your career as knowing how to perform a job. Actually, the skills associated with job-finding are often more important to your success than job performance. The key elements of a successful job search relate your past, present and future.
