How do you find your dream job in a down economy? What are some job-search tips for people in search of meaningful employment in a recession? A recent college graduate called me, and got me thinking about the 10 pieces of advice I’d offer someone trying to do a guerilla job search. When I graduated in 91 it was a crappy economy, so you learn some fortitude (unlike the folks that graduated during the bubble in 1999.
Forget the traditional letters to recruiters, newspaper ads, and job boards. Too much competition there… it’s more efficient to network, interview well, use creative approaches, persist without being annoying. Here are 9 of my 10 tips. The one about interviewing well got me the most passionate, and it became a separate video (will post this week). Seriously- we’ve all been on one or both ends of a bad interview, and I feel so sorry for people that don’t know the basics on that.
Hope this helps! It’s free, anyway. 
Any tips for the rest of us?

why do people keep looking for a job? Look at the German culture. They have vocations. They know how to build, sew, plant, grow, repair, they have skills and put them to use. Problem solved. A Job leads to TAXES. who needs that? Get out of the Job box. REally. AMericans need to find their culture again. A bible in one hand and a gun in the other.

Advice. Networking …
Advice. Networking outside the internet. What this really means, is that you go out and learn about potential employers. Maybe there’s a job fair, or you’re around a construction site and you see some guys needing an extra hand. Help them out. Develop a network of people that will funnel you closer to your goal of being hired with a company. Always keep it professional, focus on what people say, always be positive, and make they believe you would be an asset to their company.
My 2 cents.
