Interview with Liz Lynch, author of the book Smart Networking: Attract a Following In Person and Online
________________
Mike Carruthers:
If you're looking for a job or looking to advance in your career it's important to know that people do want to help you.
Liz Lynch:
But you have to realize that what you ask for has to be in proportion to the relationship you have with somebody. So something that your best friend might go out of their way and walk over nails to do for you - someone you don't know as well may not be able to do that.

Mike Carruthers:
Anyone who’s ever had to hire someone for a job in an office or a housekeeper or a babysitter you know that hiring is tough and here’s why…
George Anders:
We tend to latch onto the superficial and we get impressed by degrees and we get impressed by people who meet us well and often those are pretty much irrelevant for the job at hand.

Interview with Jeffrey Garton, author of the book Career Contentment: Don't Settle for Anything Less!
________________
Mike Carruthers:
Seeking job satisfaction in your career may be a big waste of time.
Jeffrey Garton:
Job satisfaction is never possible. As we age and our interests evolve we expect more - something new and different. It's in our DNA to complain and even if we're in the most satisfying job, we will find some reason to complain.

Interview with Danny Cahill, author of the book Harper's Rules: A Recruiter's Guide to Finding a Dream Job and the Right Relationship
________________
Mike Carruthers:
If you’re looking for work there are plenty of books that will tell you how to write a resume, but much of the advice is outdated.
Danny Cahill:
Because I would go to a typical Barnes and Noble and I would see all of these books on resumes and they would say things like, “You want to make the resume pleasing to the eye and you don’t want to end up on the bottom of a personnel pile”.

Interview with Donald Asher, author of the book Cracking The Hidden Job Market: How to Find Opportunity in Any Economy
_________________
Mike Carruthers:
In this job market you need every advantage and you first need to know where the jobs are.
Donald Asher:
I checked all of the research; I went back almost 30 years and somewhere between 55% and 80% of jobs go to someone who did not respond to a posted opening. And that’s the hidden job market it’s invisible to your typical job seeker.

When you’re looking for a new job…

Mike Carruthers:
Finding a new job can be tough so it’s time to be creative. Here’s an idea get some business cards printed.
