Finding a Job in a Perilous Economy

As millions of jobs are lost each month and our economy falls deeper into recession and approaches becoming another Great Depression, finding a job has become a real challenge. With fewer jobs to go around, it is vital that a job seeker take advantage of every possible tool that can make finding that job a little easier.

Those who work with vocational counselors definitely have an advantage. They are provided Vocational Testing to determine their interests and abilities; they create a targeted resume and cover letter; they distribute their resume through a variety of ways and to a variety of places, and they utilize many different job search resources to take advantage of every possible opportunity.

This website is devoted to those job seekers who really want and need to find work and feel they can do so without the help of a vocational counselor. The tools and resources here are designed to increase your chances and make your life just a little bit easier. We wish you the very best of luck in your job search.

Step One (1): Vocational Interest and Aptitude Testing 

Online Testing at Affordable Prices

"For myself, I am an optimist -
It does not seem to be much use
being anything else."

- Winston Churchill

Vocational interest and aptitude testing is often regarded as wasted time by job seekers. Many don't see the need for it. Employers and recruiters, however, appreciate the additional information on a prospective employee and, when weighing two potential candidates, may well select the one who provides added information and demonstrates he/she has worked hard and taken the job search seriously.

We recommend the most comprehensive set of online tests available on the Internet. The site has been online since the year 2000. Thousands of people interested in finding out more about their careers have taken the tests.

The concept was developed by a team of occupational psychologists, who specialize in career counseling and have decades of experience in helping people to find the right career. The goal of the site is to give visitors an opportunity to discover what their aptitude abilities are and where their real career interests lie.

This is achieved by analyzing the occupational interests, the personality type and the aptitude ability of subscribers to the service. Once the tests are completed, suitable careers are recommended to the subscriber. Detailed information, including the job outlook and salary information, is also provided for each career choice which is recommended.

Once a user has signed up to a service, the "My Subscription" section contains links to the various tests. Subscribers to the service can signup for any one of the following services:

-> Aptitude Tests
-> Personality Test
-> Occupational Interest Inventory
-> Entrepreneurial Index
-> Expert Opinion

Aptitude Tests 

Measuring Your Talents and Abilities

There are several different tests which uniquely identify your aptitude ability: numerical reasoning, mechanical reasoning, abstract reasoning, spatial relations, verbal reasoning, language usage and spelling. On completion of each aptitude assessment, you will be given a detailed career guidance report and a description of careers, which are suitable to your aptitude abilities.

Mechanical Reasoning
This tests your ability to understand the underlying principles behind machines. High scores in this test indicate proficiency in engineering and mechanical work. The test is concerned with whether you can reason through mechanical problems in a logical way and is, therefore, a useful way of measuring a person's mechanical aptitude. If you get a high score in this test, in space relations and abstract reasoning, you could give serious consideration to scientific, mathematical or technological subjects and careers.

Abstract Reasoning
This aptitude has to do with your ability to reason with visual configurations. The questions in this assessment contain patterns and series, which have to be completed. They are a non-verbal measure of reasoning ability and as such are regarded by many occupational psychologists as a good measure of raw intelligence. The kinds of skills that this aptitude identifies are useful in architecture, design, draughting and computerisation such as CAD (Computer Aided Design)

Spelling
Spelling is an important skill in school, college work, and in many jobs. Among other things, this score is one of the best predictors of the ease and speed with which one can learn typing and shorthand. While poor spellings need not necessarily be an indication of a poor level of education, it is certainly regarded as a pre requisite for careers such as journalism, insurance and teaching.

Numerical Ability
This aptitude refers to your ability to add, subtract, multiply and divide. It is an aptitude that is useful in careers such as accounting, banking, insurance and engineering disciplines.

Spatial Relations
This test is probably the most difficult one in the series. It reflects an ability to deal with mathematical concepts at a high level. When taken in conjunction with the mechanical reasoning test, a high score in both indicates that you should probably pursue technological or scientific careers. Space relations involves the ability to visualise and think in three dimensions or picture mentally the shape, the size and positions of objects when shown only a picture or pattern.

Language Usage
Language usage is the ability to communicate in good, accurate grammatical English. It is a measure of how well one can distinguish between correct and incorrect grammar, punctuation and wording of sentences. It is an excellent predictor of performance in College Courses. While such careers as writing and teaching require especially developed language skills, nearly all kinds of work requiring College Education demand a considerable competence in this aptitude.

Verbal Reasoning
Verbal reasoning refers to your ability to reason logically in verbal terms. It refers to your ability to comprehend verbal concepts or ideas and to see the relationships between them. The careers in which this aptitude is particularly helpful are Law, Psychology, Personnel and different types of management.

Personality Tests 

Discover Your Personality Type

Personality Assessment

This personality test is based on the typologies that were identified by Carl Jung. He identified different personality typologies and subsequent researchers developed 16 personality types from his original work. These types are based on the following polarities:

# Extrovert (E) versus Introvert (I)
# Sensory (S) versus Intuitive (N)
# Thinking (T) versus Feeling (F)
# Perception (P) versus Judgment (J)

This assessment identifies your personality type. Find out your true nature - Are you an introvert or an extrovert, sensate or intuitive, are you the thinking or feeling type and what is your perception versus your judgment?

On completion of this assessment, you will be provided with a report, which answers these questions. Careers matching your personality profile will also be described in detail.

Step Two (2): Creating Your Cover Letter 

Cover Letter Overview

Your cover letter serves two major purposes. It should convince potential employers that "you" are a perfect fit for the position. It should explain how the potential position specifically meets your current career objective.

Sell your services accordingly. Make sure you emphasize the ways you can make a contribution to the selected employer's mission or bottom line. You may also emphasize how you might contribute to a problem the employer is facing.

An effective cover letter should also reveal:

Your ability to write and communicate;
Your relevant experience and qualifications;
Your degree of professionalism; and
Your attention to detail and organization

Cover Letter Content

Adhering to accepted standards for business letters is the only absolute in writing cover letters. An effective cover letter should include:

Heading and Greeting - State the date and your name/contact information at the top of the page. Address the letter to a specific name and (or) title whenever possible.

Opening and Introduction - Explain who you are and state your reason for writing.

Body - Here you will sell yourself and charm them. Reveal why you are a perfect and unique match for the position. Explain why you have chosen this employer.

Assertive Closing - Courteously take initiative toward further action and next contact. You may wish to suggest a time and method (phone call, meeting) for follow up.

Don't bore your target audience with the generic form letter they have read a hundred times before. Don't simply restate your resume either. Check out our list of tips for creating a quality cover letter.

Cover Letter Tips

Keeping these tips in mind, it is up to you to compose a fresh and informative cover letter that deserves an interested employer's response. Actively engage your reader with a letter that clearly expresses your intentions and motivations.

Remember to:

* Tailor your letter to the target audience and industry.

* Be positive about your current employment situation and potential professional future.

* Indicate how you found out about the position.

* Emphasize what you can offer employers, rather than what they can offer you.

* Express focused and organized career goals.

* Communicate in short sentences. Don't ramble.

* Refrain from using empty or unproven claims on your abilities.

* Keep the letter to one page unless otherwise instructed.

* Proofread your letter thoroughly. Ask a friend's opinion.

* Thank the reader for his or her time.

* Use the same high-quality paper stock for both your cover letter and resume.

* Be sure to sign your cover letter.

Follow Up

Smart job seekers enhance their chances with effective follow up to their resumes. In today's market, job seekers cannot afford to wait for interviews to find them. Enticing cover letters and quality resumes are crucial, but a proper follow up may be the key to job seeking victory.

Prior to engaging your potential employer, do your company homework. Knowledge about the company as well as understanding the company's place in the industry will help you shine during the follow up process.

A follow up phone call or letter should reiterate your interest in the position and showcase your knowledge. Unless specified otherwise in the job listing, a follow up phone call may be your best bet.

Here are some phone tips:

Introduce yourself and ask the employer for a few free minutes.

Check on your resume as a point of further conversation.

Be engaging and specific in your discussion.

Ask the employer for any questions they may have. Be prepared to answer.

Be polite and professional.

A letter is another way to keep an employer's attention during the hiring process. An effective letter should convey that you:

Remain interested in the company's opportunities;

Have specific knowledge that would benefit the company; and

Are looking forward to further dialogue.

Applying for a Job

Resumes and application forms.

Resumes and application forms are two ways to provide employers with written evidence of " your qualifications and skills. Generally, the same information appears on both the resume and the application form, but the way in which it is presented " differs. Some employers prefer a resume and others require an application form. The accompanying box presents the basic information you should include in your " resume.

There are many ways of organizing a resume. Depending on the job, you should choose the format that best highlights your skills, training, and experience. It may be helpful to look in a variety of books and publications at your local library or bookstore for different examples.

When you fill out an application form, make sure you fill it out completely and follow all instructions. Do not omit any requested information and make sure that the information you provide is correct.

RESUME TIPS FROM OUR USER COMMUNITY

Presentation Is Everything

Make sure to use high quality paper for your resume. Do not skimp. Make sure there are no typographical errors and everything is spelled correctly. Check and recheck your resume before sending it out. You only get one chance to be noticed, don't let it be for a spelling error.

When entering a phone number on your resume, make sure you will be available to answer that phone, or at least have an answering machine connected to take a message. After sending out your resumes, make sure you check your answering machine often during the day.

When in doubt, leave it out.

Do not enter occupations where you were fired or quit after a few days of employment. If you are questioned about any time gaps, it is best to be honest. However, your goal with your resume is to get the chance TO BE questioned. Get your foot in the door, THEN explain the circumstances, if need be.

Job Search Central 

Shopping for a Job

Before we get started here are some job search tips and information you may find helpful.

Job Search Methods

Personal contacts. Your family, friends, and acquaintances may offer one of the most effective ways to find a job. They may help you directly or put you in touch with someone else who can. Such networking can lead to information about specific job openings, many of which may not be publicly posted.

School career planning and placement offices. High school and college placement offices help their students and alumni find jobs. They set up appointments and allow recruiters to use their facilities for interviews. Placement offices usually have a list of part-time, temporary, and summer jobs offered on campus. They also may have lists of jobs for regional, nonprofit, and government organizations. Students can receive career counseling and testing and job search advice. At career resource libraries, they may attend workshops on such topics as job search strategy, resume writing, letter writing, and effective interviewing; critique drafts of resumes and watch videotapes of mock interviews; explore files of resumes and references; and attend job fairs conducted by the placement office.

Employers. Through your library and Internet research, develop a list of potential employers in your desired career field. Employer Web sites often contain lists of job openings. Websites and business directories can provide you with information on how to apply for a position or whom to contact. Even if no open positions are posted, do not hesitate to contact the employer and the relevant department. Set up an interview with someone working in the same area in which you wish to work. Ask them how they got started, what they enjoy or dislike about the work, what type of qualifications are necessary for the job, and what type of personality succeeds in that position. Even if they don't have a position available, they may be able to put you in contact with other people who might hire you, and they can keep you in mind if a position opens up. Make sure to send them your resume and a cover letter. If you are able to obtain an interview, be sure to send a thank-you note. Directly contacting employers is one of the most successful means of job hunting.

Classified Ads. The "Help Wanted" ads in newspapers list numerous jobs. You should realize, however, that many other job openings are not listed, and that the classified ads sometimes do not give all of the important information. They may offer little or no description of the job, working conditions, or pay. Some ads do not identify the employer. They may simply give a post office box to which you can mail your resume, making followup inquiries very difficult. Some ads offer out-of-town jobs; others advertise employment agencies rather than actual employment opportunities.

When using classified ads, keep the following in mind:

* Do not rely solely on the classifieds to find a job; follow other leads as well.

* Answer ads promptly, because openings may be filled quickly, even before the ad stops appearing in the paper.

* Read the ads every day, particularly the Sunday edition, which usually includes the most listings.

* Beware of "no experience necessary" ads. These ads often signal low wages, poor working conditions, or commission work.

* Keep a record of all ads to which you have responded, including the specific skills, educational background, and personal qualifications required for the position.

* Internet networks and resources. The Internet provides a variety of information, including job listings and job search resources and techniques. However, no single Web site or resource will contain all of the information available on employment or career opportunities, so be prepared to search for what you need. Remember that job listings may be posted by field or discipline, so begin your search using keywords. Some Web sites provide national or local classified listings and allow jobseekers to post their resumes online. Other sites offer advice on how to search for a job, prepare for an interview, or write your resume. When searching employment databases on the Internet, it usually is possible to send your resume to an employer by e-mail or to post it online.

Professional associations. Many professions have associations that offer employment information, including career planning," educational programs, job listings, and job placement. To use these services, associations usually require that you be a member; information can be obtained directly from an association through the Internet, by telephone, or by mail.

Labor unions. Labor unions provide various employment services to members, including apprenticeship programs that teach a specific trade or skill. Contact the appropriate labor union or State apprenticeship council for more information.

Private employment agencies and career consultants. These agencies can be helpful, but they are in business to make money. Most operate on a commission basis, with the fee dependent upon a percentage of the salary paid to a successful applicant. You or the hiring company will pay the fee. Find out the exact cost and who is responsible for paying associated fees before using the service.

Although employment agencies can help you save time and contact employers who otherwise might be difficult to locate, the costs may outweigh the benefits if you are responsible for the fee. Contacting employers directly often will generate the same type of leads that a private employment agency will provide. Consider any guarantees that the agency offers when determining if the service is worth the cost.

Community agencies. Many nonprofit organizations, including religious institutions and vocational rehabilitation agencies, offer counseling, career development, and job placement services, generally targeted to a particular group, such as women, youths, minorities, ex-offenders, or older workers.

JOB SEARCH TIPS FROM OUR USER COMMUNITY

Making the Most of Your Search

When performing your job search, keep in mind that any contacts you make, may need to be re-contacted. Save the names and phone numbers in a safe place, or enter them in your log/journal online. These contacts may be worth their weight in gold, but if you lose their phone number or address, you may be sorry.

Job Search: Using the Internet

The Internet can be very helpful in finding openings and information about a company. Do your homework!

Job Search Techniques: Network

Network! Tell everyone you know that you are looking for a job. Follow up on any suggestions from friends or family. If you can get someone to give you an introduction or put in a good word for you, do so. It can open the door.
