Where the Jobs Are

Monday, March 8, 2010 by Neil Berman

Don't believe government jobs reports. Unless you don't want a job...

Delivra is hiring. Businesses are hiring. Jobs are out there. But job seekers must be flexible and proactive to land a position.

I see many resumes weekly. They come in through our website form. How many of these job seekers follow up with a phone call or just walk in the door of our office to follow up?

The answer is almost none.

Want a job? Be proactive. Think like a salesperson. Your minimum attempt number should be eight times per company you contact. Then stay in touch quarterly.

Need experience to bulk up your resume? Be flexible. Delivra just filled four positions with flexible hours. This means less than thirty hours per week. No benefits. But all of these hires were recent college grads or yet to graduate and had no prior experience in their field.

This is a win-win for both parties. A low risk look-see for the employer and a foot in the door to gain experience and prove worth for the hire.

A reporter once asked the CEO of a major corporation how many people worked there. His answer was, "about 20 percent." The competition is weak job seekers. The future is yours for the taking.
