New Job Search . . . Hero Or Zero? 10 Power Principles Of Job Finding Success!

If you're starting out on a new job search, I have some shocking news for you!

Today there are two job marketplaces. One is the old-fashioned traditional marketplace of resumes, classified ads, website postings, agencies and recruiters, interviews and rejection letters.

The other is the hot fast-track marketplace of career partners, contact banks, automated interviews, professional introductions, interactive dialogs, on-the-spot employment creation and savvy negotiations.

You see, the 21st Century new job search market has changed a lot. And, if you stick with the old-fashioned ways of job hunting you could be looking for months. Besides, expectations of both employers and job-seekers have moved in decidedly new directions.

For example, employers expect job-seekers to know and understand corporate goals. They want prospects to demonstrate how they can contribute. Contrary to what you've been told, they're definitely not going to make a hiring decision about you based on your resume.

At the same time, opportunities are being created on the spot and, if you're part of the hot fast-track marketplace, you can be part of the creation process. Above-average deals are the products of above average negotiations where "dollars" is only one part of the total package.

Most importantly, if you want to want to be a new job search hero . . . if you want a superior position with more money . . . if you want to select your next position rather than settle for it . . . you must understand and embrace the new dynamics.
