Strangers to Friends

On a personal note.....


I stumbled across a blog this morning purely by accident that totally sucked me in with interest - which is a rarity for me as I generally lose interst quick and often! As I was reading some of the blog posts, I happen to notice the author shares my first name, which is incredibly rare. It was an "almost fell out of my chair" moment for me.


I think I have met a total of 2 other "Carlyn's" in my life. So this was truly a freak/special moment for me. I reached out to her on facebook, linked in and am proud to say I am big fan of hers! Check her site out if you have time:

The Job of Finding a Job

Great article from the employment digest site...enjoy!

People often feel that the desirable job to find is agonizing for its hunter. Those who have experienced continuous rejection of losing the previous job should find the new job but only after coming out from the threat of identity and rejections. It often depends upon a person’s skill and luck to find the best available and suitable job to tear down those high levels of egos. The process of job hunting should be carried very aggressively to get fruitful results. The process of job earning includes the steps taken to obtain interview with the help of resume and cover letter. The next step is to get a call for the interview and the third is the ability to negotiate for the job.


It is necessary that the job is applied with either ways proves in providing better life. It is rightly said that you can cover the bases of an aggressive search for job by using the web, making an application to various recruiters and employment agencies, search through referrals and scan the want ads. The employment recruiters prove helpful in the search for job since they have several corporate relationships at various places. The recruiters are divided into two categories, the retainer and the contingency. The retainer type of recruiters is paid their percentage in advance while the contingency type of recruiter earn only after the employee accepts the desired position. Both the types of recruiters are paid between fifteen to thirty three percent of what is paid to the newly recruited employee after acceptance of a job. The recruiters sometimes work only for highly specialized jobs.


For that desired job to find, people often visit the various recruiting internet sites which are good sources for job hunt. It is better to post the resume online only after considering the various risks attached with your personal information in general. Often it happens that the recruiter rejects a talented or experienced candidate because of a poor resume or CV. It is imperative that the resume is written in a highly professional attitude and would be better if written by a professional. The high profiled and up to the point resume often attracts the recruiters for getting that important interview call. It is good practice to post your resume to multiple recruiters or employers so that you can easily get bunch of interviews as per your desire.


Job to find is easy if you consider doing something everyday with your search. It is better to send out resumes and follow up for the update over the phone and make sure that your personal information is received in proper and safe hands. Those job seekers who are unemployed should immediately accept the first ever offer that comes on their way. It is always wiser to accept both the offered jobs and then select the one that suits and fits you best in getting utmost job satisfaction. You should always attend the interview like a jobholder and not like a job seeker because job seekers often gives the first impression that the person is dejected, needy and too willing to accept any damn offer given on the table.
