If so, you’ll be happy to know that the unemployment rate has dropped in some states in October. For example in Massachusetts, the drop marked the first monthly decline in the unemployment rate since June of 2007. To make that number more “REAL” several of the people working with me have accepted new positions in the last two weeks.
These are not just any positions, but the “right job” and at top salaries. One client contacted me to say his commitment to the “right job” over many months he had invested in a solid process of marketing his experience and identifying the job he wanted had netted a very good ROI. “This is a great new position doing what I love to do with an 18.5% increase in salary, what a great way to start the holiday season”.
This past weekend while shopping with a family member I was reminded, “if we are going shopping, we need to do it right”, and I must tell you I have some serious shoppers in my family. If a job is on your Holiday Shopping List, you may want to review the list below to ensure you get what you want.
All good shoppers (and job seekers) know finding the best items, bargains, or jobs are made easier when you:
1. Never shop without a list – make a list and know what you want and need.
2. Know where to find what you want and need, and do your homework to find out who has what you want and need.
3. Review other items, bargains and jobs to be sure you are selecting the best match for your wants/needs.
4. Shop before you buy, but don’t shop without items 1-3 on the list.
Happy Holiday shopping!
