Everyone that lives in the US knows that the beetles known as "junebugs" swarm our US cities in the month of June! We are expecting the same type of swarm for engineering jobs late in the 2nd quarter as well for the staffing industry. According to the Staffing Industry Report, April 2011 the engineering segment has turned around relatively quickly , likely driven in part by strong trends in the manufacturing industry and supporting markets for tech and energy. Public staffing companies reported strong signs of improvement in project pipeline for engineering and design. The increase can be contributed to the strong staffing demand in energy, chemical and specialty chemical. Further trends improving is industrial which include power and specialty chemical.

"Believe in yourself, trust the process, change forever."
| |
This is a time that we must trust the process. This holds true with people that want to change their lives for whatever reason, in the fitness industry it is all about health. So when you decide to make a change and you have 20lbs or 200lbs to lose, what you must do is trust that what you do today will really make a difference in the big picture. All you can do is think about the day at hand. Did you make the proper food choices? Did you make time to exercise? Are you taking responsibility for your actions? Are you in control of your life? Your destiny? Just put your mind and your efforts into this day and trust the process, knowing that what you are doing WILL make a difference. You see everything you do, whether good or bad produces consequences. Consistency will either improve your quality of life or destroy your quality of life. You see it depends on what you are consistent with. Work out and making right food choices produces an energetic, slim and happy person but the reverse of that is having Ben and Jerry's each night and not getting off the couch to move. Not only will you gain weight, but you will also feel so miserable and depressed about yourself. So make that Decision today: "BELIEVE in yourself, trust the process and change forever!! But, remember it is up to you to pick the process!

RECRUITING ADVICE...

5 Important Ways to Enhance Your Job Search
Job seekers, you have to go the extra mile to show employers you are the right fit. A few years ago, employers could handle the risk of hiring the wrong fit, but today it is very different. The cost to let an employee go and hire another is very high. Employers want to pick the right fit the first time around. 1. What is your brand and value proposition? What will you bring to the employer? What makes you better than the rest? This needs to be communicated in your resume, cover letter, interview and even as you network. Have your elevator speech down. If you met the CEO of your dream company and had 30 seconds to talk about yourself, what would you say? 2. Utilize the free career-related workshops offered in your city. Services that can cost hundreds of dollars are available at no cost (or very small fees) from organizations looking to help out job seekers in transition. Do your research! You might be able to get assistance with resume development, interview preparation, networking effectively, and much more for free. 3. Research every organization before you submit your resume. You need to know about these companies well before an interview. It shows your professionalism and more importantly your interest in the company. Employers want employees who will love their company not just the job. This will help you stand out by showing you are genuinely interested in the organization and you will be ready to hit the ground running day one. Do not just check out the company's website. Read articles on the company and create Google news alerts for companies you wish to work for. Your goal is to impress the employer with your knowledge of their company. 4. Joining LinkedIn is a requirement. Job seekers are having amazing luck on LinkedIn. Recruiters, headhunters, hiring managers and others with hiring decision power are recruiting via this site. Make sure you are taking advantage of every aspect of LinkedIn. Many resumes and business cards will have a link to a LinkedIn profile. This is a requirement. Create your profile today. You can also use LinkedIn to find out more about a company and their employees. I know some job seekers use the site to become more familiar with the person they will be interviewing with. You can also use it as a powerful networking tool and meet people who have similar interests as your own. 5. Your documents need to be flawless. Resumes, cover letters, thank you letters, websites, social networking sites, portfolios and any other tool you are using to market yourself must be perfect. I know this seems like an apparent one, but typos and grammar issues are pet peeves of employers today. If you can, get the advice of someone in the industry you are looking to go into. Again, all marketing tools need to be 100% error free and be relevant to the industry you are applying for. |
