Job boards are a key tool in searching in the visible job market for advertised positions. However, you need to look beyond Monster and CareerBuilder to niche job boards, for your particular profession. A great resource is the Association for Internet Research (AIRS) 2014 Global Job Board Directory: one of the largest, most up-to-date, and most usable directory of it's kind, for job seekers and recruiters alike. You'll find a comprehensive list of job boards, sorted by industry and specialty. Best of all, this resource is completely fr*ee.  Download this directory here...and enjoy!   

How To Bring More Luck into Your Job Search  

Do you ever wonder why some job seekers appear to be luckier than others? You know, people who always seem to have a constant flow of leads, interviews, and connections that come their way?

Wake Up to a Job You Love © Home Study System  (Beta) Coming Soon!  / Archive of Article Series

I've been planning to release a beta version of this self-study system of my career coaching program. It's based on the core content and tools I use with my private clients, to help them build a solid, laser-focused plan to land a job they love which is fun, fulfilling and financially rewarding. This system is perfect for you, whether you're unemployed and struggling to land, or unhappy with your current job or employer and you don't know which way to turn.  

I've decided to postpone this release until Spring 2014. It will be priced at an introductory "Charter Member" rate of $147.00. 

Depending on how many people enroll, I may host monthly Q & A group calls and create a private Facebook group for participants to post questions and interact with each other. I am planning to offer some special bonuses for the first 10 people who sign up.

There will be a special sales page created for this program and you'll be notified when it's ready. Until then, here's a description of it on my website: 

If you have any questions, please email me joellyn@career-success-coach.com; and I will be personally reaching out to those of you who have already expressed interest.

• Do you work hard on your job search but seem to spin your wheels and get nowhere fast?
• Are you burned out with your current job, but don't know what other type of work would make you happy?    
• Do you have trouble understanding how your transferable skills can be used in other professions?
• Do you apply for jobs online, only to get "thanks but no thanks" responses?
• Does it seem like you struggle asking your network for help with your job search, without sounding like you're begging? 
• Do you get interviews--- but no job offers?   

Is it time to take a risk -- a giant step forward -- to end the pain once and for all? You may surprised: the problem might not be what you think and simpler to overcome than you thought possible.

Regardless of the issues you face or what you may be frustrated or confused about, I can provide the clarity, creative thinking, objectivity, and perspective you need to get your career and job search moving in the right direction.  

Let's get started with a Career Action Planning (C.A.P.) Session to help you figure out what's working, what needs attention, and what the next steps are to land the job of your dreams!  

Career Action Planning (C.A.P.) Sessions, combined with additional coaching, have helped countless clients gain traction and confidence... and land a job they love much faster than they ever could on their own. 

Read what some satisfied clients have said:   

"Joellyn, I just wanted to let you know that I accepted a position of Associate Director of Alumni and Friends Engagement at a private university. It is a new position, which gives me lots of room to maneuver. It's definitely a new experience! I am now a limited partner at my law firm allowing me to keep one foot in the legal world and I can continue to act as an occasional consultant. There are certainly some adjustments that come with a big switch like mine, both financial and mental, but I'm glad I encouraged myself to try something totally new. Thank you, too, for being a great sounding board. I needed to hear myself reaffirm that I could bring value outside of my work at the law firm." -- Jen D., Attorney, Non Profit Executive 

"I'm writing just to bring you up to date. After we went through our assessment for my career I was consulting for a few years.  During that period  I received my Certified Black Belt Lean Six Sigma credentials.  I have just completed my one year anniversary as a Senior Director of Operations for a specialty baking company".

-- Raymond B., Operations Executive - Food Processing Industry   

"I hired Joellyn to assist me through my job transition. She impressed me as being personable and passionate about assisting her clients to where they want to go, and her advice was valuable to me. She lends an empathetic ear where needed and provided me the confidence I needed that I was already on the right track and to continue forward. I recommend Joellyn for potential clients who have career coaching needs." -- Charlene D., HR Professional

"Joellyn came recommended to me by a friend, I was a bit hesitant at first but with my results I am extremely satisfied! She was able to help identify very key skills I had overlooked. We had also taken the time to do a high level review of my resume, which was just what I needed after being out of the interviewing market for so long. (previous employment was for 20 years). With the recommendations from Joellyn, I was able to recraft my resume and my outlook on interviews that has landed me the perfect career path that I am excited to move forward with. Thank you Joellyn!" --- Candy Scarale, Executive Administrative Assistant
