Job Search Tip: Forget The "Good Old Days!"
Remember the good old days when a job search meant answering
some ads or posting a resume on some job sites or talking to an
agency or two. And going on a couple interviews?
There was a time when resumes got answered. Phone calls and
emails were returned. An agency or recruiter could be counted on
to supply you with plenty of interviews.
Remember when you used to get a call back after an interview. Or
there was someone to talk to check on your status. And employers
would keep in touch to show they were still interested in you.
DREAM ON!
