A note to job seekers from nationally syndicated careers
columnist and author or Job Search Letters For Dummies,
Joyce Lain Kennedy:


Welcome aboard, job seekers! Thanks for checking out this first
guide to communications-supported job search and career
growth
in relentlessly changing technological times.


 The right messaging ? what you say, why you say it,
and when you say it ? is as important today to your
employment goals as it has been at any time since Leonardo da Vinci
wrote the first professional resume in 1482.


 Consider recent job?finding history:



  • In 1986 fax machines and postal mail were the most popular ways
    to send resumes and cover letters.

  • In the 1990s the Internet boom kicked in with new tools to
    connect jobs and people: e-mail, websites, cell phones, mailing
    lists, and online bulletin boards.

  • In the 21st century the double-time march of recruiting
    technology skyrocketed, building a techno-swamp populated with
    endless ideas of how to connect work and people through
    smartphones, wonder tablets, apps, and social media for virtual
    networking.


 You?re competing in a new world of work out there.
If your job search is treading water ? or even
drowning? there?s a better way. Make a splash! Engage
hiring authorities through a communications-centered campaign with
smart content.
