What I have been seeing from job seekers
◊Unwillingness to learn how to write a resume and learn to use the computer
◊Scared to learn how to use a computer
◊Expect someone to write a resume or find a job for them, (only some agencies can do that).
◊Come unprepared to write a resume or fill out job applications
◊Don’t want to fill out online applications
◊Unwilling to take the time to learn
◊Make all kinds of excuse why they can’t use or learn how to use a computer
Believe me I have heard it all!
Just like many didn’t pay attention to the instructions for Milwaukee Career Expo. No ticket, no resume and, not dressed. I was told to follow the instruction or I would not be allowed to go in.
Here I am I just sat down and started with a simple instruction on how to copy and paste, from there I learned: basic Microsoft word, computer based research, blog management, some Google Documents, resume writing and more.
I made looking for a job a job and do it with great effort like I would on a job. I look for free ways to learn new skills and I have done it.
I blog to showcase my work skills and experience, keep busy, and learn something new. It helps my creative writing and I create better cover letters and resumes as a result.
Some look at me as if I am crazy and doing nothing about looking for a job. I am , I am filling out job applications, at least 2 per day. I tailor my resume for each job. I research, companies, network, and polish my profile on LinkedIn.
I don't want just any job I want a job where I can stay for awhile; that's why I signed up for "TIME". I already have 20+ years of OJT, once you hire me you will find I am a good worker and worthy of training.
I do help out when I am not busy with a resume or application. I also direct people to go their DWD job center for free service and advice.
