Use Feedback from Others to Refine Your Job Search Strategy  

Using any tool or data you can find when looking for a job is essential. It is even more critical when chasing a career. One of the main tools you should use is feedback from the people you interact with during your job search.  

Sometimes it is good to try the advice in small doses until you know how it works. If it works, keep it and use it. If not, at least you tried. Not everything works the same way for everyone. 

As you go through the process of finding a job, you may discover that some things change as technology and hiring standards grow and change. Some companies will hold tight to the traditional ways, and others will go with newer ways that may show better results and less cost in hiring. You must follow each company’s trend when pursuing jobs with them. 

The good thing is that much data is easily gathered through the website and talking to company employees. All you need to do is collect the data and put it to good use.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future. Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
