Mistakes Job Seekers Make with Susan Whitcomb, P.C.C.
October 28, 2009 by Jory · Leave a Comment
Do you know a friend, family member, or colleague who is un- or under-employed?
With the dismal jobs-to-jobseeker ratio of one-to-four, the rules of the road have changed. Responding to ads on Monster.com and asking “who’s hiring?” no longer brings results. Many of today’s job seekers are not grasping the “invisible” aspects of success, such as how awareness, attitudes, and beliefs can either catapult or cut short one’s career.
They’re also making mistakes with their resumes, networking, and interviewing. “Despite all the depressing news about double-digit unemployment rates, the fact remains that some 5 million people were hired last month. But those jobs are going to savvy job seekers who know how to tap the hidden job market and uncover opportunities.”
Learn how to avoid mistakes and uncover those opportunities with America’s Career and Life Coach, Susan Whitcomb, author of six career books, including Job Search Magic, Interview Magic, Resume Magic, and The Christian’s Career Journey.

Jail, Neglect, Abuse, Homelessness, Drugs, Poverty, Prison, Death. For myriad reasons, blameless children across America are unable to live in their own homes with their own parents, their own siblings, or even their own extended family.
In 1875 the Miller Home opened its doors as the Lynchburg Female Orphan Asylum to nurture young females who had lost their parents or whose parents could not support them. Today, nearly 1,000 children later, the Miller Home is going strong as a residence for non-delinquent girls age 4 to 18.
Executive Director Stacy Garrett and Program Director Stormy Wooldridge are committed to providing care and guidance to these special young ladies who desperately need love, attention, encouragement, and structure to reach their highest potential.
Join us as we discuss the challenges and rewards of working with children in residential care. Listen to Stacy and Stormy describe what motivates them each and every day to make a difference!
