Turn Your Unemployment Nightmares Into Sweet Dreams Of Career Success

Having unemployment nightmares?

Afraid that your search will take too long? That it will burn through your savings or wreck your finances?

When you're having unemployment nightmares, it's because you're using average resume/interview/job search strategies that make you look average to employers, and makes your job search take a long time.

But if you knew what to change in your resume/interview/job search to make it faster and more successful, the bad dreams would end.

Why not turn these unemployment nightmares into sweet dreams?

Here are a few ways to change your unemployment nightmares:

• Make A Job Search Plan: Few people like to plan, but it's critical for your job search ... otherwise, you're a ship without a rudder. It's true in your job search that when you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
• Your Resume Needs Significant Improvement: If your resume was written by a professional resume writer, career coach or outplacement firm, these resources have been trained to write average resumes that make you look only qualified (and qualified = average). Your resume's format and content are likely preventing your resume to get past the automated pre-screening of Applicant Tracking Systems, so your resume isn't getting to hiring managers.
• Your Interviews Aren't All That Awesome And Need To Improve: Most job seekers have been taught to focus on responsibilities/experience/qualifications/skills ... and they undersell?you, because your next employer sees many other candidates with similar responsibilities/experience/qualifications/skills. You need to portray yourself as better than just qualified to land your next job, especially if you're unemployed.
• Remove The Employer's Risk In Hiring You: When a hiring manager sees an unemployed candidate, he/she sees risk - Were you let go because you were an average performer (or worse)? Even if you were let go in a wide-scale layoff, hiring managers can see that you were laid off, but others kept their jobs. If you're not removing the hiring manager's risk in hiring you, you give them a reason to choose a less risky candidate.

The good news is that anyone can make these resume/search changes that will start changing your job search nightmare into career sweet dreams. Even job seekers who were below average can plan, improve their resumes/interviews, and reduce employer risk in hiring you.

The only reason you haven't made these changes is because no one has taught you. So why not let me show you?
