PLACEMENTS IN PUBLIC SECTOR
Software EngineerPublic sector player Punjab & Sind Bank (PSB) is drawing up plans to privately place equity shares with institutional investors ahead of an initial public offer next year.
The Delhi-headquartered bank intends to offer around 5 per cent each to institutional players such as the Life Insurance Corporation of India, General Insurance Corporation, Small Industries Development Bank of India (Sidbi) and UTI Asset Management Company, a bank executive familiar with the plans told Business Standard.
PSB, which has turned around over recent years by restructuring and recovering bad debt, was aiming to raise Rs 600 crore to Rs 700 crore by selling the stake to Sidbi.
This is a first private placement of its kind in the public sector banking space. At the start of the decade, LIC had acquired a 26 per cent stake in Corporation Bank. But by then the bank was already listed.
The executive said the bank's IPO, planned for 2010-11, could provide an exit route for investors who will participate in the private placement. As a move towards an IPO, the government had also restructured the bank's capital by converting Rs 560 crore of equity capital into perpetual debt instrument and preference shares.
PSB is one of the two unlisted banks of the country. The other player - Kolkata-based United Bank of India - is planning an initial public offer in the fourth quarter of the next financial year.
At the end of March 2009, Punjab & Sind Bank's capital adequacy ratio was estimated at 11.88 per cent, much above the regulatory requirement of 9 per cent. It intends to raise resources to fund its growth plans.
The bank sees 30 per cent year-on-year growth for at least two years and aims to reach a business figure (advances plus deposits) of Rs 100,000 crore by the end of 2010-11 against Rs 65,000 crore at present.

PLACEMENT WOES
IIMs SEEK NEW STRATEGIES
The falling job market is forcing the premier Indian Institutes of Management to review their placement strategies. The options include doing away with Day Zero and reducing placement fees.
Day Zero is the name given to the day placements begin at the IIMs. Day Zero and Day One are reserved for top companies like investment banks and consulting firms that confirm participation on campus.
The placement fees are higher on these first two days -- each company pays Rs 1 lakh (Rs 100,000) as participation charge and Rs 1 lakh (Rs 100,000) as recruitment charge. These charges drop to between Rs 80,000 and Rs 50,000 each for participation fee and recruitment charges on the next few days.
In good times, most students are placed by Day Zero and Day One, which means many of the smaller companies that come to campus later leave empty-handed.
To cope with what one IIM official described as "the madness around Day Zero," the B-schools are exploring ways of extending the placement process to over a week or fortnight so that all companies have a better chance.
"We are going to re-examine the entire placement process, including the Day Zero strategy and look into what needs to be done for a long-term relationship with companies. So far, we concentrated on a very narrow segment and pool of recruiters," said Samir Barua, director, IIM Ahmedabad,the oldest and most prestigious of the IIMs.
IIM-A finished its placements last week and recorded a 32 per cent dip in its salary packages. IIM Bangalore and IIM Calcutta, which have also completed placements, will make the results public on Tuesday.
IIM Bangalore, too, said it will re-examine its placement strategy in the next few days. "We know that the present placement system is an imperfect system. But among all imperfect systems, this is the perfect system," said Sourav Mukherji, placement chairperson, IIM-B.
The institute has decided to rename its placement cell 'career development and placement cell' and will recruit a new person dedicated to look at placement and career development-related activities and liaison with companies.
The IIMs will also look at a reasonable placement fee. This year, many domestic and foreign companies in banking and financial services, consulting and consumer goods had written to the IIMs, requesting them to waive or lower participation and recruitment fees. IIMs said they charge placement fees from companies to meet scholarship and other educational needs on the campus, since the fees for the flagship management programme is heavily subsidised.
The IIMs are also looking at devising a strategy which could be specially made to attract government-owned companies (PSUs or public sector undertakings) on campus after this season's experience.
This year, PSUs and banks made good the gap left by private sector companies. B-schools saw a 20 to 50 per cent jump in the registration of government companies visiting the campuses. They recruited some 40 students from IIM-A this year, with Union Bank among the top recruiters.
"We are looking at how we can take a big share of the PSU pie and make it attractive to the students. PSUs offer a great career development path and we need to talk to the students about this," said Professor Prafulla Agnihotri, placement chairperson at IIM-C.
IIM-B also said it would need multiple companies on the campus to provide a meaningful profile to an MBA student, since it is expanding in terms of number of students and programmes. Barua of IIM-A agreed there is a need to convince students to consider opportunities and challenges that PSUs offer.

Seven Habits of Highly Successful Job Seekers
In the job search craze, there are those who land a job right away and those who struggle through the process of finding one for a long time. ‘Luck’ is usually the response one hears from disenfranchised job seekers when they find out that their neighbor down the street was offered a position after only a two-week search. With many job seekers vying for only a few open positions, the truth is that ‘luck’ rarely has anything to do with it.
Realizing that their job search campaign doesn’t have to be a never-ending struggle, successful job seekers approach the process with patience and persistence. If you want to be among the highly successful job seekers follow the seven steps outlined below.
1. Search with purpose
Instead of trying to fit into a mould set by a hiring organization, target companies that match your goals and career values; doing this will allows you to focus your energy into searching for a position that is a natural fit.
After all, you don’t want to find yourself embarking on another search within a year’s time because you made a decision in haste.
2. Always be prepared
Be ready for your day’s activities by 9 am. Opportunities rarely land on your lap and you have to be prepared for the surprises that may come up during the day. You don’t want to be caught sleeping when someone calls to discuss an employment opportunity.
If you find yourself answering the phone like this: "hello? . . . well . . . um . . . well, like I was kinda sleeping. . . how long is this gonna take? . . . who are you again? . . . like I, um, contacted so many places, cuz, you know, like, I can't like find a job . . ." then it is time to reprioritize your needs.
Waiting until your unemployment insurance is about to end before you begin aggressively looking for a position can be a costly mistake. You don’t want to find yourself in a situation where you are running low on resources and desperation is about to set in. This is when mistakes are made and your job search may begin to suffer.
3. Develop a job search plan
Organize your job search, map out a strategy, set priorities, and establish goals. Begin your search with a clear focus and a plan. Participate in a number of activities including answering classified ads, posting your resume on the Internet, and going on informational interviews.
4. Bypass Human Resources
A human resources representative is also known as a “screener.” The screener’s job is to review resumes and match your experience with a checklist of requirements set forth by the hiring manager. If there are enough matches, the human resources representative forwards the resume to the decision maker.
Unfortunately, not much is left to the screener’s interpretation. This is why most opportunities are lost – because the screener doesn’t have the luxury of making a decision based on instinct; he or she is instructed to follow the lead of the hiring manager.
Since the decision makers (e.g., VP of Sales, Director of Marketing, or CEO) are the ones who determine who is ultimately hired, it is advisable that you apply directly to them.
5. Write follow-up letters
Well-written follow up letters can make a difference as to whether you get hired. A follow-up letter is more than a simple note thanking the interviewer for his or her time. It should be a sophisticated letter that either re-affirms your interest in the position, serves as an opportunity to mention an important point you neglected to bring up, and/or provides an opportunity to offer new insight on a topic that was discussed during the interview.
6. Avoid toxic job seekers
Job clubs are a great way to generate ideas and for networking purposes. However, some are also a breeding ground for negativity. These support groups can inadvertently affect your job search. Take inventory of the job seekers in attendance. Do they offer words of encouragement? Are they supportive of your efforts, or do they feed into your insecurities?
If after such meetings you feel emotionally drained and start to believe your chances of landing a job are bleak, then it’s time to search for a new support team.
7. Be good to yourself
There are two types of job seekers. One, that has a laid back approach, and the other that always feels "there aren’t enough hours in the day" and compulsively searches for a job without taking a breather.
Following in the footsteps of the latter is the fastest way to reaching burn out and when careless mistakes are often made. Though your job search should be your primary activity, don’t allow it to consume your every waking moment.
Every so often take a mini vacation; spend time with people who support you, listen to music and participate in activities you enjoy. Clearing your mind replenishes your energy and will allow you to continue searching for a job with a fresh outlook.

If the time isn’t convenient, ask the interviewer if he can call any other time and suggest some alternative interview timings. Don’t ask him to call in odd hours.
Incase if you are not sure your cell phone service is not perfect. Consider using landline rather than you cell phone to avoid a dropped call.
Keep your resume on the top of your desk or in clear view, or tape it to the wall near the phone, so it will help you to answer questions at your fingertips, have a short list of your accomplishments available to review.
Keep a glass of water handy, in case you need to wet your mouth.
Smile. Smiling will project a positive image to the listener and will change the tone of your voice, Give short answers.
Remember your goal is to set-up a face-to-face interview, Thank the interviewer
Thing to Avoid During Phone Interview.

Take your time - it's perfectly acceptable to take a moment or two to collect your thoughts.
Things to do after telephone interview.
Take notes about what you were asked and how you answered to the interview questions.

Expand your network by sending thank you letters
Sending a thank you or follow-up letter within 24 hours of an interview is not a new idea, but it is still a good idea. A key reason to send a thank you letter is to nurture new and existing relationships. Plan to send a thank you letter to all the people that assist in your job search.
This group includes the people that you meet during an interview; your existing contacts that provide written recommendations, and any friend (or friends of friends) that offer career related leads or information.
Thank you is a good place to start relationships that will greatly contribute to your ability to secure the right job in record time! Unless you have a good reason for sending a card or a handwritten letter to your target reader, plan to send an e-mail that is easy to produce. Use the subject line to note "thank you for the interview". This action demonstrates a respect for their busy schedule and an understanding that they may want to read this e-mail after they have read all their urgent e-mails.
Start every thank you letter by expressing your appreciation for the interest and time that people have invested in your career. Then, when you highlight that you are still interested in securing a new challenge, take this opportunity to feature your most relevant skills. Forexample, "My interest in working for (the name of the company or organization) is stronger than ever, and based on your description of the position, I know that my previous experience in (specify) provides the expertise required to make immediate contributions to your team."
End your letter using the "opening the door" technique.
Your closing paragraph for a thank you letter related to an interview should clearly state when you will call to schedule a meeting time. For example, "I would like to meet with you again to discuss this position. If I do not hear from you within the next five days, I will call you to schedule a convenient time to meet. In the meantime, I will be happy to provide any other information you may need to assist in your decision."
When you are writing to someone that has already provided information, your "opening the door" approach will reflect an appreciation for the assistance provided. In this situation, focus on advising your contact that you will provide an update on the progress of your job search. Your update should detail how the information they provided contributed to your success.

SELF-PROMOTE USING A POWERFUL PITCH
You meet important job search contacts every day. The people you meet when you complete routine tasks, such as shopping or taking your children to the local ball field, may know the person you want to meet or they may have friends or family working in the industry you are targeting. Plan to use the first 30 seconds of every initial face to face meeting to deliver a brief “infomercial”. Start with a smile and make eye contact before you deliver the introduction you have prepared.
Don’t worry about looking too pushy. People generally like to talk about their jobs and most are more than willing to provide assistance to folks looking for opportunities in their field. In addition, since employers tend to hire qualified people that are recommended by their employees, by using this opportunity to advance your career, you have also provided an occasion for the person you are meeting to gain recognition in their workplace.
Prepare a 15-30 second sound bite that highlights your uniqueness in a pleasant, but persuasive, manner. You will grab the attention of more listeners when you prepare your introduction based on the question “What’s In It for me?” from the perspective of potential employers. For example, what have you done to improve revenues, increase production, or reduce costs at your present or past jobs, or through your association with any volunteer or leisure-related organizations?
Be concise, but make the first minute count by offering information that you have determined will interest the person you are meeting. Think of the benefits you offer your clients, customers, co-workers, and supervisor. If you are not sure, ask them, you will discover that they rightfully value actions that you take for granted.
A script is an extremely helpful tool to use when you are making calls, meeting peers at an industry tradeshow, or preparing for an interview. Verbal profile statements should communicate three key pieces of information: your name, your area of expertise and related accomplishments. For example,
I am OCCUPATION NAME OR JOB TITLE who is interested in finding employment with companies that specialize in SPECIFY. Having worked (or studied) for COMPANY OR SCHOOL NAME the past NUMBER of years, I have expertise in TWO OR THREE KEY AREAS.
Cold calling can be effective, but taking time to contact the people in your existing network may be less intimidating and can bring about the same results. Practice your speech with friends and family, or record it on your answering machine, and listen to it.
Plan to practice your introduction the next time you meet a new contact. Then, plan to tweak sections that you found too chatty or sentences that did not flow. In time, you will find using your power introduction effortless and the associated rewards beneficial as you manage your career advancement.

Motivating yourself to find a job
I am lazy. I like web design because I ultimately want to work (and I use the term loosely) from home.
I don’t like mornings. I don’t like working set hours. I would rather work through the night than drag myself out of bed each morning and go to work.
During the times that I was unemployed, I really didn’t do as much as I should have to find work.
This article is a retrospective reflection on my experiences with some advice on how to motivate your self to get out there and a find a job.
Set your goals
You first need to decide on what you want to do.
Are you looking a job that is the same as the one you had before, or do you want to move up a level? Perhaps you may want to change industries altogether? Or do you just want to pay the bills?
You have to decide what you want to do right at the beginning of your job search – it’s the basis for your CV and all the job applications you make.
Looking for jobs
Set aside some time each day where you can concentrate on looking for jobs.
Initially, you should be spending a lot of time creating an effective CV. After this you can spend time on the following areas:
Registering with recruitment agencies
Searching recruitment websites
Scanning the local and national press
Finding trade journals that may have jobs advertised for your industry
Sending out speculative letters to potential employers
Applying for advertised jobs (and customising your CV and covering letters if necessary)
Chasing up old contacts to find out about vacancies
Check the local job centre / employment office
Following up any letters you have sent out
You should split your tasks up so you can use your time efficiently.
For example, you can enter local recruitment agency information (address, etc) into a database and mail merge your covering letter. This way you can get them all out and mailed in the same day. This is also useful for sending out speculative letters, although these should really be customised for best effect.
From a marketing point of view, it may be worthwhile calling the office and finding out the name of a contact there to send your CV to. Instead of your letter going into a “to be actioned” pile of mail, it will go directly to the recruitment consultant.
You can use MS Access to set up a simple database to do this and print out your personalised covering letters from MS Word.
If you haven’t used these before, then don’t worry. Although it seems difficult to begin with, you can pick it up in no time (and Microsoft products have tonnes of guides, templates, help and online tutorials to assist you).
Staying motivated
It is a difficult process looking for jobs, as it can take a while to find results. There is a great uncertainty that we all go through – we don’t get replies to our letter, we don’t know when our next pay cheque will arrive, we are not achieving anything with our days, etc.
Don’t worry about it. You are not alone – we all go through this.
There are some things you can do to help your job prospects and stay motivated at the same time.
Keep busy (it will take your mind off any responses you are waiting on)
Voluntary work (shows that you are doing something useful with your spare time and helps add to your CV and build your experience)
DIY (get those shelves fixed and paint the bathroom)
Sport (any kind of exercise can help you reduce the stress of job hunting)
Socialise (difficult if your mates are all at work, but you can use your free time to catch up with people)
Chat with people on our forum (the are others who are going through the same thing as you – you can exchange job hunting ideas with each other)
The main thing to remember is to not over do it!
Even when unemployed, you still have a job to do – find a job! And it is perhaps one of the most difficult and stressful jobs to do. You must balance your time between finding work and keeping the stress levels down.
Are you confident that you have done everything you can today to find a job (be honest)? Good! Then relax a bit – there’s no point in stressing about stuff you can’t control.

MARKETING YOURSELF WITH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL PROMOTIONS
Surveys have shown that up to 80% of those employed are unhappy.
Unhappiness results from being overworked/underpaid, a deteriorating relationship with colleagues or management, or possibly, disappointment in oneself. If you plan to sell your
time and abilities, why not take complete advantage of your efforts. Being in control of your career and promoting yourself can dissolve dissatisfaction by providing more career options and opening more doors to opportunity.
Volunteering on committees or with non-profit organizations (whether internally or externally) or offering your capabilities when your employer shows a need can educate you on new topics.
While learning on the job or within a volunteer position, you’ll likely uncover opportunities through continued personal growth or by networking with individuals you wouldn’t have met through your existing channels. Added responsibilities will show management that you are serious on saving the company money, or that you care about your community.
Executives and business managers want to see measurable results from employees, so I recommend making the effort to step up to the plate.
The benefits of self-marketing can far outweigh the time needed to do so; I’ll outline just how in this story about a salesman.
If a sales rep out-produces colleagues with over $2 million in yearly sales, then the company probably won’t mind paying upwards of six figures to keep this employee happy, right? The company is experiencing a very favorable return on investment, and the employee is trained, independent, and compensated well. It’s a win/win situation.
The question now is how did this sales rep turn into an asset.
After all, out-producing colleagues is not an easy feat. I’ll tell you exactly how this person went from a mediocre $50,000 salary to over six figures within less than 2 years.
First, he took the initiative to participate in evening classes on various sales topics, such as relationship building, new selling techniques, and identifying the aspects that provoke
decision makers to buy. Did the company pay for these classes?
No. He saw the need for improvement and jumped at the chance to enhance his education and produce more revenue for the company.
Second, he focused on external marketing techniques by sending personal press releases upon obtaining key accounts (more notably known as “People on the Move” within business sections of newspapers and other publications), participating on non-profit
committees, and so on.
One opportunity was particularly beneficial. He elected to serve on a high-profile committee and found himself talking to a secretary that reported to the Director of Business Development for a prominent technical firm. Ironically, his company had been
pursuing this corporation for over 5 years. He gradually built a relationship and eventually landed the account that produced nearly a million dollars in new revenue for his business.
Committee meetings were on his personal time and not compensated.
Marketing yourself to the community can enhance your existing job or job search tremendously because companies like to see employees that I’ll label “movers and shakers.” These individuals don’t wait for things to happen, they make them happen.
Third, he documented all career successes and solidified his position in the industry. Documentation can consist of letters from superiors or customers, awards, and/or performance bonuses.
When seeking a raise, he created a presentation that focused on the amount of new revenue he cultivated for the business over the last 12 months and compared it to the proposed new salary. The company would be crazy to refuse his request, in my opinion. If they did, he would subsequently work for a competitor making him an adversary rather than an ally.
Taking a proactive approach, rather than being reactive, is what catapulted this person to a six-figure salary. Prove yourself an asset to your employer. Make them unable to live without your expertise, your devotion, and your overall dedication to ensuring the company’s financial health and customer loyalty.

Job Hunting Tip - Time ManagementThere is an old adage that "Looking for a job is harder than working." How true! The rigors of job search are magnified by the turmoil we experience: lack of self-confidence, humiliation, financial pressure, and the undercurrent of emotions that color all we do: fear, anger, depression, anxiety, loss. One practical step we can take to lower the stress and conserve our energy for finding work, not feeding our bloated worries, is to manage our time effectively.Have you ever noticed that you get more chores done when you’re busy? If time is limited, we squeeze in those extra demands because we know they have to get done by a deadline and we fear putting them off. When time is unlimited, such as when you take a few days off work, there is no pressure to rush—"I’ve got four days, I’ll do it tomorrow." Suddenly, you are back at work and realize that you didn’t accomplish half of what you had planned.This lack of structure is magnified when you are unemployed. There is no pressure to get up, get dressed, get out of the house by a specific time. We know we have things to do. We need to update our resume, create some new cover letters, research some possible job openings. It is so hard to get started because we hate having to do it, we don’t feel creative or excited about the whole prospect, and we dread having to go through the horrors of interviewing. We procrastinate, telling ourselves that when we are ready, it will just "flow." For a few hours, a few days, we’ll just indulge ourselves and relax.When the end of the month arrives and we compare our diminishing bank balance to our multiplying bills, we mentally beat ourselves up for not having accomplished what we had so earnestly intended. Now we generate our own pressure, magnified by guilt and self-reproach. Stress levels and blood pressure rise. We feel resentful, angry, depressed. "I didn’t ask to get into this situation. It’s unfair. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it."Adopting a reasonable schedule can avoid reaching this point. Try these ideas:1. Take a day to do nothing but plan out what you are going to do, and when.2. Concentrate on not over-committing yourself. You may be used to working 8 or more hours per day and think that is what you will now spend on job search. Remember that adage: your hunt for work is a lot more difficult than simply walking into a familiar employer and pursuing your daily routine. Recognize that and limit your job hunting to fewer hours per day.3. If you rigorously limit your job hunt-related activities to 4 hours per day to start (you can always increase later), you may find yourself forced to stop before you are ready. This creates the impetus to get you going the following day -- you can hardly wait to get back to what you are working on.4. When your "work time" is over, stop. Consciously focus your attention on relaxing: take a walk, read a book, throw a ball, watch television, whatever pleases you. You will be able to relax because you know you completed exactly what you planned. The guilt, and the sense of "I should have, I should be" no longer exist and you are free, for a short time anyway, to do anything you want.5. Identify your priorities by looking at what day of the week is best for each kind of activity. If you are searching the classifieds, Sunday is the premium time to do it. If you are networking or cold calling, concentrate on the morning weekday hours. Agency visits, whether for temporary work or head hunting, can be relegated to the afternoons when employers are difficult to reach and already fatigued.6. Analyze your own daily energy patterns and put them to work for you. Make sure that during your high energy periods you are "out there," contacting people and presenting yourself. Use your low energy times for solitary, mundane tasks: researching companies and jobs, organizing your paperwork, planning your next day’s activities.The inevitable stress of unemployment and job search can never be totally eliminated, but managing your time and being gentle with yourself can turn a painful situation into simply an uncomfortable nuisance.

PLACEMENT AIM
The general aim of this placement was to make department printing more robust. Often incorrect file types received by a printer would cause the printer to malfunction or to print reams of pages containing garbage (e.g. when an image is sent direct). Some sort of filtering was required to dump incorrect job types. With this in mind and after consultation with members of the support team a list of four tasks were identified.
The tasks are detailed as follows in order of priority: -
Modifying or find a substitute for the ‘lp’ command in order to provide simplex or duplex printing options from the command line.
Modifying the ‘lp sched’ command in order to trap non-postscript jobs sent to the postscript printer. There is the possibility here of giving users the option to convert plain text jobs to postscript in order to facilitate awareness of printing issues (i.e. printer malfunction caused by incorrect file types being received). However, this could be bypassed by converting the jobs without notification.
Explore the possibility of installing better quota monitoring software for printing to include the use of the colour laser printer. Solaris does provide a tool for this but its suitability for this particular requirement is thus far unknown. If unsuitable, an alternative could be developed.
Assist the support team in preparations for the new term. This might include installing a new staff laser printer, preparing new NT/Unix workstations etc.
This proposed work schedule corresponded with a desire to move all printers to accessible areas. More importantly, it took steps to deal with the unreliability of the current system, thus providing a better service to all current users.

good morning
India post liberalization has witnessed a revival in the old sectors such as the Garment export industry and growth in niche sunrise sectors like Life style Retail.
In recent scenario, India has become a critical component of growth strategy for Multinational brands both as captive market and sourcing base.
In an emerging knowledge based economy, it’s the people and the people’s skills or employability that determines success. For companies the talent pool has become the most valuable asset, more valuable than capital, land or machinery.
It's this factor which makes it imperative that India has a vast body of trained manpower for International Sourcing companies, Indian Retailers and Manufacturers. Scarcity of Talent limits growth.
TAB established since 1996 has an exclusive database on key personnel in each area, such as Design, Merchandise, Supply Chain Management, Brand Management, Production, Quality Control to Logistics, HR,IT Support and more…

Job Hunting Tip - Time ManagementThere is an old adage that "Looking for a job is harder than working." How true! The rigors of job search are magnified by the turmoil we experience: lack of self-confidence, humiliation, financial pressure, and the undercurrent of emotions that color all we do: fear, anger, depression, anxiety, loss. One practical step we can take to lower the stress and conserve our energy for finding work, not feeding our bloated worries, is to manage our time effectively.Have you ever noticed that you get more chores done when you’re busy? If time is limited, we squeeze in those extra demands because we know they have to get done by a deadline and we fear putting them off. When time is unlimited, such as when you take a few days off work, there is no pressure to rush—"I’ve got four days, I’ll do it tomorrow." Suddenly, you are back at work and realize that you didn’t accomplish half of what you had planned.This lack of structure is magnified when you are unemployed. There is no pressure to get up, get dressed, get out of the house by a specific time. We know we have things to do. We need to update our resume, create some new cover letters, research some possible job openings. It is so hard to get started because we hate having to do it, we don’t feel creative or excited about the whole prospect, and we dread having to go through the horrors of interviewing. We procrastinate, telling ourselves that when we are ready, it will just "flow." For a few hours, a few days, we’ll just indulge ourselves and relax.When the end of the month arrives and we compare our diminishing bank balance to our multiplying bills, we mentally beat ourselves up for not having accomplished what we had so earnestly intended. Now we generate our own pressure, magnified by guilt and self-reproach. Stress levels and blood pressure rise. We feel resentful, angry, depressed. "I didn’t ask to get into this situation. It’s unfair. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it."Adopting a reasonable schedule can avoid reaching this point. Try these ideas:1. Take a day to do nothing but plan out what you are going to do, and when.2. Concentrate on not over-committing yourself. You may be used to working 8 or more hours per day and think that is what you will now spend on job search. Remember that adage: your hunt for work is a lot more difficult than simply walking into a familiar employer and pursuing your daily routine. Recognize that and limit your job hunting to fewer hours per day.3. If you rigorously limit your job hunt-related activities to 4 hours per day to start (you can always increase later), you may find yourself forced to stop before you are ready. This creates the impetus to get you going the following day -- you can hardly wait to get back to what you are working on.4. When your "work time" is over, stop. Consciously focus your attention on relaxing: take a walk, read a book, throw a ball, watch television, whatever pleases you. You will be able to relax because you know you completed exactly what you planned. The guilt, and the sense of "I should have, I should be" no longer exist and you are free, for a short time anyway, to do anything you want.5. Identify your priorities by looking at what day of the week is best for each kind of activity. If you are searching the classifieds, Sunday is the premium time to do it. If you are networking or cold calling, concentrate on the morning weekday hours. Agency visits, whether for temporary work or head hunting, can be relegated to the afternoons when employers are difficult to reach and already fatigued.6. Analyze your own daily energy patterns and put them to work for you. Make sure that during your high energy periods you are "out there," contacting people and presenting yourself. Use your low energy times for solitary, mundane tasks: researching companies and jobs, organizing your paperwork, planning your next day’s activities.The inevitable stress of unemployment and job search can never be totally eliminated, but managing your time and being gentle with yourself can turn a painful situation into simply an uncomfortable nuisance.

Job Fairs - create a lasting impression at job fairs
Job fairs. Speed dating for job seekers and employers! Or like a cattle market.
Most Colleges and Universities organise job fairs round about graduation time to allow students to meet new employers - it's a fairly common method of recruiting recent graduates.
Job seekers can use job fairs to find out a bit more information about employers, working life and general industry information. This is what most people use job fairs for.
However, the opportunity exists for job seekers to use the brief few minutes they have with employers to create a lasting impression (er, a "good" lasting impression!) and sell themselves, for job fairs are also an opportunity for the cream of the crop to rise to the top!
So who are those people hanging about the tables?
Employers and recruiters tend to send HR personnel along to job fairs to either weed out unsuitable candidates or pick out some young potentials from the crowd.
Unlike trade shows (which have basically the same format), job fairs aren't "staffed" by marketing people - they aren't trying to sell you anything. They are there to be sold by YOU! (the obvious exception is where you are such an attractive prospect, you get them chasing you, but let's face it - if that was the case, then you wouldn't be reading this!)
You are a salesman competing for business amongst hundreds of others. You could leave your CV with the recruiter. Would they remember you?
Dress for an interview!
Yes, job fairs are interviews and you should treat them as such.
Simply sauntering along in jeans and a t-shirt to see what's going on isn't going to get you anywhere, regardless of your skills and abilities. There are literally hundreds of other people there with the same aim as you - finding meaningful employment!
So, go along to job fairs and be prepared to make an impression!
Do your homework on the fly!
You see those glossy brochures the recruiters have strewn all over their little tables? And the posters on the walls? And the conversation the recruiter is having with the other jobseeker next to you?
This is all valuable information! And you NEED to use it to make your impression!
Find out about the company. Find out about the jobs they are offering or their graduate programme. Listen to the questions the recruiter asks other people and the information he or she gives out.
If you wander on up and ask some vague question about health plan or holidays, the recruiter is simply going to answer you and will soon be distracted by someone else. There it was. That was your chance. It's gone now.
You need to engage the recruiter - not simply hold a one sided conversation with them! At a job fair, a conversation is your best friend, because the longer you spend talking with the recruiter, the more likely they are to remember you.
At least....
The least you should leave a job fair is with some background about your industry (an idea of the types of jobs available), and some information about employers. At best you leave having made a positive impression on several employers and have a few job prospects to look forward to!

Getting some work experience
But you can’t get the work experience without a job, right?
Well, I’m afraid it’s time to pay your dues!
The very least you want to do is find a job in the industry of area that you want to work in – even if it’s a crap job.
Crap jobs can be a means to an end.
A few tips on how to get work experience from crap jobs and other sources
1. Find out about the industry you are working in. I temped for 3 years in various areas that are all largely irrelevant to me now, but helped broaden my knowledge base. It may seem that the ins and outs of the administration of an office are irrelevant to your ambition to be a rocket scientist, but valuable interpersonal skills can be learned, as well as some industry knowledge.
2. Ask for more work (no I’m not mad!). If you can suggest something to your manager that would be of use to the company / department and also be of interest to you, then you will gain valuable experience from it. You can go along to your next interview and say, “Well, yeah this was my job (and it was quite dull), but I also did this…”. This will show initiative and make you look like a damn good worker.
3. Use these dull jobs to hone your computer skills. Boring admin jobs can be good practice for working with databases, email, corporate intranets and other information systems. And like anything else, your keyboard skills and IT literacy will improve with experience.
4. Try voluntary work. It shows commitment and initiative (even if you aren’t doing anything to mentally taxing) and, again, you can increase your industry knowledge and may discover a new career path that you hadn’t thought of before. It also bulks out your CV (oh, and yeah, it helps other people). Voluntary work can be online editor positions, charity work, or I’m sure any number of other things.
Good Luck!
Regards

Finding a Job
It’s difficult. No two ways about it.
Here are some methods of finding a job:
Local Newspapers
Local papers are a good source of finding a job in your local area. They are the first place that smaller companies will advertise their jobs, as it is more affordable than advertising through a recruitment agency or employment website.
There is also the benefit that if the job you are going for, then there is likely to be less competition in your local area.
National Newspapers
National newspapers hold the same benefits for job hunting as local papers - the jobs advertised are local to you.
National newspapers hold the additional benefit of attracting larger employers and having larger, more varied recruitment sections.
Websites
Very few people get jobs from a website. The best that you can hope for (and this is just my opinion) is good, solid information.
See my other articles on the subject:
Finding jobs on the Internet
Web based recruitment agencies
Referrals
Larger organisations sometimes offer bonuses to employees for suggesting a candidate for a job – do you know anyone that may be able to refer you to their employer?
Send you CV out
Make a list of employers that you would like to work for and send your CV and covering letter to the HR departments of these companies. Remember to follow it up with a phone call.
Check out these articles on writing your CV:
Writing a job application covering letter
CV Advice
Writing your CV
Recruitment agencies
Just send them your CV and give them an idea of what you want to do (ie permanent or temporary?).
Some articles on recruitment agencies:
Recruitment Agencies
Web based recruitment agencies
A light hearted look at recruitment
Promotions
If you are working in a job that you don’t like, then try for a promotion to do what you want to do. If the position doesn’t exist, then suggest it to your boss – the worst that can happen is that he or she will say no! Just pitch him or her with the benefits of your idea and why you are the perfect person for the job.
Have a look at my articles on keeping your job and getting a promotion.
Trade journals
If your profession has a journal the chances are that it has a recruitment section.
Good luck in finding a job!

Promotions
If you are working in a job that you don’t like, then try for a promotion to do what you want to do. If the position doesn’t exist, then suggest it to your boss – the worst that can happen is that he or she will say no! Just pitch him or her with the benefits of your idea and why you are the perfect person for the job.

Trade journals
If your profession has a journal the chances are that it has a recruitment section.
Good luck in finding a job!

Finding a Job
It’s difficult. No two ways about it.
Here are some methods of finding a job:
Local Newspapers
Local papers are a good source of finding a job in your local area. They are the first place that smaller companies will advertise their jobs, as it is more affordable than advertising through a recruitment agency or employment website.
There is also the benefit that if the job you are going for, then there is likely to be less competition in your local area.
National Newspapers
National newspapers hold the same benefits for job hunting as local papers - the jobs advertised are local to you.
National newspapers hold the additional benefit of attracting larger employers and having larger, more varied recruitment sections.
Websites

Beating the System
We've all heard it: "You can't get a job if you don't have experience, but how do you get experience if no-one will give you a job?". Doesn't seem fair, does it? Some kids are lucky. They've got an uncle or brother or cousin who can pull a few strings for them. Once they're in, they can say they've got that magical stuff called "job experience" that every boss looks for. Some kids are so smart. You know the type. They skip grades in school and all the colleges are begging for them. They're too busy being smart to be cool. They really make an impression on potential bosses, and they get hired. Then there are the kids who find underhanded ways to make money. They don't want a real job. They usually look pretty cool driving around in big fancy cars flashing wads of money. They don't look so cool years later sitting in a jail cell. And finally, there's the rest of us. We walk into one personnel office after another, filling out job applications. By the time you're finished, you've memorized your Social Security number for life. They all say the same thing: "We'll let you know."
Only they don't. You never hear from them again. There is a way to beat the system. It's a pretty ingenious solution, too! But you've got to want it. What I wanted was to be a bartender, but my idea will work for almost any job. It started when I signed up for a bartending school. The contract gave me three days to change my mind and cancel. In those three days, I went around to different bars and asked the managers if they'd hire someone who'd gone to this school. They all said no, not if the person didn't have any real-life job experience.
So going to this school wasn't going to get me a bartending job. I cancelled the contract and went back to square one. (That's a good way to find out about any trade school, by the way. Ask the guys who do the hiring if they'd hire someone from there.) Job experience
They all wanted job experience. So I went back to all the managers I'd talked to about the bartending school, and asked them if they'd train me - for free. I offered a proposition: "I'll come in on my own time. You don't have to pay me. I will train for free. Train me, and if you like my work, then you can hire me with pay."
For them, it was a win-win situation. They didn't lose any money by giving me a chance. And if I did real well and showed an aptitude for the job, they could then hire me and we'd both make out. (HELPFUL HINT: Smaller companies are the most likely to go for a deal like this.) I found one man willing to take me up on my deal.
It was a small Italian restaurant with a tiny bar. He let his best bartender train me. She told me the drink ingredients, I wrote them down and took them home to memorize. She'd quiz me, and let me make drinks. After about three weeks, he put me on the payroll. I was a bartender! It didn't take long for me to find out why he was so anxious to train me for free. It was such an awful place to work that everybody kept quitting on him. They had a complete staff turnover about once a month. He was desperate for employees. But that didn't matter. I got what I wanted - job training and job experience. Even if it was a crummy place to work. Sometimes you have to start out that way. I don't regret it, and I'll tell you why. I worked there until I couldn't stand it anymore, which was longer than most of his employees stayed.
Remember, I needed that job experience, no matter how crummy it was to work there. After working there a few months, I went to several nicer bars, and told them I had job experience (which I did!) One of them hired me. It turned out to be one of the best jobs I ever had. Everybody there was super nice. His staff didn't play head games on each other the way some do. The boss really cared about his employees. He did have to fine-tune my bartending, as I needed more training than I'd gotten at the Italian restaurant. But when he saw how willing I was to learn, and how eager I was to do the best job I possibly could, he took me under his wing and taught me everything he could. I repaid him by becoming one of his best bartenders. This can work for just about any job you want to go for: office work, sales, factory, carpentry - you name it. If you really want it, you can do it. Sometimes things are worth doing for free now, for the payoffs you'll get later on. Be eager, be willing, swallow your pride and go for the JOB EXPERIENCE. One final word: I don't bartend anymore. I'm a bookkeeper, accountant, writer and carpenter (skills also learned "on the job"). But the job experience I've gained from all the different jobs still pay off. I know that no matter what happens, I will ALWAYS be able to find work, because I'm skilled in more than one field. That's not the important thing, however. What's important is how I came to be skilled in so many fields. You get that by being:
A good worker who's willing and eager to learn and has a lot of enthusiasm for the job.
Be willing to do more than you are being paid to do. Help others in higher positions with their job, and you'll learn how to do their job. This is a great way to boost your experience.
A reliable employee who they can count on to be there every day and ON TIME.
An employee who gets along with his co-workers.
An honest employee who doesn't steal or lie to his employer.
An employee who knows that the customers of the business are where your paycheck really comes from and making sure to treat them with respect and enthusiasm.
And always try to leave a company on good terms, so that you can use them as a reference.
Treat the business as if it were your own, as if you had stock in the company, and you'll get the job experience and job skills you want. Potential employers can see that enthusiasm in you.
