Career Resources
» Summary
  Assessments of your behavioral and temperamental preferences, personality strengths, skill sets, training, and previous experience can be beneficial in your job hunt.  By knowing yourself, you can identify which company's corporate core values match yours, thereby making a better career fit.

  • What have you learned about yourself from a 360 degree assessment? From your Myers-Briggs Type Indicator? Your DISC?
  • What are your degrees, certifications, work experiences, travel experiences, volunteer experiences, and dreams?
  • Do you like high activity jobs? Are you competitive? Do you need to work in an emotion-free environment? Are you good with people?

» ASTD-OC's Denise LaMonte on Job Shop
 
Los Angeles (myFOXla.com) - This Job Shop interview features Denise Lamonte, who was with a medical billing software company as a trainer, until she was laid off due to company downsizing. Denise has been job hunting for over a year following her layoff, and she's got some advice for job seekers. Don't let rejection get you down. Keep a positive attitude! It's a tough job market... and just as not every job is right for you, not every interviewee is right for the employer. Seek support... from family, friends, and peers... but don't be afraid to let them know to back off. It's your job hunt and you'll let them know how it's going. They'll certainly understand that.

» Job-Hunt.org
  At Job-Hunt, we feel that we have an unwritten agreement with our visitors to list only the best job sites we can find. On Job-Hunt, you will find no work-at-home or make-millions scams, at least not on purpose. We carefully screen the sites that appear on Job-Hunt, in accordance with the description above. However, site ownership and/or goals change over time, and a site may "degrade" (in our opinion) after being added to Job-Hunt. Hopefully, very infrequently! Sometimes, also, a site is sold and morphs into an inappropriate or untrustworthy site. So, to paraphrase a famous saying, "verify before you trust" when visiting and using a site listed on Job-Hunt. READ the Privacy Policy before you use any Web site!
