Welcome to JobStuff
Your Career Transition Blog
Welcome to Job-Stuff. I hope the information and musing here are helpful in your journey through the "Transition-Zone". Please also check out the "Zero To Network Blog", since Business Networking is a major weapon in your job seeking arsenal.
First and foremost, I have walked in your shoes. I had a senior level position at a Fortune 500 company and felt my career was invincible. In prior years, I merely wrote my resume, called a headhunter and posted my job on Monster. And the hiring executives came a callin!
When I was asked to step into the "transition" zone, I dreamt of double dipping on my severance package. Reality: Over a year later, with my severance a distant memory, I finally found a great job.
During my transition, I started a contract services company and also became an Executive Recruiter (aka HeadHunter). I learned a lot about myself during this chapter. And - oh the mistakes I made - which I will share with you here. I believe it is important to laugh at yourself, your mistakes and share them with others, so that you don't make the same ones (I am sure you will make your own, which is how we learn).
I hope you find Job-Stuff Blog helpful in your career transition.

Job Search Solutions - disclaimer
Before I begin the next entry, I received an email asking if Tony Beshara paid me for this endorsement. He did not. In fact, I never spoke or communicated with Mr. Beshara. I did receive a free copy of his book, which I intend to give away. Ok - you caught me. I will earn 10% on each book purchased through Amazon. At about $12-$16 for this very well written book - it will take 650,000-833,000 purchases to make me a millionaire.. ha!
Seriously, I have reviewed other books and dismissed them. And except for a few dollars earned on Amazon - I have not been paid for an endorsement. Hopefully this helps. Stephen
