I am honored to be a part of such a wise and giving group. I can feel the encouragement you give your clients through the encouragement you left here in the comment section. (I promise next time I'll do a better job of responding individually.) Job Search - Thank you for taking time to stop by and comment. Hopefully, you've taken advantage of the rest of the wisdom shared by the collective. I am humbled by the collegial and collaborative spirit of this industry. This is proof of that wonderfulness. Marcel - You're an inspiration to everyone. May we all remain as wise and willing to learn as you. I especially loved this from your comment "Yes, I am a 95 year old that decided that I would never let go of my knowledge as long as I had it." Oh if we all possessed that drive. You are definitely proof "Age ain't nothin' but a number." Hugs to you my new friend. PS - No editing needed. You write well too. :) Career Collective members -

Great job in explaining why 10-year-old job search tactics no longer WORK. Your encouraging words to job seekers that they CAN take the job search 'bulls by the horn' and gain traction are heartfelt. Indeed, Google is their friend! So much information for corporate research, including people's names, what real people at real companies are 'saying' (in real time), is at the click of the mouse. Your Twitter story about garnering an optometry client through a simple, but very honest tweet speaks volumes! The inspiring story about 95-year-old Marcel Murell energized me! Kudos to you and your story-telling savvy! Jacqui - Your Twitter pal, resume writing colleague and friend! Wow, Dawn, what a vivid post!

(Although, was it EVER really that easy?) Being generic - will do anything - job seeker can be the kiss of death. Thanks for the great reminders! I'm glad you're partnering with us for the Career Collective and look forward to future posts!

Whenever a job seeker says to me, "I'll do anything," I recommend a book called "50 Jobs Worse Than Yours." The thought of grave digging or working as a cellulite make-up artist can inspire specificity and creativity! Thanks in particular for sharing your memorable friend Marcel with us. Chandlee Dawn,
