Personal Comments From a Corporate Career Survivor

by Joy
(Philadelphia)

We are told to study and work in something we enjoy. But, these tend to be over-crowded fields. It is better to get a hobby for something to enjoy. Work is first of all for survival. Preferably, we should want a good paycheck in a job or field that can last our work-life — about 45 years.

After getting a B.A. in Journalism, I was a writer and editor for 12 years. As a female, I experienced lots of job discrimination. And, job opportunities diminished as publications went out of business.

I decided to get a B.S. in Accounting. As a straight-A student, I expected lots of opportunities in prestigious CPA firms. Not! They wanted moldable people in their early 20s. I was too old while just in my early 30s.

Getting an MBA in Computer Science was my next move. I earned more as a programmer trainee then I did as full Editor of three magazines and an auto racing newsletter. I worked in all phases of the Project Development Life Cycle until I retired. By then, too many technical American jobs were being off-shored or replaced by H1-B Foreign Visa workers. These low-paid workers also served to lower the salaries for Americans.

My advice: Avoid working for corporations–these are dictatorial organizations that do not respect employees. Before enrolling in classes, research the possible long-term opportunities for the field. When employed, watch the writing on the wall and quickly make your move. Constantly monitor the job market. Take additional courses before a job loss in order to gain experience. Use class projects as skill examples during interviews. Volunteer to help someone in a different job at your firm to get diversified work experience. Have several versions of your resume to only target specific job opportunities. Keep in touch with previous co-workers — these are networking sources. Often job interviews are only given to someone recommended by the firm’s employees.

1. Free Resume Example & Template (as used by my clients over the years to successfully win interviews)
2. Top Resume Secrets (you almost certainly won’t have these ideas in your current resume …include them and watch your interview rate skyrocket). These specific inclusions are why my clients have secured scores of interviews.
3. Free Cover Letter This includes a free download of a cover letter (see item no.4) that I have used very successfully for my clients for many years.
4. Accessing the Invisible Job Market. Between 60 and 80% of all jobs are never advertised. The most popular method of finding jobs (applying online), is in fact the least successful way of getting a job. Here are some ways to access the invisible job market and help you get a job faster, without ever going online.
5. Sample Letter to Employer (template download) that got this job applicant 6 interviews. This is an example of a job applicant achieving great success without ever applying for a job online. It simply involves a well-crafted letter I wrote for him to send to employers, using an unconventional delivery method, and employer follow-up. None of the companies he sent this letter to were advertising at the time, but six interviews resulted!
6. Free Dream Career Finder A comprehensive exercise that will help you work out what job you are best suited to (Note: this will take some time to complete but is worthwhile and quite insightful as to what to are naturally motivated to do). Includes pdf book and assessment including downloadable skills assessments sheets.
