]]> Comment on How to handle the transition from college to work – Some advice by Joel Targill http://www.careercopilot.com/how-to-handle-the-transition-from-college-to-work-some-advice/comment-page-1#comment-2060 Joel Targill Fri, 05 Aug 2011 15:03:32 +0000 http://careercopilot.com/?p=766#comment-2060 Follow up is everything. So many applicants do a great job upfront presenting their personal brand, but completely strike out when it comes to sending a thank you. Very few customers are sold after the first pitch--the bulk of sales happen with follow up. Selling yourself is no different. Great post! Follow up is everything.

]]> Comment on It’s a Two Way Street: 3 Questions to Ask Your Potential Employer During an Interview by Corey Witt http://www.careercopilot.com/its-a-two-way-street-3-questions-to-ask-your-potential-employer-during-an-interview/comment-page-1#comment-2052 Corey Witt Thu, 04 Aug 2011 01:54:31 +0000 http://careercopilot.com/?p=753#comment-2052 Lenore/Dan - I remember being in that uncomfortable position of being "put on the spot" to ask a question, but a prepared job seeker should not be "on the spot" when they're asked to ask a question. I like the three questions you have suggested because anyone can ask them - from intern to middle management all the way up to CEO. You also made a great point when you said that this is time you are interviewing the employer about the job. As a job seeker, you have to find out all you can about the positions and exceptions of the new employee because based on the answer, you can have a chance to further explain how you make a good fit. Thanks for passing along the advice! - Corey Career Blogger at <a href="http://www.urbaninterns.com" rel="nofollow">Urban Intern</a> Lenore/Dan – I remember being in that uncomfortable position of being “put on the spot” to ask a question, but a prepared job seeker should not be “on the spot” when they’re asked to ask a question.

]]> Comment on Has LinkedIn Jumped the Shark? by dankeller http://www.careercopilot.com/has-linkedin-jumped-the-shark/comment-page-1#comment-2039 dankeller Tue, 02 Aug 2011 01:43:30 +0000 http://careercopilot.com/?p=757#comment-2039 Michael, Thanks for your comment and I love the "Fonzi" reference..not many people know the origin of "jump the shark." I agree with what you are saying, Linkedin is an awesome tool for recruiters and job seekers. My point is that when it is sooooo easy for unqualified candidates to apply to a job, this will slow the process down for everyone not speed it up. As it is now with Monster and CareerBuilder, recruitersare sifting through hundfreds of unqualified resumes to get to the 4 or 5 that are actually qualified and good enough to present to a hiring manager. When you add in another couple hundred from Linkedin....not so good. Michael, Thanks for your comment and I love the “Fonzi” reference..not many people know the origin of “jump the shark.”
