Finding full-time work is particularly difficult for those in their 50s and older


The process of filling out employment applications and answering ads on job boards - especially for workers with issues (older, gaps in employment, lack of education, etc) in the eyes of employers - is a worthless approach to job hunting. If you find an opportunity through this traditional and tribal approach to job hunting it will be random luck.


Leveraging social networking sites like LinkedIn and classic networking/job referrals is a more effective job hunting strategy. The problem for many seeking a job in this economy is that they lack the skills and knowledge to use this more effective approach to job hunting.

"The job search process CANNOT be speeded up with a resume. The resume is just a tool to put in a hiring manager's hand like a security blanket due to tribal and traditional practices of hiring that stem backwards to when Henry Ford was producting Model Ts.


There are lots of elements to a job search that can speed it up - your resume is not one of those. - Barry"

HR Magazine - Employee engagement invariably leads to higher performance – true or false? | Effective Executive Job Search | Scoop.it

When I train managers from different kinds of organisations in leadership and management, I’m astonished to find out how many companies don’t actively manage performance.


This is both the greatest mistake in hiring and in retention. A lack of effective performance management leads to numerous hiring mistakes and the inability to retain top talent.  - Barry Deutsch
