Job Hunt

With the grace of technology, we don't have to use our survival instincts to shoot buck, and duck. Many of us enjoy the sport, but the modern sport is the job hunt, because that's what feeds your family. I want to help you feed your family yourself, especially as the target becomes scarce.

So to kick off your one stop shop for all your conservative needs, The Conservative Hub, I've networked some of the various advice and have compiled the best list on what's a crock and what's not.

Gimmicks are a crock. Be genuine, because it's usually good enough. Wearing camouflage with job interviewers may get you in the door, but they are your friends not your enemies. How far do you think you're going to get in a company if the whole time you feel like your advancing behind enemy lines?

However, here's some items that are not a crock. Using the following resources will help improve your chances of not coming home empty handed.

Resumes. This is first and foremost how you represent yourself. Managers are looking to see what you represent, and they are looking to see if you are what you represent, which brings us to the interview. Go in with a positive can-do attitude. If you go out of the interview without the job, it's for the best because it wouldn't have worked out in the long-term. Absolutely there is a place in the job market for you.

Internet. Post your resume on the internet to increase your chances. Monster.com makes it easy to make a presentable resume, and if you don't you're behind the curve.

*sigh*, these days we must address the Health and Human Services crowd. You know the tired phrase, if all else fails turn to government? These dependencies are a short-term fix and not a long-term solution. We live in the USA, one of the only nations where the government doesn't tell the people what to do. We tell it. We the people decide the role of government.

The Hubster has a slightly different take. If all else fails, help gov't fail! The sooner government falls flat on its face, the less onerous it'll be on the job markets and American families. Government needs to go on a diet, and it's good to help it shed a few pounds. But, recognize, these dependencies are a form of democrat and government usury and a long-term liability for growing families. Our votes are not for sale.
