Multinationals: Why Don't They "Just Do It?"

Having a sense of urgency is the best way to manage your job search.

Timing is everything and this certainly applies when searching for a job.

Sitting back and waiting for a job to land in your lap is not going to happen. You cant afford to wait for things to happen because chances are that once you start applying for jobs, youll be waiting for the company to respond.

When you are waiting for a response from a company, you are at their mercy because they are working on their schedule at that point.

Ive seen cases where a hiring company Im working with comes to me looking to hire someone and tells me that they are desperate to find this person and theyd like to hire them as soon as possible. I find them several great candidates that I send them...

then they tell me that the hiring manager has gone on holiday for two weeks and they cant do anything until that person returns.

Unless the company is truly desperate to hire someone perhaps in the case where the person who previously held the job quit suddenly or was fired you are probably going to work off of their schedule so you might be waiting around as it is so having a sense of urgency early in your job search is the best way to go.

Treat your job search with a sense of urgency.

Also, don't confuse urgency with desperation.

No one wants to hire a desperate person so ensure that during the interview process, your enthusiasm for the job doesnt come across as desperation to leave your current employer.

Carl Mueller

My name is Carl Mueller and I'd like to thank you for learning a bit more about me!

I feel that I have numerous relevant experiences during my career that come in useful when helping people with their careers:

I know what it?s like to work internationally, having worked overseas (in New Zealand, from 1994-1998).

I've survived several corporate downsizings while many of my colleagues were being laid off.

I have also experienced being laid off twice myself during corporate downsizings.

I know what it?s like to be self-employed.

I've helped many people find better jobs. I started to work as a professional recruiter in 2000 first as an Information Technology (IT) recruiter and then in general recruitment across many industries including IT, manufacturing and marketing. Since this time, I have helped many people find their dream career and it?s a great feeling.

I experienced one of the slowest hiring periods in recent memory especially during the general hiring slowdown that followed the Y2K frenzy in 1999, the bursting of the dot com bubble in early 2000, and then the employment market bottoming out following September 11, 2001.

These were certainly not great times to be a job searcher in most industries nor was it a particularly good time to be a recruiter.

Following this, I began running the day to day operations of an Internet-based company in early 2003 that focused on developing online software and subscription-based websites for consumers. It was then that I fully realized the power, usefulness and potential of the Internet which really spurred me to set up my own website which you can view in my Personal URL section below this bio.

I?m also a Platinum Ezine Articles Expert as recognized by EzineArticles.com, one of the most visited websites on the Internet. This special designation is earned by having consistently high-quality articles published and viewed on their website. All of my submissions are related to helping you find your dream career and many of my articles get reproduced on other websites by their webmasters.

Good luck with your career and I hope I have been of assistance to you!
