Facebook offers a lot of opportunities for the job seeker. Just because it is not a professional social network like LinkedIn, do not overlook it as one tool in your job search toolbox.

Under the right circumstances, working remotely can be a great option for both the employee and the employer. Some employers (and bosses) are more supportive of this than others.

I answer three questions that are important for job seekers:

1) What to do when you are "overqualified" for a job

2) Mistakes made by recent college graduates in their job search

3) Why do companies not provide feedback?

In this addition of Ask The Career Coach:

1) When asked “What qualities/skills do you bring to the table that is different than the other applicants of this position?” What is the employer trying to determine? Or what is the underlying question here?

2) How does a thank you letter assist a candidate in landing employment post interview?

3) Why didn't the recruiter get back to me after the interview? The interview was great, and she said she will get back to me the afternoon or the day after. It's already been the second day, should I send her an email or would tomorrow be better?

In 2017, The Gallup Organization found that 85% of employees worldwide were not engaged in their jobs. In the US, that number was slightly better with 70% of employees not feeling engaged at work. Why is this happening? It happens, I believe, because very few of us are strategic about our careers. But you can be if you get honest with yourself.

I answer three questions about the job search process.

In order to get back on the path of job search success, you need to analyze your job search activities and figure out what is not working and why. While it is easy to blame others for your lack of success, the majority of the time the issue is you and how you are conducting your job search. As Albert Einstein famously said, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.”

How can you use your job search time more efficiently? Everyone only has 24 hours in their day. Each of these hours is precious. Once that time is gone, there is not getting it back. Therefore, using your time wisely, especially when it comes to a job search, is so important.

When you start looking, potential employers will want to have a date from you as to when you would be available to start. If you cannot give them one, it makes the decision to bring you on much harder for the employer, as you have added a level of risk that most employers do not want to take on. Without a specific date when you will be settled and available for work, the employer cannot do their labor planning appropriately.
