Blog Post: Are you a reactive or proactive job-seeker?

Which type of person are you? Are you the type of person who sits back and waits for the economy to get better so you can prosper, or are you the type of person who does something about it by being proactive and positioning yourself for success? According to the speaker, most people are of the reactive bent, the “Ostrich approach”. Instead of doing everything within your ability to overcome an impending lay-off or continued unemployment, you hope that it doesn’t happen to you or hope that the next company you apply for will find favor with you.

In this sort of economy where the large majority of people take on the Ostrich approach, that is unacceptable for you as a job-seeker. You need to step out from the pack, make yourself out to be a marketable and sought-after employee, and do everything within your power to position yourself as a visionary--- one who is proactive about fighting their way out of this recession. For a growing number of people, this means going back to school to polish off your resume and touch up on old skills or learn new skills that will make a prospective employer seriously consider you.
