CONDUCTING A SUCCESSFUL JOB SEARCH
Written by: Atul UchilArticle Overview: The average turnover in corporate America is now about two and a half years. Apparently, the only way to stay ahead of the career game anymore is to make frequent progressive jumps. Staying in one position for ten years no longer demonstrates staying power or loyalty to the organization. In today’s economy, it comes across to most employers as a lack of ambition. These progressive jumps are typically labeled strategic career moves.

CONDUCTING A SUCCESSFUL JOB SEARCH
Whether we are willing to accept it or not, we all live in an ever-changing fast-paced knowledge-based economy. Gone are the days when people worked with one organization for twenty or thirty years. On average, a professional will change jobs five to seven times in their career.
The average turnover in corporate America is now about two and a half years. Apparently, the only way to stay ahead of the career game anymore is to make frequent progressive jumps. Staying in one position for ten years no longer demonstrates staying power or loyalty to the organization. In today’s economy, it comes across to most employers as a lack of ambition. These progressive jumps are typically labeled strategic career moves.
While strategic career moves are becoming the norm, do not make the mistake of interpreting this trend as a license to change jobs every time someone offers you five thousand dollars more in base salary. At the same time understand that you cannot stay in one position for the rest of your career and hope to earn a competitive salary.
Changing companies can be a traumatic experience and should not be done lightly. There is an almost infinite number of ways to look for a new or better job. The trick is to focus almost all your attention on those avenues that deliver the best results. Doing this, will greatly increase the odds of finding the exact job you want.
The circumstances that usually prompt a person to perform a job search are:
Voluntary:
- Looking for a career move, more salary, better position, relocation, etc.
- Looking because you do not like the company where you are currently working
Involuntary
- Looking because you were laid off
- Looking because you have quit your job
A word of advice. Do not quit your current job without another job in hand. No matter how bad the working conditions or how intolerable the work environment, stick it out. The old cliché about it being easy to find a job when you already have a job is one hundred percent true.
To get a job, the people looking to hire someone like you have to know you exist, be aware of your skills and know how to contact you. Assuming you have a resume that effectively represents your skills and abilities, the next logical step is to make sure the people who are hiring see it.

Anything ever happen with this?
label signs jackson thriller executive/seeks investor
- ismael records has just signed one of the marketing and promotions executives of MICHAEL JACKSONS THRILLER, BAD and OFF THE WALL ALBUMS as its new president of marketing and promotions. we want to embark on an AMERICAN IDOL TYPE CROSS COUNTRY TALENT SEARCH. winners will have their own CD marketed, promoted , nationally distributed, with radio airplay. our venues will be PAID VENUES with TICKET SALES, along with any investor getting a percentage of all venue and ticket sales , any investor will also receive a percentage of all of our winners CD sales which will again, be distributed nationally, any investor will also receive a percentage of the ISMAEL RECORDS LABEL. PLEASE! NO OFFERS OF LOANS OR BANK LOANS OF ANY KIND!. we will also NOT! PAY ANY UPFRONT FEES. ONLY THE ABOVE PERCENTAGES WILL BE PLACED ON THE TABLE. ISMAEL RECORDS has been up for only 3 years, besides being a recording label it is also an entertainment label. working on the entertainment side the label has been doing a series of talent shows. tyrone ismael ceo/president of ismael records has been networking and steady building alliances for the label. until recently mr ismael has himself refused to take on any artist to the recording part of ismael records, simpley because the label did not really have the sources to push an artist the way a label should. we have seen so many labels with tons of artist but nothing to do with them, the artist are just sitting there. with the contracting of our new marketing and promotions president , ismael records now has sources of manufacturing ,radio airplay, national distribution plus over 25,000 storefronts in which we can now place our artist CDS into besides distributing to the top of the line internet retailers. besides MICHAEL JACKSONS, THRILLER, BAD and OFF THE WALL ALBUMS, our new marketing and promotions president has also marketed and promoted the CDS/ALBUMS of such other great recording stars as LUTHER VANDROSS, TYRESE, ALICIA KEYS, SANTANA, EARTH WIND AND FIRE, BIG MIKE, THE GHETTO BOYS, BOY GEORGE, SADE, THE OJAYS and this is only to name the few, he also has written refrences from such greats as MR QUINCY JONES, SADE, and mr POLLY ANTHONEY of SONY MUSIC, he himself is also former acting vice president of marketing and promotions for EPIC RECORDS. i can not bring myself to ask this executive to bring all that he is already bringing to the table as well as ask him to finance this venture, this is why i am now seeking investors. we are seeking no less than $25,000 in order to get this project out of the starting gate. the TV SHOW AMERICAN IDOL has been one of the top shows for years now, each year you can see the thousands and thousands of hopeful new artist trying to become the next star, there is no other entity out there right now besides AMERICAN IDOL that has the resume of our new executive thats doing what we are now trying to do. this project has LEGS and if pushed out of the starting gate with the proper advertising and promotions it will generate its own capital. any investor will also be receiving the above percentages well after they have received their original investment return, as long as we can keep this project running our investors will receive the above percentages.
