I am recently a casualty of an "Organizational Restructuring", so am now in the job seeking mode.

I would appreciate, from the many terbites on here any ideas/tips/methods on looking for a new job, where to start etc...

I have a few contacts out there and know the value of networking, but any other ideas to kickstart the process would be helpful!
 
I was thinking about being a dancer at a gay bar ... although I am not gay. But hey ... at least I would get some income for this highly expensive hobby ...

Just hope that I won't need to give BJs or take Greek ..... :-(

I wonder how many male terbites here have actually thought above the above as an alternate way to generate xtra $.
Hey, SMdave, I for one have thought about doing that for fun , 15 years ago. But again, I ain't no big dude, so the idea kind of faded away... :D
 
LOL Berlin !!!

I ain't no big dude either. In fact I am quite small and skinny. And on TV and shows, those gay guys seem to like skinny people .... LOL !!!! HAHAHAHAHA .....

But to be honest with yah ..... women's shoe store and a pedicure centre is still on top of my list ...

Hey Submissive Dave, alright very funny, did you enjoy your laughs?

I was hoping to get some serious responses in this thread, but since you have nothing to add of that nature, could you take your "gay dancing fantasy" somewhere else, or why don't you make your own thread about it?
 
Depends on your area of expertise, but more and more jobs being filled on contract as businesses worry about the cost of permanent folks.

A few more clues and we may be able to help.
 
Contract positions aren't necessarily all that bad, as they have the potential to turn into permanent posts from time to time. If nothing else, they will fill the void for the time being.
 
Contract work would be fine with me, as long as it is at least 1 year.

I will contact a bunch of Recruitment/Agency firms. Other than that and responding to posted jobs, are there any other ideas to tap into the hidden job market?
 
I always prefer to hire from networking rather than ads or anything. The majority of my staff are hired from referrals, not from ads. So my suggestion would be that you do as much networking as possible, make up a little business card that says your name and number and what you can do, and hand it out everywhere. A TERB party might be a good place to network with successful entrepreneurs.
 
Thanks for the tips and advice. I think the only shortfall I have is that I'm still relatively new to my field, with 2 years of experience, so I can't really go out and claim to have a big name for myself.

Basically I'm looking to get into a position that involves many aspects of my field (HR) to gain as much experience as I can.
