Brilliant Job Search

Job search tips from the folks who fill the jobs

First Time Visitors

Glasses_2 Looking for a new job? You're not alone, so are 7.4 million other people, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

And the BLS is talking about unemployed people, not the folks who want to leave their jobs because their boss is an asshole, or because they're underemployed,  or underpaid, or because their growth is blocked, or because they dread going to work everyday...If you found this site, you can probably identify or add your own reason.

And dismal as all that might sound, there's also hope. You will find another job; the youngest group of babyboomers (those born between 1957 and 1964) held 10.5 jobs, on average, between ages 18 and 40. If they all got that many new jobs, so can you.

Transitional periods can be frustrating, stressful, and scary. We've created this blog to keep you company and give you tools to work with as you move through that time.

Aside from working with the entries on this site, we encourage you to read our other blog, Act Brilliant too. It will help you to stay positive, to look for and find a world that works, and to give back by pointing out your own observations.
