The Unwritten Rules of the Highly Effective Job Search - by Orville Pierson
 

THE JOB SEARCH WORK TEAM

Teamwork - many hands stacked up


Based on a method scientifically proven to speed the search, Job Search Work Teams are ongoing groups of 6 to12 people who meet weekly to work on their job searches together. There is a Special Section at the end of The Unwritten Rules of the Highly Effective Job Search that explains how to create and lead them. These teams have been highly successful for over a decade by Lee Hecht Harrison, the leading global career services company. Now you can create or use one too.

The Job Search Work Team is not a therapy group, training session, or support group of the kind often used with job seekers. Instead it is:

  • a group of people committed to helping each other in job search by keeping each other focused on key tasks and accountable for getting them done.

  • an advisory panel that knows you and your search and can provide good answers to the questions that come up in job hunting.

  • an opportunity for job hunters to share information and information sources, so everyone gets smarter about the job market.

  • a core network for its members.

  • a project management team.

  • a way to make the sometimes difficult job of job hunting easier and more pleasant.
