Working Your Way To the Top


I hope everyone had an eventful Tuesday!  Yesterday, was our push to get people applying for and interviewing at McDonald's for their National Hiring Day.  I read an interesting article this morning about the National Hiring Day on Yahoo News.

The article brought up some interesting points about being willing to "work your way to the top," from a job that may not be your ideal, dream job.  I think that this is an important topic given the competition that surrounds the job market today.  When you have been out of work for a while, just getting your foot in the door could be a great place to jump start a career.  On May 5th, at Job Club, I will be discussing strategies for getting ready to make that next step.

In the meantime, I hope that if you interviewed during McDonald's National Hiring Day you will make sure to follow-up in a week or two to see where your application is in the hiring process.  Following up with the places you have applied to is one of the most important steps you can take to make sure that you are job searching with a competitive edge.
