What Would Martha Do

What Would Martha Do? I’m a fantastic admirer of Martha Stewart. She’s an American icon of organized housekeeping, entertaining and adorning. She’s even tackled wholesome dwelling habits in her new publications. So I questioned: what would happen if she centered on job search strategies? What would the lady who once wrote a complete weblog post on cleaning your purse (and stitching a labeled drawstring bag to store it correctly in your closet) and who penned the immortal phrases: “Group desk linens by dimension â€" all tablecloths collectively, all napkins together. You can further group them by season (all vacation items together) or formality (informal linens on top, formal linens beneath).” This was from her “simple ideas” listing. You don’t want to see the “superior tips” listing. Trust me. So I requested the homemaking maven for her tips on job search. After six months, I even have reluctantly come to the conclusion that she may not be going to reply. Undaunted, I actually have ch anneled my inner Martha to recreate what I suppose she would do have been she ever to search out herself in a prolonged job search. Here is my “Martha Stewart Job Search” month-by-month guidelines for the primary few months of 2012. Enjoy. January: Update resume. February: Attend networking meetings March: Practice Interviews April: Cold name employers May: (If still available on the market) Consider government jobs Disclaimer: The steps outlined here on no account mirror the precise employment situation of Martha Stewart, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc., or anyone else who would possibly sue me for this post.
