I've been receiving quite a few letters from people who are looking for work. Some are short and concise. Others are practically biographies. Others have a resume attached in case I happen to know someone who might be looking for someone. Some letters are hopeful. Some are heartbreakingly sad. A couple people have expressed only their anger and frustration.
By no means are the articles here intended to suggest that it's easy finding work in any of the tech sectors right now. While unemployment rates go up and down, these kinds of statistics don't mean a lot when it comes to the individual. Finding the right job can take several months even in the best economy. I've been there too.
Unfortunately there's very little I can do for anyone on an individual basis.What I can offer you is about 20 years experience in the tech industry, including my experience recruiting, interviewing and hiring just about every tech position you could think of, from entry-level help desk positions to nuclear engineers.
So my question to you is this: How can I help? What kinds of information can I provide you with? Do you need more resume tips? More interview tips? More training and education resources? More links to job websites? What kinds of information are you looking for that isn't doing it for you?
You can let me know by posting a comment here, contacting me on Twitter, or sending me an email to jobsearchtech.guide at about.com. I get hundreds of emails each week so it's unlikely I'll be able to respond personally, but I do read them all.
Well im unemployed and Ive been searching all day for extra ways to make money as i need to start saving up for a few things
I couldnt find much online but the best i did find are these out of everything floating around.. Heres a few jobs that i found if anyone else is interested..
Here you can become a paid Mystery Mall Shopper!! and you even keep the bits you get when taking part, sounds good to me
! MallShoppers.info
and/or if you just want to stay at home and work in your spare time then there is always just completing them simple consumer opinion polls and surveys for cash even while watching tv!
!
Appartantly these pay the most out of them all so its worth signing up just to check out what they have available on their database.. SurveyDatabase.com
and if you want something possibily even more long term then there is always something like MomCpa.com
or alternatively you could just learn how to write ebooks and them sell them online etc. WritingeBooks.info seemed a great help for this.
Hope its of some use to someone else who’s also struggling like me, thought id try and make it easier than i found it hunting online

Thanks for the ideas Jenny. Do those mystery shopper things really pay? I’ve never heard anything good about them. You can also find more ideas for making part-time or quick cash at Laureen Miles Brunelli’s Work-at-Home Moms section. Making money is certainly vital. In this section we want to keep the emphasis on work and money-making ideas that are career-oriented and appropriate for your technical expertise. What are your skills?
I’ve been a mystery shopper in the past and yes, it can pay decently if you live in a well-populated area and are good at organizing and planning. Just don’t pay to get these jobs – there are plenty of good companies who hire mystery shoppers and auditors who do not require a paid membership.
On another note, if you’re offering tips, please tell people to fill out their resumes with some actual information. I am a recruiter and cannot believe how many resumes I get where there is no information beyond a job title. What does this mean to me? If you think you’re qualified for the position I have open, you’d better tell me HOW you’re qualified – what did you do that makes you qualified? Too many people sabotage their job search by making it look like they don’t care whether they get an interview or not. A well-crafted, job-specific resume increases their chances greatly.
Thank you, David!
Personally if there are anymore resume repeats I’ll go Uber postal its just like dress for success I apply for a Job as a garbage man dressed in a PETROCELLI Suit. For crying out loud. Now when I am hiring I look for someone who is properly dressed for the position,is a few minutes early (5 Or less) or has prepared in other ways. A cheat sheet for preemployment paperwork . Now when I do all this it does no good. Resume is one page with expertise listed and current schooling. So what?
i would like to know about the tips for resume and as well as how to prepare for technical interview.
