Overview of the economy's 2nd Quarter:April/May/June
April 1st President's Obama Economic Stimulus became effective thus allowing American taxpayers to receive an increase in their take home pay the$20.00 equivalent of $240 a year.
May 1st Disabled persons also received an one time allotment of 240.00 as part of the President’s Economic stimulus Plan.
June 1st Unemployment rates continue to proliferate in the US as large companies continued to implement massive layoffs and seek federal assistance. As the nation employment rate grows, California 's Governor work to maintain diplomacy while working effortlessly to solve the States Budget crisis.
In February 2009,I posted my resume on MSN.Careerbuilder.com;I received an immediate response from MSN Careerbuilder on several ways that I could improve my resume.I briefly spoke upon the improvements provide by MSN Careerbuilder in Update&critic of cac's resume II that can be found on this web page. With the posting of both my resumes, I received a total of two hundred jobs that I am eligible to apply. I am taking this time to evince the point eligible to apply which does not necessarily implies that the positions are condign or even comparable to my skills but should be taking into consideration. Futhermore,of course,I am not going to just hop on a bus or jump in a car and go to all two hundred jobs. First of all, I have only resided in Virgina for about three years and of those three years two of them was spent recovering from malicious wounding,attack, bodily and personal injury.I personally have just come to terms the with magnitude of black on black crime, self hatred,the continuing racist and prejudice attitudes of blacks to towards dark skinned black women,no,I am not going to hop on a bus in Virginia,nor, do I suggest that anyone else should hop on a bus and visit all two hundred jobs unless they absolutely have no other choice or being forced out in the streets.However,after Black History month and learning the significance and importance of the Norfolk 17,Massive Resistance b.s that no one put in the m.f history books,no, I not calling the Norfolk 17 Massive Resistance b.s,but I am stating because it was not placed in the history books it's a bunch of crock.Off the beaten path,getting back on track,and beyond the history books---instead,what remains---the economic recession that analyst has stated will most likely be one for the history books.Yet,on another note,the first step in finding suitable employment for job seekers is defintely to post your resume on a job site and join several social networks. Once the jobs listing become availablejobseekers should peruse through the list,highlighting the qualifications and salary amount to see if the jobs would be something (you) the job seeker would be interested in performing,as stated in PBS Nightly Business Report get the word out, let others know your looking for job also attend the career and job fairs.Specifically expatiating on my particular situation,I have encountered several obstacles that has caused my response to job search to be slow and impeded,for instance,my disability set limitations on the kind of work I can perform, my car was vandalized before coming to the state of Virigina,to reiterate,I have often stated"Virginia is not my stumping ground",moreover,the money that I could have used to buy a laptop or desktop now has to be put aside to repair a vandalized car in addition to car repairs,I had to replace clothes,shoes as well as let the scars on my face heal from the tussle with a black landlord.To conclude,for many American Consumers finding a job in this economy has become imperative,I know because in lieu of my current situation I thought of taking a job at Taco Bell for extra income.As a final thought cacjohnson recommends that once job seeker have their resumes posted wait for a response from MSN.Careerbuilder.com then read the job listing plus highlight the salaries&qualifications, match your skills with jobs that you have strong interest "work smarter not harder" and be more efficient in seeking jobs.In many instances job seekers can eliminate(trial&error),for example, jobs that you do not meet the qualifications skip and move to the next job on the list.You,definitely,do not want to ride around town wasting gas--be eco-friendly &eco-smart start the search before you get in the car.
Something to think about:
A few months back,I joined eharmony singles with the thoughts of meeting males with like minds and drawing a different crowd to my web site.I received by email a free subscription to eharmony/singles;I began the process but did not complete the personality profile. The process is a lenghty one and requires significant amount of time to complete.Unfortunately,I will will have to re-start the process over again because my free trial has expired,however,I decided not to completely disregard the singles network,especially,in starting a minority startup.Today the fundamentals of building a strong following,as well as readers is to utilize and optimize the most of freesocial networks,therefore, working and networking the singles dating sites has become another way to promote and get the word out about personal web sites, job search, and creating friendships. Of course, I said after "All In The Family&Mean GirlsII/Boundaries" both are blogs on my wordpress site, that singles chat rooms, and hotlines is the last thing on my mind, now it is something to think about.
Up date & Critic of cac Resume I: Before President's Day,I became a member as well as placed my resume on MSN Career Builder.com,the resume I posted on career builder is the same resume currently displayed in About Cacjohnson. The resume as posted on MSN Career Builder found approximately one hundred and twenty-three jobs (123)that I am eligible to apply. I also allowed MSN Career Builder to critic my resume,the following suggestions I received by email:
The entire process to become a member MSN Career Builder required about 30 minutes of my time with my resume already saved to a disk/easily accessible. On a scale of 1 to 5 the performance of MSN Career Builder job search service,and profesional development service receives a 5 from cacjohnson. I strongly recommend for unemployed individuals the MSN Career Builder site for job search,networking, and professional development.

Overall, the position from employers perspective from the beginning of the economic crisis in 2008 has been to cut cost and overhead,for instance health benefits for emloyees. Until the Federal government is able to make sense of the demise of certain Financial Institution more specifically in retail and banking industry unemployed workers should not rule out part-time work,also keeping resumes up-to-date, make veritable assements of skills and abilites is a stepping stone in right direction to gaining employment in 2009.

Update&critic of cac's resume II:
I received an immediate response from MSN. Career Builder in reference to my second resume. Msn.careerbuilder.com found at least (80)eighty positions that I am eligible to apply. The positions range from clerical to adminstrative assistant .In addition to finding job positions msn.careerbuilder.com also offered insightful advice on how to make my second resume stand out. The most profound advice msn.careerbuilder.com offered in the form of professional advice is "don't date yourself,you do not need to include dates older than ten years on your resume" because you do not want employers to focus on your age.

Effective Keys to Career Development:
The keys to effective Career Development are assessing,evaluating strengths and weaknesses,most importantly, listing employable skills. In addition to answering specific questions pertaining to employability, skills and interest that helps narrow the choices of careers,I have observed that listing strenght and weakneses before answering questions like "what skills do I currently have?","what jobs or career interest me most?" and "what skills will I have to acquire for the job or career of my choice?" helps to effectively direct your choice in choosing careers.
What is a Career? A career as defined by webster dictionary is "a profession or occupation"for which a person plans to be employed for a long term and often "requires a skill or advanced training." What is a job? A job as defined by webster dictionary is " a piece of work done for pay" which the person might be employed for a short time.
"While I was unemployed, I reviewed my interviewing skills and worked on professional development. In the process of strenghting my skills, and minimizing my weakness; I learned the "Twenty Five Reasons" that will cause an employer to hirer an individual." cacjohnson
