It's Time To Retire These Lousy, Outdated Job-Hunting Tips

Description

Gone are the days where you could send out a few resumes, don a suit, and land a great gig. Business Insider reports career counselors today are singing a far different tune. In fact, many traditional job-hunting tips still given out are either outdated--or just plain bad. For example, 'follow your passion, no matter what,' is terrible advice. Why? Passion doesn't necessarily equate to competence. Incompetence leads to failure.

  • Um, Pass: Employers Don't Seem To Want To Touch Ex-Trump Staffers With Barge Pole

    The resumes of former White House staff usually go straight to the top of the pile when it comes to getting top jobs. After all, they've had the unparalleled experience of years of dealing with some of the toughest crises in government. But according to Business Insider, Trump administration staffers aren't finding such a post-POTUS cushy landing. As businesses begin to shun Trump enterprises, one PR recruiter said they had received inquiries from at least 15 people from the White House looking for jobs. The headhunter took on six people as clients, but none were able to even secure an interview with corporations they had applied to. It's just very hard. You're supposed to put anyone in front of a job that has the credentials. Morally, it's hard for people to want to work with them. Public Relations Recruiter

  • Want Quick And Easy Investments? Forget Real Estate

    If you think actively investing in real estate is all about money in the mailbox, think again. Business Insider reports seasoned real estate investors say the business is anything but passive. In fact, sometimes it can be as demanding as a job. I think one of the biggest misnomers about real estate investing is that it's passive investing. People think that they're just going to get mailbox money, and real estate is not that. Becky Nova Investor and landlord Also, real estate is about the long haul--sometimes decades, rather than months. If you want faster returns, don't become a landlord or a house flipper. Finally, dabblers beware. Learning about real estate takes time, effort, money, commitment, and experience. Good luck!

  • How To Keep Your Grocery Bills Reasonable Even When Everyone's Stuck At Home

    For the tens of millions who have lost their jobs in the wake of the pandemic, life at home has also changed dramatically for millions of Americans. According to Business Insider contributor Rebecca Chamaa, there are ways to keep your grocery bill under control, even if eating out is no longer an option. First, start with shopping by list, not by impulse. Plan your meals and shop accordingly. Pick recipes that use what you've already got. Become a big fan of leftovers. Freeze excess portions, and dub one night a week 'Leftover Buffet.' Finally, check expiration dates. Make soup stock from vegetables before they go off. Buy foods just about to go off from the bargain rack, and use immediately.
