Job Postings in Region Increase – Stronger Holiday Season ahead
(Albany, NY, December 6, 2011) – Job postings in the region increased a few hundred, a welcome sign that holiday hiring has kicked in and employers are seeking some glimmers of hope in a difficult and concerning economy. Postings were up to 2650, up 5% over the previous week, a holiday week, when little improvement was expected. “ This is welcomed news as it appears that holiday hiring – which many people count upon – is finally occurring – if not rather late - and this is positive for those in the job market today”, stated Dan Moran, Founder & President of Next-Act (www.next-act.com), a career transition management firm located in Colonie.
Similar results were posted in other NYS markets. Our region continues to outpace other NYS markets, with the exception of metro NYC, and our Region is much smaller. Postings in the Buffalo – Rochester- Syracuse are were just over 2200 again this week.

Holiday Job Search: Jobs don’t go away – job seekers do.
"Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is here - the "official" holiday season. . The time of the year when parties abound, there are presents to buy and the time of the year when no one finds a job – an often repeated mantra or myth.
Wrong!
I wrote about this a few years back and after listening to people over the past week or so, think it is time to revisit this again.
Diffusing the Myth
The true fact is this: Companies continue to hire during the holiday season but job hunters quit looking. As a recruiter and corporate human resources executive job openings continue during December just when many job seekers put their resume on the shelf for the holiday season. There is no statistical proof that there are fewer new job openings in the month of December versus other time of the year. In fact, many say it is just the opposite. Hiring isn’t driven by a calendar, it is driven by need.
Many companies want to tie up loose ends – and that means hiring
In many companies, hiring actually heats up in December as managers and business owners have money left in their budgets and want to spend their budget rather than potentially losing it. Still others want to tie up loose ends before the end of the year – and this includes filling open positions.
Many are also surprised to learn that the holiday season is also a popular time for people to give their notice and move on, to get a fresh start in a new job for the New Year. The result – more job opportunities for others.
Six Tips for Your Holiday Job Search
So, before you buy into the myth, put your resume on the shelf and don your dancing shoes, consider the following actions:
• Use holiday events as networking opportunities – Every event, party, children’s school function, gathering etc. is an opportunity for you to network, make a new contact. During the holidays there are generally more events – and more opportunities!
• Volunteer and make new contacts – Get involved with a charity or group during the holiday season. Often the pillars of the community either attend or help at these events and for you, which means an opportunity to make great contacts – and give back to the community at the same time.
• Rather than holding back on search activities – heat up your actions – While I hope I have enlightened you to keep the search activities going, others still won’t and there will be less competition and fewer candidates giving you a better competitive opportunity.
• Close down loose ends – contacts, follow-ups, applications – What better time of the year to close down your “to do” list of contacts and follow-ups and tie up you own loose ends.
• Make yourself flexible & available and keep in contact – What is miserably frustrating to a recruiter is the inability to get in touch with potential candidates who “check-out” during holiday weeks. They just don’t check their email and messages go unreturned. Stay connected!
• Set goals – celebrate wins – visualize success - You may have heard the expression “You cannot manage what you cannot manage”. In career & job search, it is critical that you set goals, and set daily actions to achieve your goals, especially when outside factors – like holiday activities – can be distracting. I utilize the Get Hired NOW!methodology with my clients which focuses on goal setting, drives results through doing simple and planned actions everyday, and celebrates the achievement of goals. As an idea, set a goal for making X-number of networking contacts this holiday season --- and celebrate when you hit your goal!
Keep the pressure on and take advantage of less competition in the market as some will just not take advice and hang it up for the season.
And thank you for reading this. - Dan

Job Postings in Region Drop Significantly on Heels of Holiday
(Albany, NY, November 30, 2011) – Job postings in the region dropped significantly from 3880 to just over 2500 on the heels of the long Thanksgiving holiday, which was expected. However, analyst caution that the overall number is well below 2010. “The market dropped this past seven days as we have seen in the history and this was expected. However, the region’s job postings are hitting some all time lows, which is concerning. There appears to be a malaise in the market – employers are just holding back on hiring looking for some sign of improvement” stated Dan Moran, Founder & President of Next-Act (www.next-act.com), a career transition management firm located in Colonie.
“For job seekers, not great news but if history proves right, the market will be stronger next week – so keep your efforts strong. Do not get caught up in the holiday myth – jobs do not go away during the holiday period – jobs are fueled by demand so keep your efforts strong”.
Similar results were posted in other NYS markets. Our region continues to outpace other NYS markets, with the exception of metro NYC, and our Region is much smaller. Postings in the Buffalo – Rochester- Syracuse are were just over 2000 again this week.

Give thanks and be grateful ...
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” – John F. Kennedy, 35th President of the United States
As we end the Thanksgiving weekend, one which I hope was enjoyable for you. It is important to look back and think for moment.
Life is hectic. The demands of one’s job, life and all that revolves around us can be a whirlwind at times. And at times, very nerve wracking and unsettling.
That is why, at this time of the year, one just needs to stop dead in your tracks – pause, reflect, give thanks and be grateful for what you have and who you know. It is important, and gives a new and fresh perspective.
Perhaps it is the boss you have that you like – sometimes and not others. The special group of co-workers you spend your day with. Your friends and business associates. Great clients. The folks who work in your favorite stores. Your doctor and the medical professionals who work to keep you healthy. The list can go one.
A few ideas:
• Remember that mentor – the person you go to for advice and feedback with a phone call or personal visit just to say thanks.
• Think about the special person who helped you solve a problem at work or at home. Maybe it was advice they gave; maybe an action of some type. It happened in the past – bring it to the present by acknowledging and showing your gratitude.
• Give back to your network of contacts – reach out, say thanks and ask how you can help them. In Harvey Mackay’s book, Dig Your Well Before You Are Thirsty (http://store.harveymackay.com/product_p/48543-3.htm), a highly recommended book on networking, he makes a very strong point: don’t just take from your network of contacts, always see how you can help them and then do so.
• In the hectic world of healthcare, where there never seems to be a break, think about those who help you give care to a patient or attend to a families need. The ones that perhaps are not recognized, or work in the shadows so to speak – but are still ever so important. Perhaps it is the contact who is helping you along in your healthcare career.
Giving thanks and showing your gratitude will bring rewards back to you as well. You will be remembered and thought of when a new opportunity opens up for a job or in business, community or socially. And – you will feel good too.
That feel good feeling is truly motivating and will take you to new heights.
And thank you for reading this. - Dan

Job Market Update 11 23 11 - Some good news
For Information: Dan Moran, 518-641-8968
November 23, 2011
Job Postings in Region Continue Little Growth … Good Unemployment News
(Albany, NY, November 23, 2011) – Job postings in the region were up 100 over the previous week, indicating that the market is flat yet again. Postings came in at 3880, up about 100 from the previous week but below the baseline of 4000 postings which we would normally expect to see at a minimum. “Last year, at this time, postings were up to 5300; the market continues to be flat in 2011 and the trend is continuing. While this is not good news, those in the job market need to continue to be aggressive in searching as there are many very good opportunities today, and employers will continue to hire right through the holiday season. The myth has been that hiring stops during the holidays; there is no truth or study supporting this. In fact, company recruiters complain that job seekers don’t respond to opportunities during this hiring time. So – don’t put your resume on the shelf – keep looking and use the holidays to network more”, stated Dan Moran, Founder & President of Next-Act (www.next-act.com), a career transition management firm located in Colonie.
“There is some good news as well. The unemployment rate in the Region has dropped yet again. This means the competition for jobs will be less for those in the market”. The unemployment rate in the region is now 6.5%, well under the NYS and national average. “We just need consistent hiring activity in the private sector at a higher clip to turn this around”, continued Moran.
Similar results were posted in other NYS markets. Our region continues to outpace other NYS markets, with the exception of metro NYC, and our Region is much smaller. Postings in the Buffalo – Rochester- Syracuse are were just over 2000.

There is a fine line between dreams and reality, it's up to you to draw it. ~B. Quilliam
As you likely know if you have read my writings for a period of time, I am all about doing what you love – what drives your passion – in your career and life for that matter. Those engaged in work or life situation where they are fulfilled, motivated and enjoy, prosper, grow and lead happier lives.
But there is another element to consider – reality.
I was just reading about one of the Occupiers in NYC who had a good job teaching in the NYC school system but felt unfulfilled. He quit his job and embarked to complete his Master’s degree in Puppetry (the art – not the new technology). Obviously he enjoyed this. The reality was that now over a year later hounded by school loans he could not find a job in his chosen field.
I did a scan of the national job market. With over 4 million job postings, there were two that were looking for those with experience and interest in the field of puppetry. Only two – not very promising for sure. A sure case for doing a reality check before launching in a new direction.
One of the critical processes I bring my clients through is the reality check. We could identify a direction that in no way would be feasible from an economic, market or other perspective. It can be a damper but critical to know. This gentleman in this article likely didn’t do that and he will need to, in his mind, “settle” in his next job.
So – what do you do when facing seeking a new direction?
Be sure you do a reality check. Analyze and determine:
… What is the current job market for a person seeking this career direction?
… What are the future prospects for the chosen field?
… What technology or other advances may change the market opportunities in the future?
… What skill set will this career demand in the future that I will need to invest in?
You may not like the answers, but the answers will be your reality check and this is very important. Occupations and industries are changing and will continue to change. Remember the Travel Agent – the Typewriter Repairperson - The Stenographer? All fell and continue to fall victim to a changing market and technology.
Do what you love yes – but be sure there is enough “love” to make it viable. Put the odds in your favor. And thank you for reading this. – Dan
PS: May you and your family have a peaceful and restful Thanksgiving.
