A Farewell Message from Barb Smith, Job Search Coach

The day has finally come to shut down this website and move on to life's next challenge. In October of 1996, I took my first steps toward self-employment. Almost ten years after that (May, 2006) I launched the website. Today, four years later, I am winding up both to step into a position that will present an entirely new set of challenges. Needless to say, my feelings are mixed. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with job seekers to help them move successfully through the job search process, and I will miss hearing from you. At the same time, I'm excited at the prospect of learning a new business and meeting new challenges.

As this will be my final message, I would like to acknowledge the person who was instrumental in putting this website together and who continually answered my questions and encouraged me. That person is Jill Pillon of SilverSwift and Associates; without her knowledge and patience, this website would not exist.

To all of you – my loyal visitors – thank you. You made it all worthwhile. I wish you all the best. And to those of you who continue to pursue your dream job, remember:
~~~~~~~~
The person who gets hired is not necessarily the one who can do the job the best; but the one who knows the most about how to get hired.

Have you been downsized?
      Are you considering a career change?
            Are you currently engaged in a job search?


These are challenges that many of us have to face, but we don't have to face them alone.

Barb Smith, Job Search Coach provides confidential services tailored to your needs.

From coping with the loss of your last job to negotiating your compensation package for the next job, Barb will help you work through all of your job search questions and challenges, saving you much of the time and frustration associated with the job search process.

Let Barb be your compass, guiding you to job satisfaction.

While you were busy at your last job, how often did you think about the strategy you would use to pursue your next job? Not very often, right? You're not alone. While we are working we tend to think about the job we are currently in or about how great it will be when we land our dream job. How we're going to get there doesn't often make it onto the radar screen. Consequently, when the time comes, many of us fly by the seat of our pants and, not surprisingly, this is reflected in a long, frustrating search that generates few interviews and even fewer offers.

Make sure your next job is the right job. Barb can help you get there.
