I’m a recent college graduate that works part time (technically full time hours in the summer), as tattoo artist at Six Flags theme park. The pay is great, got promoted, but there’s no health coverage since it isn’t full time. My health coverage under my parents stopped when I turned 22; about three years ago (I’m at the old age of 25 now). While looking for other work that’s full time, I’ve applied for private insurance with GHP (Group Health Plan). I get a letter today finding out that my application was denied due to my health problems which is having anxiety/depression, and OCD. I’ve also been on Effexor medication for the past four years for it. According to GHP, I qualify for high risk pool and would have to pay a higher rate, so I’m guessing it’s about $5000/month, I don’t know hopefully I’m just exaggerating on that number . It’s like I’m being singled out and wonder if health insurance companies are afraid to approve me because I’m crazy and big fat liablility. My parents said they could help me pay for the high risk insurance until I find a permanent job. I told them that that was a bad option cause it would look like I’m lazy. So ***** that, I don’t deserve their help, I’d rather go ***** in order to save money. I’ve held down my current job for years now and built an excellent reputation toward my boss and coworkers. I even graduated college with Magna Laude Honors and have a pretty decent work resumé. So, obviously, I have my illness under control and I can still function in life. Yes, I’ve been job hunting like clock work and only found very few companies online that closely match my qualifications and applied to those (no luck yet). My field is graphic design. I signed up with Creatives on Call and The Creative Group online uploading my resume and my work. I even have my current boss and an older friend of mine keep their eyes open for me for whatever work opens up in my area. I signed up for work at home that’s not scam. Next week when I have more time, I’m making an appointment for a job placement agency that will help me find full time work. The job market ***** @** right now and I’m doing all that I can here, but I still feel like it’s not enough and that GHP Health everyone else is mocking me. Basically, since GHP turned me down, other insurance companies will for sure turn me down as well. Therefore, if I got turned down due to mental illness, do I qualify for Disability/SSI if it still takes a while to find permanent work within the next few months? My dad said that me qualifying for Disability is bunch of bull****, but I wonder what anyone else’s 3 cents on this is??

Job Searching

Once upon a time, some 10 years ago, applying for a job involved buying the local newspaper and laboriously going through the wanted section, line by line, and then stuffing typed envelopes with your resume to be snail-mailed to the prospective employees. Then you would sit by the phone and the mailbox and pray.

Today with Internet recruiting and job searches, the picture is entirely different. There is no faster, simpler, more convenient or more cost effective way to reach hundreds of thousands of qualified candidates or job opportunities 24 hours a day, and 7 days a week. Responses occur instantly and the results are measurable. On-line candidates have enhanced opportunities and geographic reach, as well as an excellent method to gather information about comparable salaries and benefits.

Richard Freeman, a Professor Harvard University pointed out at a recent conference that online recruitment brought benefits to the economy as a whole but that these had not yet been quantified: finding the right candidates and filling vacancies quicker; better matching of applicants to the role; and improved retention of staff as right people filled the right posts

Yet, this apparent ease of use is deceptive. The basic rules haven’t changed despite the technology revolution, and job seekers and recruiters alike seem to have missed this in their eagerness to adopt the new world of quick and to the point – the world of emails that are short and in lower case because the sender can’t be bothered to press on the shift key.

For example, the C.V. is still the single most important tool for a recruiter to choose among worthy candidates. While recruiting technology helps match the employer to the employee, the recruiter still ends up with hundreds of resumes to choose from. Each resume is given a once over which lasts about ten seconds; if the points which they are looking for are not readily apparent in that short time, or there are spelling or grammar mistakes, the resume is put at the bottom of the pile or even worse, the circular file. Even if the resume gets in the pile, without a follow up, or a thank you, the resume might shift into the wrong pile. And of course the interview is the still the deciding factor – as yet, the human element has not gone away.

There is another thing to consider when seeking a job via the Internet. There are thousands of job sites on World Wide Web. If you do not know what you are looking for or at, you could waste hours of your valuable job search time. Plus, you want to avoid Internet scams and scoundrels. Evaluating web sites is an essential step in using the Internet for a job search.

What type of value does the site provide to the job seeker as well as the recruiter? Does the site offer job search advice or other resources? There are a flurry of new job sites out there, like RealMatch, that are trying to take the job search to a different level by creating assessment environments where the job seeker puts in a profile and the company puts in a job description. Then technology magically brings those two personalities, people, and company together—hopefully for a good match, for the perfect match. That’s an example of technology trying to bring people together for a human connection.

RealMatch has a revolutionary matching technology that goes above and beyond antiquated keyword searches. By matching specific jobs with specific skills, RealMatch screens, ranks and grades jobsjobs based on your profile and preferences. Real-Time alerts inform you when new jobs match your skills and preferences. Traffic reports inform you about potential employers viewing your profile and those that are interested in you. Business Week even called it ‘scary competition to Monster.com’ one of the largest online recruiting online recruiting sites on the Internet. These types of sites are the future of online recruiting.

If you’re a recent grad . . . or you’re getting ready to hit the job hunting marketplace . . . you better know and understand the rules. Practicing them will dramatically upgrade your response rate. Ignore them and you lose!

There’s a lot been written about how to prepare a job hunting resume and how to conduct an interview. Refer to the website mentioned at the end of this article for tons of free information on these important issues. However, before you even get to the resume . . . and before you prepare for your first interview . . . there are some basic rules that can be overlooked to your peril.

1. Make sure your voicemail greeting sounds professional. It’s a major turnoff to employers trying to reach you to encounter some sophomoric announcement that you think is cute.

2. Likewise, don’t use an email address that you think is so clever. It’s probably not the first impression you want to leave with an employer trying to reach you. For the purposes of your job hunting, set up something simple like your first and last names.

3. On the subject of emails, make sure you carefully proofread. Not shortcuts or symbols you might use with close friends. Instead use the same rules of punctuation and grammar you’d use if you were writing a letter.

4. Make sure your cell phone is turned off before you go into an interview. Nothing interrupts the flow of a good interview than your cute ringtone!

5. Dress conservatively. Match your dress to the expectations of the organization you’re talking to. In any case, no jeans, t-shirts, low necklines or sandals–even if you’re talking to some hip dot.com company.

6. Be sure to send a carefully crafted thank you letter. In it you should summarize the particular strengths and capabilities you can bring to the table.

Look, heading into the job hunting marketplace when you’re new to it is never easy. And there are many other important rules to master. Fortunately there’s a fast and easy alternative job search system that can have you talking to your next boss in a matter of days. In the meantime these basic rules can help you launch your job campaign correctly.

I am graduating from Northern Illinois University this December with a BS in Finance. I am looking for any tips on good companies to work for(based on personal experience, not random polls) in the Chicagoland area. Also, any tips on how I can make myself stand out from the rest of the applicants in the tough times we are in would be appreciated. Any other help you can offer would be great. Thanks in advance!
