Add to the product consumer mindframe, the fact that they need you. Many folks in the job hunt allow their need to get hired give "power" to the hirer. Remember your strengths, and confidence has to be one of them. Great post, Ella. Add to the product consumer mindframe, the fact that they need you.

All the information you could possibly need is just a click away on the internet. I mean, come on...GOOGLE is God. Let Him (ok, GOOGLE) work miracles for you...with your help, of course ;) Thinking of yourself as the product. Love it. Doing your research is so important.

When people are up against the wall, great things can happen. People need to take their newly acquired free time and invest in themselves. I personally use www.lynda.com when things get slow at the office or if I have free time at home. It is a great site with video tutorials that covers much of the software used in the creative industry. I think people should be educating themselves, which ties in with what you were saying. I also believe there are many opportunities for people to do pro-bono work. Pro-bono work can open new doors, it looks good on a resume, and it also makes you feel good about yourself at the end of the day. I agree.

I totally agree that you should think of yourself as a product you need to market. In addition, nowadays most of potential employers "google" candidates prior to meeting them, so I think all job seekers should brand themselves professionally on search engines results pages, i.e., manage their <a href="http://blog.lookuppage.com/2009/02/the-google-cv.html" rel="nofollow"> Google CV</a> Great Post Ella!
