The Hidden Job Market

by Robin Ryan

Effective job hunting demands a proactive approach where you track down potential openings and actively follow up on leads. Too often job hunters simply don't know where else to look after they finish with the want ads in the Sunday newspapers. To get your search rolling you need to find good jobs to apply for.

So what websites are worth visiting? What techniques are most effective?

To develop your list, use business journals, annual reports, trade magazines, association listings, yellow pages and business directories, many of which can be found at your local library. Check out Hoover’s Handbook of American Business, The Thomas Registers, Million Dollar Directory, as well as Standard and Poor’s Registry of Corporations, Directors and Executives.

by Randall S. Hansen, Ph.D.

Non-compete clauses are the business version of a prenuptial agreement. Where in the courtship and marriage proposal, some folks are caught off guard when asked to sign the pre-nup, the same can be said in the employee-employer courtship we call interviewing, when as a condition for hire, the prospective employer asks the job-seeker to sign a non-compete clause.

What are non-compete clauses, why do some employers use them, and how should you handle a request to sign one? That's what this article is all about.

Non-compete clauses have been on the rise over the last decade. What were once used for top executives, scientists and technicians, and sales people, are now being given to all new hires to sign.
