Nov-A-Decem-Blog-A-Thon: A-M-Y-Always Marketing Yourself
What is A-M-Y?
No, it's not a female name.
A-M-Y is simply an acronym for Always Marketing Yourself.
Why A-M-Y, or more specifically, why always market yourself? Because when it comes to an ever competitive job market, where the traditional 9-to-5 job has all but become a thing of the past, it's very important to always market yourself and your services. That's especially the case whether you still have your current job, in between jobs after a lay off, or even fresh out of college looking for that first job, marketing yourself to potential employers is a must.
So, how do you do that? You do it in a variety of ways, from traditional methods such as sending a resume to cover letter, to using social media networks like LinkedIn and Facebook, to networking at functions such as business expos, job fair, and even mixers. Just simply use your imagination, and creativity. You never know where it might lead you.

Not even the mayor can promise you a job
On the eve of one of the most contentious presidential elections in the history of the United States, a soon-to-be college graduate asked the first question of the second debate on October 16th.
According to the 48days.com blog, Jeremy, the 21-year-old college student in question, asked both President Barack Obama, and Republican nominee Mitt Romney what could either could do to help support him after he graduates.
Obviously, the answer wasn't to Jeremy's liking, as Obama promised he would increase the number of manufacturing jobs, while Romney promised he would continue the student loan policies.
So, what do those answers possibly have to do with you even graduating from college, let alone getting a job after you graduate from college? Just because you have a bachelor's degree from say, a prestigious institution like Harvard, doesn't even guarantee you an entry-level job, let alone a job with a higher salary.
And as far as a politician's ability to help create jobs, no one, whether it be the POTUS, the governor of a particular state (or province, in the case of Canada), or even the mayor of a certain city or town, can promise you a job. It's up to you to convince the hiring manager of a company that your unique skills or talents can help it succeed.

Nov-A-Decem-Blog-A-Thon: Should you stay in the same job for a long, long time?
Probably not, especially in an day and age of constantly changing technology. A recent article posted on Monster.com, in fact, suggests that even changing careers, let alone jobs, can be very beneficial for your career. That's especially the case if you've held a particular job for one company for an extended period of time, and see little to no chance for advancement in it.
Like it or not, the days when most people stayed with the same company or organization for at least 10-20 years or longer are long gone. In fact, the average length of a job in the United States, according to wiki.answers.com, is anywhere from three to five years, and that's just for people between 18 and 38 years old.
Also, according to a survey published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in July 2012, the number of jobs held, labor market activity, not to mention earnings growth was the highest among the youngest of baby boomers.
While staying in the same job for too long might hurt your career, it's also smart not to constantly jump from one job to another. After all, you might be seen as someone who might only be at their company for a brief period: one to two years, only to leave when a better opportunity comes along. That's especially true for recent college graduates who are just starting out.
So, what does this mean for you? When considering companies to work for, you must learn to strike the right work/life balance. In other words, you must find the right fit for you when it comes to growing your career.
