More Job Development

Here are additional resources from job development consultants, training organizations, and state agencies:

Allen Anderson articles at Dover Training Group & Employment Management Professionals. Check out the whole site. I like this from the DTG-EMP About Us page:

1. Job seekers do not have to be job ready to go to work. Plenty of people who were not job ready are working.
2. A linear path works for the most able and a nonlinear path for the less able.
3. We respond to the job market; the job market does not respond to us.
4. Job development is sales and marketing, not education or counseling, although education and counseling are often sales and marketing.
5. Employer needs are the keys to jobs, not candidate skills.
6. Failing at a job is a good beginning, not a poor ending.
7. The employer is the linchpin to jobs - gain control here and all is possible.
8. The only absolute must in going to work is the motivation to work.
