Comment on Creating Your Client List by Greg Geilman

Great article, Lisa. So true, especially the importance of following up and staying in touch. I have always been a good “networker” but in the past I have lacked the follow-up discipline. That’s getting better for sure.

Thanks for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do some research on this. We got a grab a book from our local library but I think I learned more from this post. I’m very glad to see such fantastic information being shared freely out there.

Sorry you feel that being optimistic provides “false hope.” Maybe if we started with a little optimism the “gloom doom” scenario might not be so bad. You get what you put out there no matter how bleak the job market is. All the best to you in your job search.

This completely impractical article felt like “walk in cricles.”

Offering no substantial advice of how to “start from scratch,” the article reads more like blind optimism to the point of ignorance in the middle of an armageddon.

For those struggling with finding a job, this article will give false hope to the imperceptive, while causing the conscientious job searcher to cringe at bleakness of his/her situation.

Thanks for your comment. Companies who hire interns to work in jobs where you would be required to pay someone is not a new practice. It’s not a sanctioned practice either and subjects the employer to violations of Wage & Hour and FLSA exemption laws if they are not careful. The Obama administration does not effect this issue as violations of Wage & Hour & FLSA laws have been enforce for decades. What the Obama legislation essentially does is nothing short of giving tax breaks to businesses who can’t afford to hire people in the first place. That’s my point, it may sound like they are proposing ground breaking legislation but speaking as a small business owner, my incentive is not great enough if I have no new business or revenue coming in to employ people in the first place. What this does in ENCOURAGE employer’s to break the law by hiring interns or anyone to work for “free” when they should be paying them. It gives the organized labor more to gripe about but at the end of the day, it won’t stimulate the economy, it won’t prevent employer’s from creating unethical work around situations to hire free labor, and it certainly won’t create more jobs.

You’ve got to go deeper in this issue. I understand what Obama admin is doing and I have been writing and expressing my concerns to the White House about an abuse that has been decimating jobs for American citizens especially in my industry for sometime. Companies are trying their best to get something for nothing. I have gone from $60 to $15 an hr. And now that same company has replaced me with an “intern” for the school year or a foreigner here on an extended visa for $0. However the company never plans on hiring them. They replace them with yet another intern or foreigner. They get work out of these people, feeding them with hopes of working here permanently with pay eventually.
Now with this new law that practice will stop. If that intern is there after 2 months they must get paid. If the company HAS to pay most likely they will want to pay someone that already has experience. We still have lot’s of work to do – we need to do something about making sure that American citizens get preferential treatment. But that’s next. Focus on that instead of the little strides that Obama’s admin achieves to get us from under the black-booted control of the Republican’s true constituents – the corporations.
