"Every year, fifty million jobs are filled in the United States, almost all without a job posting."

If you're idea of conducting a job search means cutting a pasting your resume into applicant tracking systems on job boards and company career sites, call your doctor and get a prescription for Zoloft. You'll need it.

David E. Perry is coauthor of the Guerrilla Marketing for Job Hunters series (now in it's third edition), the Guerrilla Job Search System DVD series, as well as the author of Career Guide for the High-Tech Professional. Nicknamed the "Rogue Recruiter" by the Wall Street Journal, he is a veteran of more than 1000 recruiting and executive search projects - with a 99.7% success rate. David has negotiated more than $185 million in salaries as Managing Director of Perry–Martel International, an executive search firm based in Ottawa, Canada. I'm pleased to have him back for a Career Strategies Podcast on TotalPicture Radio.

Stay Tuned... A complete transcript of David's interview will be available soon!

Diane Dolinsky-Pickar

Think about the time when you felt your absolute best in your career. You were excited, you loved what you were doing, and you had no problem answering the question, “What do you do?” because you had mojo.

And now, for whatever reason – the economy, a soul-sapping job, fear of change – you have lost that mojo feeling and are stuck.

While there are plenty of career advice sites out there, why isn’t there a practical one to help people over 40 get over those roadblocks and get unstuck? Welcome to a Career Strategy Channel podcast on TotalPicture Radio. This is Peter Clayton reporting. Joining me today is the co-founder of Mojo40.com. Diane Dolinsky-Pickar – who met my partner at SprialWorks Marking, Valerie LaSusa, a short time ago. Val called me and said, "Peter, you have to have Diane on TotalPicture Radio." Now, Val’s recommendations are few and far between so I paid attention!

Diane sent me this bio: "Among the things Diane loves best: learning, taking initiative, and being an 'executrix' extraordinaire. (That’s like a dominatrix, but lose the whip.) She has worked for more than 6 years in digital marketing and lead generation, and has focused on the online world for more than 3 years. She is also a serial entrepreneur, having earlier built a successful food and beverage export firm."

James Marvin

James Marvin: "You can pack your parachute a thousand times, but at some point you're going to have to jump and trust that you're going to know what to do in the unlikely event you have a malfunction."
