Job searching questions?

What have some of you done to help you get calls from potential employers? Or to get recruiters to actively look for you? It has been so long since I even tried looking...plus I am impatient which makes things even worse. I just have that feeling that I am "too specialized" and am never going to get a call.
 
It has been my experience that once you get a recruiter involved, they usually won't leave you alone.

You're not an underwater basket weaver are you?
 
monster & dice; apply to every job even close to your skillset.

What is your niche BeastBoy?
Mechanical/Machine Design.

Product Design in general. Also do Project Management that involves the designs/products.

I'm not ruling out a Sales type position either...just hard to break into it. I just need a shot. I've suceeded at every job I've held and my employers really liked me. It is just getting that initial interview to prove myself that seems to be the problem.

Plus I'm good looking. :)
 
Ok, now the obvious question, what happened to make you unemployed?

I'm not unemployed. Just very unhappy at my current company for a number of reasons. I've just decided I need a change....I want to work for a "secure" company.....when I don't feel secure, I worry too much...and it is unhealthy.
 
So you're marketing yourself to privately owned firms?

Do you have a project mangement cert?

I'm trying to get my resume to anyone and everyone. But anymore it is recruiters that are doing the searching.

No cert...think that would make a big difference?
 
The PM class is worth it, the cert is only really useful to hardcore PM directors.

IT certs are dead. I might not even bother to update mine
 
It's not an IT cert though.

Project Management, specifically the PMI cert is worth a couple grand in salary.
