The Future of BP's American Employees

As many in the UK demand President Obama cease his promises of "kicking ass" in regards to BP and its catastrophic environmental disaster and threaten to end, as one reporter calls, "the British love-in with Barack Obama", there are around 23,000 Americans who are employed by the British oil giant and are wondering how much longer they will have a job.  Because the White House announced this week the possibility of suspending or withholding its next dividend payment next month, concerns are growing that BP"s shares will take a major nosedive, even as stocks rose in mid-June.

How to find a job in economic recession?

The key question on any laid off person’s mind is how to find a job quickly when there are so many job seekers out there. There is no simple answer for this question but there are some common pitfalls that you can avoid. Here are some tips that might be valuable for you:

1. Don’t wait for a job in your field: When a person is unemployed he is under increasing pressure to find a job quickly. This could result in bad interviews, desperation, burn out of savings etc. A better strategy could be to find a job in an odd field just to stay afloat. The timings of this job should be such that you can spend your day time looking for an ideal job while this temp job helps you pay some or all of your bills. One such job that comes to mind is pizza delivery.

2. Don’t expect sending resume is enough: The objective of a resume is to earn you an interview. You have to create variations of your resume to make them suitable for various jobs that you apply. Visit Job Listings for some sample resumes.

3. Don’t expect that cover letters are useless: Many candidates feel that recruiters do not look at the cover letter or that a brief one paragraph cover letter is enough. That’s a misconception; actually recruiters look at a resume only when their interest is ignited by a well written cover letter. You might have one resume for different jobs but a unique cover letter for each job application can help you improve your chances. For some cover letter samples visit Job Listings.

4. Don’t expect people to recommend you on their own. The key is to ask your friends, family and colleagues to help you find a job opening. Referrals are still considered the best source of qualified candidates. It costs companies to find potential employees even in a down economy. A referral eliminates a lot of risk of hiring a total stranger.

These are some basic tips, but in the end don’t shy away from sending resumes to as many probably jobs as you can. Job Listings has a good database of jobs in all fields.

Don’t get disheartened and demoralized, stay positive and keep on applying.
