How do you feel about going to work today?

Good Monday morning,

We've got over 400 people working here at TheLadders to make your job search faster, easier, less stressful, and more effective. Fortunately for you and for me, my colleagues are geniuses, and inventing new stuff all the time.

This past week they launched "Profiler". It's a single multiple-choice question you'll see when you log in. You don't have to answer it, but when you do, we'll show you how many other people on TheLadders answered it the same way. The Q&A looks like this:

After each answer... we'll ask you another question!

It might be a question like any of these:
- How do you feel about going to work today?
- Would you relocate to another state for a 10% increase in pay?
- How's your boss doing?
- How soon are you looking to get a new job?
- If you were offered a better job in another industry, would you take it?
- When you go into work in the morning, what are you most grateful for?
... and more and more and more.

Each time you answer one, you'll be helping recruiters understand you, and the opportunity you're looking for, even better. Each bit of information adds to a fuller, more complete picture of you.

We'll be writing more questions over the coming weeks to get to know you even better. Keep answering for better results!

And if you think of a good question that we're not asking, hit Reply and let us know. We are all ears...

OK, Readers, have a great week in the job search. I'll be rooting for you...

Warmest regards,

Marc Cenedella, Founder & CEO, TheLadders.com

Author's note:

I've been writing these newsletters weekly for almost a decade in order to provide you with the advice, encouragement, and assistance you need in your professional job hunt. I'll take what we've learned at TheLadders during the week, or experiences I've had with job-seekers all over the country, and try to find a usable lesson, a valuable insight, or a helpful tip to share with you on Monday morning (my writing deadline is 3 p.m. every Sunday afternoon).

I do read your replies to this newsletter. Because of the volume of replies — typically over 1,000 per week — I'm unable to answer you personally, but one of our very qualified staff from our Job Search Support team will get back to you — most of the time within three hours or less.

As I am interested in every reply I get, I'll also occasionally reach out directly by phone or by email to say thanks, or ask a question, or to see how we can solve your problem better. Thanks for reading!
