Jobless claims came in just below expectations, with the data supporting a strong labor market, though sentiment among workers may not reflect this strength. Yahoo Finance’s Alexandra Canal takes to the streets of Manhattan where people tell her their read on the current job market. Wealth! Host Brad Smith sits down with Eliana Goldstein Coaching founder Eliana Goldstein to discuss tips for those searching for a job. "There’s a lot of mixed sentiments out there that there’s despair, there’s frustration, there’s burnout, but there’s also hope," Goldstein says, adding job searching is different across industries. "And it really depends on where you are applying. So we have to be thoughtful about that and strategic." She says, "We’re in a time right now where there aren’t as many jobs getting posted [so] we need to focus on a proactive strategy as opposed to a reactive strategy. Reactive job searching is waiting for a job to be posted and then applying for it, right? But proactive job searching is focusing on ‘Okay, what are my target companies? Where do I want to work? How do I proactively establish relationships there before anything even gets posted?’ Because number one, so often, jobs don’t even get posted in the first place. And at the very least, as soon as it is posted, at least I have the relationship there. Who can help me out and refer me in? So that is what we really want to be focusing on right now."
