Successful Job Hunting takes effort every day



Unless you are very lucky, trying to find a job, must sometimes feel like chipping away at a stone cliff.  It takes a ton of effort so make sure you are:

  • updating your resume and sending it to your recruiters, your networks/connections, your friends and family
  • ask them to forward it to anyone they know who might be in the market for your skill set
  • use your social media, LinkedIn and Twitter are great vehicles for you to sell yourself
  • send your resume in to jobs you are qualified for and then FOLLOW UP.  
Chances are companies aren't going to be knocking down your door looking for you.  So be prepared for some hard work to find the position you've been waiting for.

Good Luck Job Hunting!!! O:)

Your resume stands alone - make sure it packs a punch



Remember when you send your resume in to a company, it stands alone.  Make sure your resume packs a punch, you need to stand out from the other 100's of resumes the company receives:  

  • use key words from the job description
  • start your achievements, etc off with action words
  • highlight your education especially if it is one of the job requirements
  • make sure your cover letter tells them that not only are you a fit for the job, but that you really want the position.
Good luck job hunting! O:)
