]]> Comment on New Job Envy - Do You Have It? by Search http://www.jobsearchsecrets.net/2008/04/01/new-job-envy-do-you-have-it/#comment-78504 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 07:16:12 +0000 http://www.jobsearchsecrets.net/2008/04/01/new-job-envy-do-you-have-it/#comment-78504 I do agree with the fact that we should actively try to search for jobs and it should not be viceversa. 3 steps I believe will solve every job seeker. Step1: find the right job, don’t waste time by visiting all companies career pages. Try to find all the information in one search by visiting job search engines like <a href="http://www.jobmixi.com" rel="nofollow">jobmixi.com</a>, indeed.com which will show you results from all company career pages and jobboards. step2: Prepare a resume, if you are not good at that seek help of a good resume builder available online. step3: Be prepared for the interview, present yourself properly, groom yourself professionally on that day. I believe all i did was this and i am in my dream job now.

If yor resume is too long, they will put it in the trash can. Also remember to avoid stating information in your resume which you cannot later prove. Do not lie about your skills, experience or qualifications because employers do conduct checks during the recuitment stage. It’s worth mentioning the importanc of keeping your resume brief:

]]> Comment on Resume - On the Fast Track by Jennifer http://www.jobsearchsecrets.net/2008/03/18/resume-on-the-fast-track/#comment-76432 Sat, 22 Mar 2008 14:15:14 +0000 http://www.jobsearchsecrets.net/2008/03/18/resume-on-the-fast-track/#comment-76432 Great post! I just wanted to add that it is also SO important to proofread your resume. While a resume may not have to be "perfect", it can be tossed if even a single word is spelled wrong. Give the resume to a couple of friends or relatives and have them look it over. A second set of eyes can often be the best thing that ever happened to your resume. Good luck to anyone on a job search! I read this blog a lot and you offer some really great tips! Thank you! Great post!

It Should Be! by Maria Hebda http://www.jobsearchsecrets.net/2008/02/25/is-this-on-your-resume-it-should-be/#comment-74641 Thu, 06 Mar 2008 20:59:36 +0000 http://www.jobsearchsecrets.net/2008/02/25/is-this-on-your-resume-it-should-be/#comment-74641 I have to agree with Judi on this one. However, if someone is working with a professional resume writer, including a brief company description is should NOT be missing. Also, please remember career achievements play a critical role when it comes to your resume. Is this information in your resume? It should be! Career achievements are what "sell" you to employers. In today's competitive job market, your resume MUST go beyond a laundry list of duties and responsibilities. If you are targeting a mid to senior-level management position, your career achievements will demonstrate your team and/or organizational leadership strengths and skills, ability to identify problems and provide solutions, and prove your ability to take on and effectively manage key projects from beginning to end. Employers expect to see career achievements in a resume, especially for those seeking any type of management position. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria E.

Knowledge of your subject matter will only take you so far; being able to communicate that material clearly - especially with the current focus on standardized testing and higher accountability - is one of the qualities that makes for an effective teacher. Make sure that ability shines through in your cover letter as well.

I wanted to add that I also think it is important to integrate keywords and phrases taken directly from the job description into your cover letter. Those words may stick out to the hiring manager and make them want to continue reading. Also, be sure that your cover letter is error free. Be sure to spell check and check for punctuation errors a few times before sending it on it's way. Thanks again, I look forward to reading your next post! Thanks for the post!
