Treat Your Job Search Like a Job

2011-01-07T18:07:00.000-06:00

For most people when you lose a job the most important thing at that time is to find a new job. It takes times to find a decent job and the more effort you put towards your search the better off you will be. Treat your job search as a job itself. Keep a set schedule of when you will work on your resume and cover letter, when you will make follow up phone calls, when you will search internet boards, time for networking meetings, etc. Keeping a schedule will keep you on track, keep you busy and hopefully find that job you have always been dreaming of.

Use Job Alerts

2010-12-25T22:41:00.000-06:00

Tired of endlessly going back to the same job boards or company websites? Most allow you to set up job alerts using criteria you set. What does this mean? When a job that matches your criteria is open these alerts will notify you by email. This is easy, convenient and keeps you from the boredom of constantly checking certain websites.

Get Your Resume in Front of the Hiring Manager

2010-12-17T21:18:00.000-06:00

Seek out the hiring manager for the position you are applying for. With so many people applying for the same job most resumes are overlooked. Instead of sending off your resume blindly see if you can find out who the hiring manager is through people you know at that company, through LinkedIn or basic networking. This will help your resume get to the top of that pile and to the eyes of that important hiring manager. This will give you a huge advantage. This is easier said than done but if you can find a way to do it, it will pay off.

Job Keyword Trends

2010-12-04T12:00:00.036-06:00

Times and jobs are always changing but current trends point towards social marketing and technology.

Here is what they found below in no particular order.

-Facebook

Keep your resume up to date even if your not searching for a job. You never know when you may need to provide your resume and this is something you don't want to rush so be prepared ahead of time.

Join groups related to your industry and attend their meetings. These associations can be added to your resume, you can learn new things and be up to date in your industry and most importantly you will be networking. Networking is the key here for finding possible job opportunities.

References are Important

2010-10-29T20:51:00.000-05:00

When you fill out a job application most likely they will ask for a few references. Be sure to have the names and contact information of three or more reliable and honest references. Try to include references that are professional, in your field and have a good background on you. Do not just pick friends that will sugar coat or lie for you. Many recruiters and interviewers will follow up and call a couple of your references so they could make or break your chances of landing that dream job so put some thought into who you choose. I would also suggest reaching out to your chosen references ahead of time so that they are not caught off guard when a recruiter comes calling. Make sure they are ok with being a reference and let them know what kind of jobs you are seeking.

Tough Interview Questions

2010-10-22T19:54:00.000-05:00

Some interviewers may ask weird, tough or off the wall interview questions. Usually they are looking to see how you handle issues, pressure, your creativity and how your mind thinks. There really is no way to prepare for those unexpected questions other than to be relaxed, be honest and don't over think it. Here is an article focusing on this issue at http://www.quintcareers.com/wild_card_interview_questions.html.

Check Temp Agencies

2010-10-16T20:50:00.000-05:00

Temporary agencies are always looking for new people and work with many companies. Although the pay is not always as high and you may have short assignments it still can be a useful resource. Working as a temp at a company you get a chance to network, possibly get hired as a permanent employee and will make some money while your working on your job search.

Never Burn Bridges

2010-10-09T17:07:00.001-05:00

Never burn bridges when you leave a company. You never know what opportunities may pop up at your old employer. You might end up networking with a former co-worker or see a job listing at your old company but if you burnt any bridges when you first left then those opportunities are now closed to you. So whether you were laid off or resigned remember to restrain from bad mouthing the company, co-worker or anything involved with that company for that matter.

Dress to Impress for Interviews

So you got yourself an interview in the corporate world. What now? Dress to impress!

This shows your interviewers that you're a professional and an equal. So go get that dusty suit out, iron your shirt and impress the hell out of your interviewers.

Use Job Related Keywords in Your Resume

2010-09-04T21:18:00.000-05:00

Depending what the job and requirements are make sure your resume includes keywords that match that job. If a job posting lists analysis experience and you have that make sure you include that word for example. Some companies have software that reads resumes and if you don't have relevant keywords your resume most likely will get passed by. Read those job postings carefully and make sure to include the important keywords in your resume but don't over stuff it with these words.
