Resume Writing - 10 Tips to Bullet Proof Your Resume

I found a short article featuring ten excellent resume writing tips at http://www.free-resume-tips.com/10tips.html.

Relocate

If your open to relocating for a new job you most definitely will open new doors.  Some places have more opportunities than others.  Some cities might have certain industries or companies in your expertise.  This isn't for everyone but for those able to easily pick up and move it can certainly help in your job search by being flexible.  If you relocate for a job be sure to ask the employer if they offer relocation incentives such as moving costs or temporary housing.

Proof Read and Spell Check Your Resume!!

Before you post you resume to a job board or submit it directly to a job posting make sure to proof read it and spell check it.  Hiring managers frown upon misspellings and bad grammar.  This is very important to do otherwise your resume might be passed up.  Proof read and spell check your resume!

Research the Company Before you Interview

If you land that important interview do some research on the company before you go.  Learn what the company does and some basic facts.  Bring a printout with you and throw in a fact or two while answering interview questions.  This will show your interest in the company and impress the interviewer.  Knowledge is power!

Business Cards

If you are farther along in your career and do quite a lot of in person networking then business cards can always be an additional bonus.  Business cards have your information for people to contact you and keep your name in people's heads.  There are countless services online that offer free or very cheap business cards that you can design yourself to stand out from others.  Make your name stand out and get some business cards.

CareerBuilder.com

CareerBuilder.com is one of the top job search websites around.  You can search for jobs by location, keywords and job categories.  Post your resume for free and set up automatic job alerts when something matches.  This website also has tools for career resources, education center, career fairs, salary calculator, career tests and skills training.

Do Something You Love

If possible find a job in a field you love.  If your happy doing what you love it won't be like a job.  If you love sports look for a job at a sports team or if you love stocks seek out financial firms.  If your money or time is restrained this can be tough but if your lucky you will find your dream job.  Keep your resume ready for that dream opportunity and you may never have to look for a job again.

Send Thank You Notes

If you just went on a successful interview make sure to get each interviewers name and email or physical mailing address.  Send a brief thank you to each person thanking them for taking the time to meet and consider you as a candidate.  Include your contact information for further questions or follow up as well.  Not everyone does this simple follow up to interviews.  These thank you notes can impress the interviewers and most importantly keep your name fresh in their memories.

BrokerageJobs.com

Brokeragejobs.com is a job search website for financial industry professionals.  This site is completely free for job seekers and job advertisers.  The search function allows you to search by state.  Not the most comprehensive site or search options but still a good niche related job search site for financial professionals.  You can email your resume to them to be included in their job seeker database they are currently creating.

Justjobs.com

Justjobs.com is as simple a job search engine that you will find.  Completely free and no registration needed.  Although just launched last year they have a great list of jobs searchable by cities, towns, counties, states, job categories, job title, keywords and companies.
