An Internet Friendly Resume Tip

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

Just typing away your resume and sending online just won’t do these days. Besides organizing your resume and making it reader-friendly, you should also consider making it keyword-friendly. Go blame the email suites out (on or offline) there.

The recruitment manager’s best friend maybe the applicant’s worst. Almost all recruitment managers don’t open all their applicant’s emails. What he or she does instead is type in particular keywords in the search field and let the email program do the filtering. Problem is, if you didn’t type in the correct keyword searched, your resume will remain unopened.

Put in the right amount of keywords related to the job you’re looking for. For example, if you’re looking for a Human Resource Job, type in keywords related to the job like HR, Compensation, Payroll, Hiring, Recruitment, etc.

Job Hunting

Admit it already, if you have internet access in your office, you’re bound to surf around those online job sites. Don’t feel guilty about it; your boss might be going to the same places as you do. However, we suggest that you pick your time carefully just to be sure that you still have a lot of time to do your work and that no one can see you.

When the Recruitment Manager calls, we suggest you reschedule. So you send in that resume and then a call goes through: it’s the company you’re applying for! Instead of whispering during your phone interview, we suggest that you reschedule it during lunchtime or after working hours.

Timing is everything.

What Makes Up The Complete Job Search?

Many people believe they are hard at work looking for work when they religiously scan the Sunday Classifieds. Unfortunately, what they are really doing is expending 100% of their effort on only 25% of the possibilities.

The “Big Three” Concerns of Employers

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

Hiring the wrong person for the job is a costly mistake because of the time and energy put into hiring and training. Employers need to find answers to three questions during their interview process:

1. Does this person have the skills to perform the job?
2. Will this person be responsible?
3. Does this person fit into our culture?

Focus your interview on answering the Big Three:

* Let the employer know you can do this job - show them you have the necessary skills and abilities. Give them examples of how you would perform the skills needed, including suggested accommodations.
