When she was in the second grade, she borrowed one of her father’s old typewriters and started putting out a stapled magazine that she sold to people in the neighborhood and at school. About the same time, Woodring started creating catalogs that offered books that she had not yet written.

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.

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.

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.

When you search for a job, you will be spending money and this becomes your investment for the future of your family. When the job you found will be paying you lesser than what you are worth then that means that the investment you made failed. The reality of life is that you do not actually get what or how much you deserve but you get what you were able to negotiate. This applies true when we talk about one’s career. The best thing to do to be able to negotiate the salary you wanted is to know your bottom line.

• Keep a record of all calls you’ve made, resumes you’ve forwarded, and applications you’ve completed. Call back or visit these employers about two weeks after you’ve given them your resume. It’s a good idea to speak to the person who is actually hiring for the position. If you don’t know that person’s name, ask the Human Resources or Recruiting office for it.

• Searching for a new job can often be an exhausting experience, even harder than a full-time job. Though it may seem a long time before you receive a call from a potential employer, do not get discouraged! Use your energy to make a daily, weekly, and even monthly plan of what you need to accomplish. You really will feel good when you see your plans on paper, especially as the “things-to-do” list shrinks and changes every day!
