Job Search Tips

Job Search Tips
  • 2 out of 10 jobs are advertised. That means for every 2 ads you see, 8 more jobs are NOT being advertised!

  • You have 20 seconds for someone to see your resume and form an opinion, so arrange your information strategically.

  • It can be a good idea to get your foot in the door by taking a position that is not ideal.

  • People prefer to hire someone who's been recommended by someone they trust.

  • See every opportunity as a networking opportunity. You never know who might be able to help you get connected.

  • Use the internet to find information.

  • Apply in person!

  • Don't give up! Weekly follow-up is not annoying or desperate.

  • When contacting an employer, always get the name of the person you spoke with.

  • Get your job history resume, cover letter and references in order.

  • Bring the right tools to your interview! ( resume, references, 2 pens, notebook with questions)

  • Remember please and thank you!
