How to Attract Your Dream Job

You've probably seen the Secret movie by now or at the very least you have heard about it. In short, the Secret movie is about the Law of Attraction and you can use this law to draw your perfect job into your life. To get started, make a list on paper of all the things you don't want in a job or don't like in your current job. Then, take each one of those items on your list and ask yourself what you would like instead. So, one of your list items might be that you don't want to work with a bunch… Continue

Tips For a Successful Telephone Interview

Telephone interviews are often conducted by companies as a first step to the hiring process. They are frequently conducted by someone in Human Resources and typically follow a standard interview format. They are meant to weed out the undesirable candidates so that the hiring manager has only a short list of pre-qualified candidates to interview. For these reasons, it is important to make sure that you are well prepared for the telephone interview. Start by researching as much information as you… Continue

Working With an Employment Agency - What to Expect

There are many benefits to working with an employment agency. It is a good strategy for tapping into the hidden job market and because they are bound by confidentiality, you can register with them and be assured that information about your search for employment will not get back to your current employer. Also, if you are in a full-time job, you can leverage some of your job search time by using an agency. Further, there are many companies that rely solely on using employment agencies in their ca… Continue

Are cover letters still worth writing?

With email so prevalent, the email itself is now the 'cover letter', some may find this survey interesting. MENLO PARK, Calif., June 25 /PRNewswire/ -- As the job application process increasingly moves online, some job seekers might be tempted to think a formal cover letter is no longer necessary -- not so, a new survey shows. Eighty-six percent of executives polled said cover letters are valuable when evaluating job candidates. Moreover, eight out of 10 (80 percent) managers said it is common… Continue

HR pros reveal how to get noticed

Approaching an HR manager out of the blue about a job you heard about can be a tricky thing. I recently surveyed some Human Resource folks about this very tactic. I think you'll find their answers interesting and insightful. Steve Goldmintz wrote "As a candidate approaching an HR Manager, you have to be what they want, when they want it." Samantha Matson wrote: I don't recommend they approach the HR Manager directly. They should apply directly via the company's preferred way of rec… Continue

LinkedIN strategies (1) – Tight vs Broad Network

Do you have any Questions?

This question is asked at the end of most interviews, and it gives the candidate a chance to shine and stand out from the pack. Do you come loaded with questions, or do you end an interview saying that all your questions were answered? Most candidates clam up at this point, giving the impression that they are uninterested or unprepared. It’s a huge mistake. A more effective strategy is to come loaded with questions, so you’ll always have a few left for the end of each interview. You’ll want di… Continue

Learn the top 5 best paying hourly jobs

I discovered a neat little list of the best paid hourly jobs from Forbes.com. Sales representative tops the list of the country's highest-paid hourly jobs. 1. Sales employees can expect to make an average of $27.64 an hour, according to new government data. But that doesn't come easy. Many jobs in sales experience high turnover--what's more, most salespeople's pay is commission-based. At the high end, though, this job could generate an average annual six-figure salary.

Job Fairs - What's Their Purpose?

In all my life, I’ve only been to two of these. The first one I went to when I was 14. I already had a part-time job and was no more interested in a career at that point than the people at the booths were interested in hiring a bubbly teenager. The second job fair I attended was put off yesterday. Even though I have a job, I thought it would be good for me to get out there and see what business owners in my city want from their employees. I am a business consultant, after all. Plus my friend wh… Continue

By my definition a net is a group of people with various life experiences and perspectives.

Our responsibility first and foremost is to get connected and to stay connected to this net or network of people.

Avoid the "Scattershot" Job Search

I've seen a number of resumes lately for technical positions my colleages and I are recruiting for; unfortunately, the vast majority of candidates were completely unqualified. One thing about technology - if people DON'T have what's needed, such can eliminate the candidate very quickly. The "I can learn" theory of doing things is not something that's applicable. Thus, such candidates were "set off" to the side. Employers don't spend time endlessly reading unqualified resumes; it's a ve… Continue

Turn Your 15 Seconds into Interviews

15 Seconds.... That's how long the average reviewer spends on your resume, before making an interview/no interview decision. That's IF your resume gets beyond a database search. To put it in perspective, think about what you can do in 15 seconds: Brush your teeth, kiss your significant other, uncork a bottle of wine, pour a beer, load the washing machine, pour coffee, tie your shoes, put on your shirt, tie your tie, or watch Monty Python's Slapping Fish Dance. So how can you… Continue

Send Fewer Resumes

Which do you think is more effective: 1) Sending 100 resumes for many jobs in the hope that a few will be interested in you? or 2) Send a few resumes to a few jobs that you are a perfect fit for? While this strategy is counterintuitive, sending fewer resumes is a much more effective method. An effective and customized resume can get a 25-50% "hit ratio" (phone screens or interviews divided by total resumes sent) using a send fewer strategy. Why does this work? When you send fewer resumes, you… Continue

Tales from the Resume Reef: Doublecheck that Content!

True stories abound from recruiters and employers alike. When they've reviewed resumes, they haven't seen the key "needed" skills, experience and education. So, they don't call the candidate. Invariably, some candidates follow up (and good for them!) and speak to the hiring authority. What they are told is something like "well, we didn't see any Oracle experience" on your resume. What people have sometimes responded with is "Oh, I have that" or something similar. However, the problem i… Continue

Is 'industry experience required' overrated?

Although he has been on 3-4 interviews he hasn't landed a job (been in the market for 8 weeks now).

How in the world can you demonstrate leadership in a resume?

You can't. Leadership is a skill that you can only demonstrate in person. So why do professional and managerial career changers take up valuable resume space trying to convince their reader that they are leaders? I find that managerial career changers want to define themselves as leaders. Not for their audience, the hiring manager, but for themselves. Since many experienced job changers write egocentric resumes (writing for themselves as the audience, not the hiring manager), this shouldn't c… Continue

Tales from the Resume Reef: Contractual "Obligations"

Lately, I've seen some resumes where a candidate has worked for less than a year at several employers. As a recruiter, I try to read further, and can usually discern that the person was working on contracts or consulting. If I speak to the candidate, he/she usually confirms my suspicion. However, not all recruiters nor employers "dig" that deeply when they see a lot of short employment stints. It tends to make them wonder about work histories when they may not have to. If you have worked temp… Continue

Email Lesson Learned the Hard Way
