Secrets of the Job Hunt

Career Advice Podcasts & Job Seeker Network

By Miriam Salpeter, Keppie Careers - www.keppiecareers.com

One thing that is sometimes difficult for job seekers to understand is that there is no one "right" way to conduct a job search or to write a resume. Every job, organization and industry requires something different. It would be nice if everyone could simply do some on-line research and write the perfect resume for themselves based on someone else's template or ideas.

If you aren't an electrician, would you wire your own house (and live in it)? If you aren't a hairdresser, would you cut your own hair? Would you ask your neighbor (who isn't a doctor) to set your broken bone? If you don't have expertise, it isn't likely that you would take on an important project by yourself.

Similarly, job seekers should realize that an important document like a resume will benefit from an expert's input. Do you really want to face the job market with a document that isn't optimized to get you where you hope to go in your career?

I think most people should hire a resume writer. After all, you're the experts.

Miriam, I agree! Even the best communicators will find that an objective third party is better positioned to highlight their skills and enhance their brand. Additionally, career professionals are closer to what will "sell' in the market. We are writing resumes and selling clients daily rather than once every 4-5 years!
