If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Let’s face it - looking for work can be a full time job in and of itself. Between searching the classifieds, tailoring your resume to individual ads, and responding to interview questions, you probably feel like you’ve put in that forty hour week already! Use our handy list of job search tips to ease the pain and make the process a little easier.
- Design a resume template: Make a file on your computer with a partially completed resume. Add in the information that will remain the same for each job listing, but leave areas that will be customized blank, such as the resume objective. The next time you need a company-specific resume, half your work is already complete!
- Use Job Services : Sign up with online job search agencies such as Monster and CareerBuilder. These sites will help you to locate jobs quickly and easily. You can even upload your resume and have potential employers search for you! It doesn’t get much better than that.
- Seek Help : Check locally to see what job search agencies and services are available. If you have a college degree, see if the Career Services department at your school can help - many provide assistance for alumni
Looking for a job can be exhausting, but by following our simple guidelines, you can make the search a bit less painful. Take time each day to look for new ads, follow up on leads, and improve your resume. Before you know it, you’ll have the job of your dreams.
