Striking the Perfect Balance on Your Resume by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Dec, 2010 Have you ever heard someone suggest the only way to get a job today is to lie on your resume? I’ve heard several people say this over the last few years. That said, consider this: I’ve also heard just about every recruiter and hiring manager I know complain they are tired of reading resumes that dramatically overstate a candidate’s qualifications for a job. Little White Lies: Who’s Going to Know? Some job seekers think t... |

Top Three Keys To Making A Great First Impression by Cathy Eng - Nov, 2010 When you are job searching, you want to be prepared from all angles. Once you apply for a job, the microscope zooms in and you must be prepared to be examined. Putting your best foot forward when you are being so closely inspected involves more than presenting an error-free resume and wearing a nice smile. Here are the three pieces that fit together to shape how employers see you. Are you lacking in any of these areas? 1. ... |

The Dos and Don’ts of Thank You Notes by Lindsey Pollak - Nov, 2010 Last week I talked about how to ask people for advice. This week, I thought it would be helpful to talk about how to thank people for the advice (and any other assistance) you receive. How perfect that it’s Thanksgiving week, too! Here are my top tips: Email thank yous are acceptable. I admit I’ve changed my mind over the years about email thank you notes. For a long time, I preached the importance of sending handwritten... |

Are you a French fry or a job seeker? by Miriam Salpeter - Nov, 2010 One of the first things I tell prospective clients who have received job hunting advice elsewhere before coming to me is that a lot of job search is unscientific — what one person likes, another thinks is useless. A good example is the cover letter debate. Some recruiters expect a cover letter, others believe they are a waste of time. The fact that opinions vary about “right and wrong” is clear in resume-ology as well. The fa... |

Engineers, Scientists, and Programmers: No Need to Apologize About Your Resume by Paul Freiberger - Nov, 2010 The calls often begin with an apologetic “never needed a programmer resume” admission: “I’ve never had to get a professional resume before.” Or, “I never dreamed of hiring a professional resume writer. I’ve always been able to land a programming job.” Or, “I never even had to look for jobs. They found me.” Software wizards have seldom needed help from resume wizards. Engineers and programmers have a desired set of skills t... |

How Many Pages Should My Resume Be? by Paul Freiberger - Nov, 2010 Unlike what your college adviser or career counselor may have told you, there are very few hard and fast rules regarding resume length. There are guidelines, but these can be broken at the drop of a hat if the end result, your resume, would be bettered by dropping them. Especially in times of high unemployment, professional resume writing is an art that demands a near-psychic connection with whoever is going to be reading ... |

Job Search Essentials: New Resume, New Suit, New Attitude? by Cathy Eng - Nov, 2010 When I was searching for my first corporate job, I was called a few days after an interview and told, "Thank you for coming in, however we’ve decided to offer the position to someone else." I politely thanked her and let her know I appreciated the interview and follow-up call. The next day, I received a call from the same person with a job offer. I remember her words so vividly: "I’ll bet you weren’t expecting to hear from me!... |

Professional Resume Writer Declares Networking is Key by Paul Freiberger - Nov, 2010 Talk to a professional resume writer or a career counselor and they’ll tell you that you need a high quality resume. You expect that. But you might surprised when they tell you that networking is even more important than the resume. As an example, consider former President Clinton, certainly a man with a strong resume. But even more than that, throughout his life Bill Clinton was always a superb networker. Back in the d... |

Does Your Resume Showcase A Powerful Storyline? by Nimish Thakkar - Nov, 2010 Every day, we are bombarded with hundreds of advertisements, many with deceptively similar offerings and marketing messages. In an overcrowded marketplace, ultimately, the products or services that are most likely to cut through the clutter and win our business are the ones that deliver marketing pitches with a higher level of recall. The hiring manager’s dilemma can be likened to our own experience with television commerci... |

Why Am I Not Getting A Response From Employers? by Nimish Thakkar - Nov, 2010 I have sent out dozens of resumes -- why am I not getting a response from employers? As resume writers and career coaches, we hear such questions very frequently. While the economy can be a major determining factor, the truth is that job seekers can take affirmative steps to improve response rates. While many variables can impact the success of a job search campaign, four major factors merit consideration: background, resum... |
