Why finding a recruiter won't automatically end your job search by Laura Smith-Proulx - Sep, 2010 I was recently asked by a prospective client if I "knew" any recruiters.

How to Get Inside the Mind of an Employer by Kevin Donlin - Sep, 2010 There's an old marketing maxim I live by when advising job seekers. It dates back to the 1930s and comes from Robert Collier, one of the best writers of sales letters who ever lived. It goes like this: To create successful advertising, the writer must enter the conversation already going on in mind of the reader. Because everybody is thinking about something. If you can tap into a person’s thoughts with your mess... |

Tips for Writing a Persuasive Cover Letter by Nimish Thakkar - Sep, 2010 Much has been said about creating a perfect resume, but job seekers pay very little attention to the document that precedes it: the cover letter. A well-crafted cover letter can not only deliver a solid first impression, it can actually influence the hiring manager even before the resume is reviewed. In my professional practice, I often come across cover letters that resemble cookie-cutter templates. Generic letters can be... |

Regardless of whether you hire a professional or write your own resume, it is useful to have a plain text version on hand during your job application process.

Resumes for Every Generation by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Sep, 2010 This past week I attended a presentation about Baby Boomers, Generation X-ers, and Millennials learning to communicate and work well together in the professional world. The speaker provided great tips for understanding each generation and how to effectively use their strengths to the best advantage. While the presentation focused on helping everyone work well together, I couldn’t help but think about the ramifications of wha... |

Subtle Ways to Tell Your Story in Your Resume by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Sep, 2010 A frequent theme of our blogs is limiting your resume to information that’s truly relevant to the position for which you’re applying. You should feel free to leave off your high school job serving fast food or your college job working retail if you have years of subsequent work experience. Also, listing only the achievements from your previous jobs can actually omit an important component of your career: your personal story.... |
