Job Searching Tips and Resume Advice from Feather Communications

Job Searching Tips and Resume Advice from Feather Communications A large part of my business is working with people to create new resumes and cover letters for their respective job searches. Earlier this month, I appeared on WQOW-TV18 Daybreak and offered several tips to those looking to find new employment opportunities. One major tip for those seeking job opportunities includes updating your resume on a continual basis. Reviewing this document several times per year gives you the opportunity to add new skills, change job titles if necessary, and update your educational background. It is much easier to update as-you-go, rather than saving all updates for one time every two to three years. And, continual updating helps employees remember things that may otherwise be forgotten. An important part of the job search process is ensuring that the potential employee can follow directions. Be sure to follow the directions of the employment advertisement. If the newspaper advertisement or the online job opportunity asks for a list of references, then be sure to include that with your application package. If the advertisement states “no phone calls,” then do not call the potential employer. Simply following the directions can ensure your resume is still considered for the job opening. Watch the short video clip (click below) from the WQOW-TV18 Daybreak show. Utilizing these vital tips and advice can help job seekers ensure they are on the right pathway to employment success.
