Job Search Tips
- When posting a resume on the web, avoid including your full address. It can so easily be MapQuested right to your front door!
- Have an email that is professional. Save SlinkySam and 2HotMom for something other that your job search.
- Be available and reachable. Many times the recruiter will just move on and find someone else when faced with voicemail. We maintain that more often than not, it is the first qualified person contacted that gets the job.
- Professional dress is still a good idea, even if you are interviewing with a more casual company. We recommend a jacket and tie for gentlemen; a jacket with skirt or slacks for women. Your clothing is your packaging!
- Call your recruiter immediately following an interview. It is essential that you let him/her know how you felt about the interview. If you stumbled, the recruiter can offer an explanation to the client. If it went well, it is important that the recruiter be able to relay your enthusiasm to the client. It is after the interview that the experience of a good recruiter becomes valuable. Many times, a good recruiter can ‘close the deal’ on the very day of the interview.
