Jobseekers! Standout from the crowd and get that job!
You have applied to a lot of positions but you are not getting any responses from employers. Are you doing everything you can to stand out in every way you can? When that employer receives your resume, does it go to the top of the pile or get canned? Here are some tips to stand out as a candidate, no matter what level of job you are applying to:
1. Make sure your background matches the job description. One size doesnt fit all. Your resume should change if your strengths to the job description are not clear and stand out. Make sure your objective fits the job as well. (Objective: Continue Career as a Chef)
2. Email Address. Make sure your email address is professional. Depending on who is looking at your resume, they might not think your email address is cute.
3. Phone Number Message: Just like the email address, change your phone greeting to a very professional message. If an employer calls, call them back ASAP.
4. MySpace and Facebook: Use these accounts to HELP your employment status. You have heard all the bad things that happen when employers reference these accounts, but you can make your profiles very professional. Most people dont have to change a thing. If you are concerned, make your profiles private.
5. Include references and awards. Including these with your resume will help you stand out from others that are applying for the same positions. The best references are from your managers at previous employers. Do not ever use personal references.
6. Follow Up. Even if you just can leave a message, let the manager or human resource professional a voice mail letting them know you have a interest in the position. Be positive and enthusiastic in this message.
7. Dont apply multiple times to the same company. You will look desperate. If a company has more than one job opening, apply to the one you are most qualified.
Once the company contacts you, let them know you would have an interest in other jobs you saw as well.If your background truly fits the job, you should be able to stand out by following these tips. Most importantly, just remember that your first contact with a company is usually through your resume. However, social media like Facebook allow employers to bring your resume to life with never having to meet you. A good resume and social media presence may be your ticket to your next great job.

Tax Day- What does it tell you about your Career?
What do tax day and your Career have in common?
Today is the final day to file your taxes for 2008. Once you or your accountant finishes your return, you sign it and it officially puts 2008 in the record books. It also gives you a snap shot of what you earned and how much of that money you actually took home. If you are like most Americans, especially in this economic time, this year’s tax form or “career financial report card” may tell more of a story then how much money you made.
So what can your tax return tell you about your career?
1. Did you get paid enough for what you do? Are people at other companies that do the same thing you are doing making more money? (You can find this out at Salary.com)
2. Did you increase your income from 2007?
3. No matter what you made, did you like your job?
4. Does your current job have a future?
5. Is your line of work going to be around in 5 years or will you be replaced by newer technology or products? (Remember raters in the insurance industry?)
No matter how you answered your questions, it is time to evaluate your career. Like the old saying goes, if you do the same thing every year, you will get the same results every time. Careers are no different. The challenge in this economy is to evaluate your current job and make some changes.
You spent hours doing your taxes. Here are some tax day tips that will help your career!
1. Use your tax refund to have your resume written professionally. I am always surprised that many of the resumes I come across are poorly written. In today’s economic market place, employers have choices and if your resume doesn’t “fit” the position, you may not even get consideration
2. Career Coaching. Wouldn’t it be great to meet live with an expert in getting jobs and giving career advice? NBA players have agents, why shouldn’t you for your career? Career coaches can help you with identifying your strengths, career paths, live interview skills and many other things that will give you a major advantage in any career situation. (Visit Yocomo.com)
3. Develop additional skills by taking classes at local colleges. For example, get into the healthcare industry. Many schools and colleges will train you in very specific skills that immediately will increase your income. How about a physical therapist assistant? Use your tax refund to get started!
4. E-Learning. Computer skills today are a major requirement in almost any job. If you are at a company that uses a specific type of computer program (like advanced Excel) and you don’t understand it, master it with a online learning course. Your employer will be impressed! (Visit Yocomo.com)
What does your tax form say about your current career and where you are going? Use your tax refund to kick start your career. It is the best investment you can make and career services are tax deductible!

Interviews are hard to get. Whatever you do, don’t blow the interview!
Even though companies are not hiring as many people as they did a year ago, they still are hiring. Today’s employment market is demanding that if you interview, you MUST stand out from the crowd. To do this, follow these interview tips for a tight job market, and you will separate yourself from your competition.
1. Do not be negative about anything. This includes your current or former employer, the economy or the traffic driving to the interview. It is very easy to sound negative especially if you can’t stand your current job or you have been out of work for awhile. It is easy getting caught up in your own personal situation. This is a sure fire way to eliminate yourself from consideration.
2. Know how you will add value to the job you are interviewing for directly. Before the interview, make sure you know exactly what the job is and the responsibilities of that job. Employers today are looking for exact job matches. Have great examples of your skills that are needed by using examples from previous employers. If you are selling insurance, make sure to mention that before you leave the interview so they know your selling style and actual success.
3. Research the company AND the people who are going to interview. Just like companies go to your facebook or LinkedIn to check you out, you can do the same to them with great results. What if the person who is interviewing went to the same college? If you knew this before the interview, sharing that information at the right time during the interview will score points. It is also great to know what types of jobs those interviewing you had before they got their current job.
4. Ask for the Job! If your interview goes well and you think it is a great fit for your career, ask for the job BEFORE you leave. Too many times, the interviewer has no idea how you feel about the job you just discussed. “I really am impressed with the position we discussed today and could see this job being a great career move for me. I am very interested in this job”.
5. Do all the normal things WITHOUT fail! Tips one through four are the most important. However, they will not mean anything if you don’t do all the other things well. These include not being late, dressing poorly, using poor grammar, not showing enthusiasm and interrupting the interviewer.
Companies are looking for the best and the brightest. You have to have a great interview and following these tips will help. Finally, make sure you send a hand written thank you note to the company immediately after your interview. (Remember the United States Post Office?)
