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.
