Resume and Job Search Tips

Avoid Nice-Sounding, But Empty, Resume Keywords

…avoid filling your resume with vague claims that hiring managers can easily see through or that may simply bore them. Scott Bennett, author of The Elements of Resume Style, suggests that resume writers use concrete examples of their skills and accomplishments to life on the page (or electronic resume).
For example, instead of saying “excellent organizational and time management skills”, you could say “supervised 35 major projects a year and completed half ahead of schedule and half on time.” The extra descriptive information paints a picture of an effective employee. In addition to the aforementioned words, CareerBuilder.com advises job hunters to avoid using the following words on resumes if possible:

Aggressive Innovative
Ambitious Knowledgeable
Competent Logical
Creative Motivated
Detail-oriented Meticulous
Determined People person
Efficient Professional
Experienced Reliable
Flexible Resourceful
Goal-oriented Self-motivated
Hard-working Successful

10 Key Job Strategies

1. Get out of your comfort zone. Identify your transferrable skills and match them to promising jobs in other industries.
2. Stay flexible. Be open to at least considering any employment option- even if the job duties, salary, or benefits are not what you are looking for. This will help you get your foot in the door at a good company and possibly even find a job that you like even more than the one you envisioned.
3. Keep Networking. Tell everyone you know that you’re searching for a job. Use social networking sites such as LinkedIn and word of mouth.
4. Customize your resume. Don’t send out the same resume to every employer; match your skills and experiences with what the company is seeking in an employee.
5. Reduce gaps in work history. Try to stay busy during your time between jobs or after graduation. Consider temping, an internship, a part-time job, or even taking classes to improve your skills. This will show hiring managers that you were motivated during your time of unemployment.
6. Manage your electronic reputation. Don’t think your “private” life on the internet is safe from employers; a growing number are conducting background checks of potential employees on the internet.
7. Improve your marketability. Determine what skills are in-demand in your industry, and work to develop them. Take this time to improve your soft skills, as well as assess the appropriateness of your appearance and interview outfits.
8. Search for jobs before they’re advertised. Scan newspapers and trade journals to find companies that are hiring or expanding.
9. Search far and wide. Use every resource possible to find a job-ranging from general job boards and friends and family to trade associations and employment websites.
10. Meet with a recruiter. They may have comprehensive knowledge of job opportunities and trends in your industry, and may be able to help you hone your interviewing skills and improve your cover letter and resume.
