Stand out during a job search!
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Here are five simple ways to make a splash when embarking on your job search:
1) Be sure your resume has a nice layout, is void of grammatical errors and demonstrates how you have experience different from others with the same background in your industry.
2) Find out the name of the hiring manager for the position you are seeking and use it in the cover letter. Never use “To Whom it May Concern.”
3) Personalize your resume and make your resume (honestly) a perfect match for the position’s job description.
4) Before the interview, research the company so that you are not caught off guard during the interview process.
5) Always do these things to engage the interviewer: a) interview with confidence, b) ask intelligent questions towards the end of the interview demonstrating your knowledge of the industry, current challenges and how your experience can positively contribute to the company’s success.
And lastly, send a thank you note and follow up as discussed in the interview!
