Job Search on the bad job market – pointers?
I'm in Michigan – one of the worst unemployment rates in the country - tips to help me stand out and get to the interview? 15 + years in the admin. experience, polite and professional. Unfortunately, the game seems to have changed since the last time I looked for a job 8 years ago. I tried deleting myself when the company I worked for closed, but in vain. Are the engines job search useful? I signed up with almost all (Monster, etc.) but certainly difficult to follow when the company is just now. Ugh!
I just left a recruiting station and here are some recommendations for you. A) First, make sure your objective on the resume, you list a specific location you are looking for. Nearly 90% are unemployed the objective, and in the process, a recruiter will usually around your resume. B) Whatever the policy your resume, if it does to the demands of the job, you will be ignored for a better match. So every time you apply, look at the summary to make sure you adapt to respond to the position. Yes, it takes more time, but in the process, you are more likely to get a job interview. C) Always friendly and professional If you are in a position where a contact. d) Never ever ever go to the recruiter and tell them you need to be hired because you need a job. The general sympathy ploy will backfire cons. Employers to hire someone because they are more qualified or who have a good attitude. E) When you appear in person, attire, make a resume and references. Be flexible and very courteous. Body language and attitude will make or break your chances. More than one applicant loses a job because they were sitting there and complaining about something they had to do. F) Focus on what you can do rather than what is in your past. Be prepared to explain the discrepancies, but remain positive. Negativity kill your chances of employment. G) networking is the key. Keep positive and stay motivated. You never know when you contact someone at the grocery store church, school, etc. may know of someone looking for someone to hire. H) It's hard to swallow, but you'll probably take a hit on income. Business are cutting back on labor costs, so if you expect the same income, they can choose another candidate. Your goal is to find a position suitable.
