“Fair and Middling Talent” Only, Please by Jessica Lewis - Nov, 2009 One of the fun things about Twitter is I can see a tweet linking to an article, read the article and think, “Huh, that’s interesting. Maybe I should blog about it,” see another tweet a few hours later linking to an article, read that article and see that it is a response to the first article, and think, “Huh, that’s really interesting. Now I really need to blog about it.” And I have my blog topic for the day. The first arti... |

Put a P.S. in Your Cover Letter by Kevin Donlin - Nov, 2009 It’s the darndest thing. All successful job searches are marketing and sales campaigns. You have to find and qualify customers (employers) for your services. That’s the marketing. And you have to convince those customers to buy (hire) you. That’s the sales part. So why not adapt the best practices from the world of marketing and sales to your job search? Seems pretty logical, right? Apparently not. Because, i... |

Cover or Uncovered??? by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 I’m often asked how important a cover letter is when submitting a resume for a position, or if one is even necessary at all. My answer is: “It depends.” Who is receiving your resume? If it’s being sent to a recruiter, or you are applying to an online system, you can be virtually guaranteed that a cover letter would not be even looked at, much less read. The volume of resumes that go through a normal recruiting process makes... |

Why Your E-mail Address Could Be Keeping You From Your Dream Job by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Nov, 2009 As a hiring manager I have seen it all and by all I mean some pretty 'creative' e-mail addresses on resumes. For my friends out there that are clueless let me give you a hint; anything personal is not professional. Let me be specific - I once had a woman apply for a job and her e-mail address ON HER RESUME was Sexkitten69@ whatever her domain was, let me just tell you this is NOT a good email address and promptly landed her... |

A Cover Letter Is NOT Optional! by Debra Wheatman - Nov, 2009 What’s the value of writing a cover letter? Why do you need that if you are going to submit your résumé? Does that not tell the entire story? NO WAY. Simply sending a résumé is not enough. A cover letter IS important. No cover letter with your résumé is like leaving your house with a shirt and no pants. You wouldn’t do that, would you? Here are some valid reasons why a cover letter is a very important complement to your rés... |

Cover Letters Start Conversations by Cathy Alfandre - Sep, 2009 Remember when you were in high school or college, and there was someone across the room you really wanted to meet? Remember how you would do anything just to start a conversation so you could get to know each other? When the "someone" you really want to meet is a potential employer, keep that crowded party in mind as you write your cover letter!

Hey! You Gotta Problem? by Rob Taub - Sep, 2009 From blatant...“greatest weakness”; “weakest attribute”; “most significant failure”...to soft...“what might your previous employer say...?”...even softer...“you certainly seem to have a lot of strengths, but we understand no one is perfect...” The question will come one way or another, everyone knows it, yet still befuddled by it. There have been many Rules of Thumb developed over the years, from making light of the questio... |
