Good morning fellow job-searchers! Found this tip in an article...what do you guys think??
The most successful job seekers customize their materials for each position they’re interested in.
When you take the time to customize your resume and cover letter using keywords and specific responsibilities from the job listing, you’re decreasing the chances your resume will be weeded out by computerized resume review systems. More importantly, you’re taking steps to communicate what you can offer a company instead of just telling them what you’re good at -- a skill 28 percent of job seekers cited as the No. 1 success factor in landing a job. http://bit.ly/1GlS1Pd
I agree with the targeting opportunities habit for a more effective job search. Streamlining my skills to match job responsibilities should definitely move me up to the front of the line.
i like that last part. gotta convince a company u can solve their problems. otherwise why should they hire u
I think that's a great idea! I also love the tip about stepping outside digital communication. We doing everything online these days, but it is really helpful to talk to others face to face. You stand out when you get out there and meet people!
