Have you realized that you may be a bit overqualified at your current job? Here are some tips to help you through.
Ask for more responsibilities
There's nothing worse than feeling bored at work. Ask your manager or supervisor for additional duties or responsibilities. You may be surprised with what you are offered to take on! This could help you add some excitement into your days AND give you some resume-boosting experience.
Extend a helping hand to fellow coworkers
If you notice that a coworker is always frazzled and overwhelmed with too many tasks, see if you can help out. You may be able to work on new projects and even learn a new skill or two.
Network, network, network
Never underestimate the power of making connections. Networking with others - those inside your company, clients, friends of friends, etc. - can help you gain insights into other industries and positions that could help you down the line! You never know who you may meet, you could unwittingly make a career-changing connection!

When successfully searching for a job, there's a list of "do's" and "don'ts". Here are the top 3 things you should NEVER do when searching for a job.
Never use a 'one size fits all' resume
Don't use the same resume for every job you are applying for. Instead, customize it for each position by including relevant keywords from the job posting throughout. Customizing your resume will increase your chances of a phone call or an interview!
Never submit a resume/cover letter without proofreading
Always spellcheck! There's no better way to get overlooked by a hiring manager than to send in a resume or cover letter loaded with typos and grammatical errors.
Ask a friend or family member to read your resume — it’s easier for someone else to find errors since they haven’t been staring at the same document for days.
Never forget to follow up
After your interview, always follow up! Set aside a few minutes after your conversation to send a quick thank you email.
Sending a note thanking the interviewer for their time will show that you’re genuinely interested in the position and that you’re a true professional.
