Job Hunting Advice
The following is what I noted from our April PDM presenter-Bob Burnett from Burnett & Associates:
COMPANIES NOW USE SOFTWARE TO MATCH KEY WORDS FROM YOUR RESUME AND THEIR JOB DESCRIPTION/QUALIFICATIONS TO ELIMINATE THE MANY TO A FEW!!!
- Select key words and phrases from the posting in the Job Description and Requirements/Qualification section to detail on your resume.
-
Target your approach: Research the company. Know more about the company than the people interviewing you.
-
Objective Statement on your resume is still important to assist with keyword match.
-
Sell the benefits that you will bring to the seeking company. Use action verbs and quantify with your achieved results!
-
NETWORK..NETWORK...NETWORK!!!! 65%-80% of jobs are not published! Involve yourself with organizations and people that pertain to your career choice. Continually add contacts and obtain information to create a web of opportunity!
