JOB TIPS
How to Avoid
Unforced Errors in Your Job Search
-- Reprinted from: net-temps.com
Are you secretly sabotaging your hunt for a new job? You may be if you’re making any of the 5 mistakes I'll share with you. The following blunders are all taken from real-life job searches gone bad. Avoid them and get hired faster!
Unforced Error #1: Misspellings and Grammatical Gaffes
It may sound like a broken record, but for the record, here it is again: errors in spelling and punctuation can kill your job search faster than Raid on a cockroach.
Here are two recent examples from my email in-box:
A cover letter with the year wrong (employers will think: Did you miss that day in first grade when they taught dates?)
A resume with the heading, "Professional Skills" misspelled as, "Professional Shills" (thus creating an unintentionally hilarious statement that torpedoed the document).
The solution is simple.
Have not one but two trusted friends read your resumes and cover letters. Tell them to pay close attention to your name, phone number, address and the headings in your documents -- most mistakes happen there.
Unforced Error #2: The Answering Machine From Hell
I got an email 10 days ago from a man, distraught because he'd been looking for a management job for over a year. So I called him to give encouragement.
This was the greeting on his answering machine: "Howdy! We’re out chasing the horses around probably, but we'll be sure to call you back after we kick the mud off our shoes. Yessiree. Buh-bye!"
Would you offer a management job to the creator of that comic masterpiece? Me neither.
So, what does your voicemail say about you? Is it professional and courteous, or a rambling mess, with barking dogs and music in the background? Either way, it may be the first impression employers get when they call you.
Don't kid around.
Unforced Error #3: No Answering Machine At All
Almost as bad as a silly greeting is no answering machine at all. Because most employers will call you between 9 and 5. If you’re not home and they can't leave a message, they'll call someone else.
Solution: if you don't have an answering machine, spend the 20 bucks and get one today.
And if you use a dial-up modem to surf the Internet, call your phone company and get voicemail service that prevents callers from getting a busy signal. That way, if someone in your home is on the Internet for an hour or two, employers can still get through and leave you a message.
Unforced Error #4: An Immature Email Address
Every week, I get at least one email from someone with an address like cooldaddy1969@hotmail.com or hire-me-please@yahoo.com
Again, why kid around with your career? Get a professional-looking email handle and use it for all job search correspondence.
Unforced Error #5: Unresolved Anger
This is perhaps the most insidious form of self-sabotage, requiring the most effort to correct.
I've counseled at least two people this year who, despite a bang-up resume and stellar qualifications, keep failing at interviews.
In each case, these job hunters had been laid off under bad circumstances - they felt wronged and angry as a result. Problem: that anger came through loud and clear each time they were asked why they left their last employer. And their interviews went downhill from there.
Are you harboring feelings of ill will toward your last boss? If so, it may be causing you to interview poorly. Solutions? You could consult a career coach, pour out your feelings to a trusted friend or counselor, or even write a letter to that manager you’re mad at -- then burn the letter.
By avoiding these 5 job-hunting blunders, you can prevent the sort of "unforced errors" that prolong your search unnecessarily.

RESUME TIPS
4
Resume Tips From Career Pros
-- Reprinted from: net-temps.com
What if you could talk to four hiring professionals and ask them what they REALLY wanted to see in your resume?
Do you think that might give you an advantage in your job search?
I spoke to recruiters and career experts from across America and convinced them to share their best advice with you.
So, without further ado, here are four tips from career experts to help you write a better resume – and get hired!
In this job market, too many candidates are chasing too few openings. That means you must differentiate yourself. And a great way to do that is to customize every resume, to clearly target the positions you apply for.
"I advise all candidates to send out no generic resumes. Make sure you include keywords from the job postings online or from the newspaper – this can grab employers' attention and keep them reading," says Felix Lin, a recruiting professional at Los Angeles-based Marclin Group (www.marclingroup.com).
So carefully match your resume to job postings, to make sure your resume hits all the hot buttons in every ad you respond to.
In addition, research target companies using www.google.com, www.hoovers.com and your network of contacts. The more you know, the better you can tailor your resume to appeal to hiring managers.
"You want to know what kind of management style will be a good fit at your target employer. If you have contacts there, find out what happened to the person you'll be hired to replace. Were they fired, promoted, what? Use any advantage you can get – you have to research companies like there’s no tomorrow," says Lin.
Showcase your achievements
When writing your resume, shoot off your big guns early. Because if you start off slow, employers may never finish reading.
"Top career accomplishments and awards should be at the top of page one for impact, not buried on page two," says Ron McManmon, a former recruiter and currently Executive VP of Bend, Oregon-based Careeradex, Inc. (www.careeradex.com).
For best results, mention at least 2-3 of your top achievements within the top third of page one -- this is the most valuable real estate in your resume.
You can include your achievements in a Profile or Qualifications Summary section, with 4 or 5 bulleted paragraphs, each one or two lines long. Bullets make for easy reading and allow you to make your best points quickly.
Break up long text
"Avoid paragraph forms that are text heavy and hard on the eyes. Bullet points definitely make for easier reading," says Rick Fox, Branch Manager at Edina, Minn.-based Princeton Search (www.mrimpls.com).
My own rule of thumb is to break all paragraphs longer than three lines into two or more shorter, bulleted sections.
Here's just one "before" and "after" example from a recent resume that crossed my desk, with grammar and punctuation improved as well.
BEFORE
Administrator of a 40-node local area network utilizing Windows NT primary domain model, integrated with a Novell Netware server for GroupWise E-mail access. Windows NT Server 4.0 provided DHCP-TCP/IP services for the intranet, as well as account validation, and management of shared resources. Windows NT Workstation 4.0 provided access to the domain.
AFTER
* Administered 40-node LAN running Windows NT primary domain, integrated with a Novell Netware server for GroupWise E-mail access.
* Managed Windows NT Server 4.0 (DHCP-TCP/IP for intranet, account validation, and shared resource management) and Windows NT Workstation 4.0 (domain access).
Stay within two pages
"The initial review of a resume is very brief -- as little as 13 seconds. We look for several items, including companies worked for, job titles and timeline. These should all be prominently displayed," says Doug Binning, President of Minneapolis-based Upstart Solutions (www.upstartsolutions.com).
A good rule of thumb is to limit your resume to two pages at most. "The attention span of resume reviewers is notoriously short," adds Binning.
Anything that doesn't make the cut can be used to create supplemental documents, listing your projects and prior experience in detail.
Bring these supplements to the job interview, where you can use them to expand on your resume.
Best of luck to you!
