Article: 4 To-Dos to Treat Your Job Search as a Business

Your Job Search as a Business: 4 To-Dos

by Vault Careers
<http://blogs.vault.com/contributors-network/vault-careers/>
Published: Thursday, March 29, 2012

You've probably heard that you should treat a job hunt like a job. But
without the accountability that comes with a paycheck (and a scary boss),
you might let a few important details slide.

Don't! Imagine you're an entrepreneur fishing for clients. You'd be
mortified to reach out to the same contact twice, right? You'd also never
leave money on the table by not following up with someone interested in your
company-it's just bad business.

Treat your product (yourself) with the same seriousness.

See what they are here:

Your resume is your best foot forward within a company. It's a hiring
manager's first exposure to who you are as an employee - and if it is laden
with grammatical errors - your lack of attention to detail will translate to
your prospective employer as carelessness and lack of professionalism.

With the piles of resumes sent to hiring managers on a daily basis, whether
you are a business degree graduate or an experienced professional, here are
some of the most common grammatical errors found in resumes - and tips to
avoid them:

Hiring Manager Explains Why Your Cover Letter Failed

by Vault Careers
<http://blogs.vault.com/contributors-network/vault-careers/>
Published: Tuesday, March 27, 2012

It's really frustrating applying to jobs on the internet. You spend a lot of
time poring over your cover letter, reworking your resume, Googling the
right person to address your application to (and making sure you've got
their name right), and then waiting days, weeks, and even months for a
response that often never comes.

That's why we have really mixed feelings about the 3,000-word "advice" email
that one company sent its 900+ rejected job applicants.

Openly acknowledging that they've already picked the 50 or so candidates who
made the second round of the hiring process, the company nonetheless sent a
long letter of "helpful" tips to everyone who applied.

See how easy it is to fail here:

Article: Using Age to Your Advantage (Net-Temps)

Posted by: "Eric Nilsson" ericnilsson@earthlink.net   norsemantechnology

Wed Apr 4, 2012 7:06 pm (PDT)



Using Age to Your Advantage

Do you think you're having difficulties finding a job because of your age,
that employers-and maybe even you-think you're "over the hill?"

What particular age-related challenges do you think you face as a job
seeker? Do you find yourself saying things such as "I haven't gotten a job
yet; I know it's because of my age." "I guess I can't keep up the pace
anymore." "I'm too old to go back to school." Do you project those beliefs
about yourself onto other people when you meet them? These attitudes are
clearly visible to prospective employers; according to one study, nonverbal
behavior, such as body language, accounts for 93% of communication.
