MUST READS
This is a great time to read and review your resume and cover letter as if you were a hiring authority. Ask yourself the following questions:

  • Is your Career Summary rich with key words?
  • Does your resume and cover letter stress your accomplishments?
  • Could someone else use your resume, or is it unique to what YOU can bring to the table?
  • If you were an employer, would you want to arrange an interview to learn more about you?
More and more resumes are being screened out by automated systems. If you don’t want to be screened out by a computer or a Human Resource Assistant, take time to have your resume reviewed for free.

TIP FOR THE WEEK
You need to prepare for the question "what is your desired salary" before filling out an application or scheduling an interview. Often a hiring authority will hold you to the salary you listed when you filled out their application form whether in person or online. Whenever possible, put the word "negotiable" or "open" rather than listing a specific amount. If you do list an amount, make sure you research the salary range if you want to be considered for the position. Always put plus signs behind your current salary as well as desired salary. When you are asked about the plus signs, you explain that those represent your benefits, bonuses and incentives. When you are extended an offer you plan to review the entire package, not just the salary offered. This will allow you to negotiate more effectively when an offer is extended.
