Three Steps to Help You Schedule More Interviews

Your main focus as a job seeker is to schedule interviews. If you want to land more interviews, it’s important that you differentiate yourself from other job seekers.
The following are THREE critical steps to help you differentiate yourself from your competition:

Step One: CUSTOMIZE
This applies to both your resume as well as job applications either online or printed copy. It is important that your resume and the answers you provide on their application form highlight your experience and skills to match their job requirements.

Step Two: BE CONTEMPORARY
You need to show that you are aware of current trends in your prospective profession and have knowledge of trends in the current Job Market. You need to have a basic understanding and usage of social media. Social Media is now a critical part of our culture and certainly a part of the culture of recruiters and hiring authorities. Set up a LinkedIn and Twitter account.
Twitter is a great feed for jobs. Check www.tweetmyjobs.com as an example. Once a week, send a tweet with a link to a good article or blog you have seen related either to your job search area of something you feel might be of interest to recruiters or hiring authorities in your profession.

Step Three: SHOW ENTHUSIASM AND ENERGY
Employers react to individuals who show a high level of enthusiasm and interest in working for them and their company. In your cover letter and resume you want to express a high level of intellectual, mental and emotional energy. This will help you BRAND yourself and stand out to recruiters or hiring authorities reviewing your credentials.

Implement these three steps and you will land more interviews which will lead to job offers.
