Stay fresh and stay focused-jobs are coming!

Hi,

Good news continues along the job search front. Unemployment levels are starting to drop and the government is showing renewed interest in job creation. All good.

Just read these pointers to help you prep for a job search and thought they were worth sharing.

Best,

Paula


  1. Make sure your resume is current, proofread and has two or three powerful summary statements at the top of the first page.
  2. Know your 60-second elevator pitch and rehearse it so it becomes second nature.
  3. Reconnect with your support network. Meet with them and new contacts on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.
  4. Focus your search using websites that cater to the jobs you’re looking for and upload your resume to them. Employers increasingly search resume banks to find talent.
