Wouldn’t it just be so easy to call up a headhunter, otherwise known as a recruiter or executive search consultant, and give him or her your resume and say, “find me a job.” Well, generally it doesn’t work that way.
If You Don’t Prepare For An Interview You Won’t Get The Job
I have interviewed hundreds if not thousands of people. Most come to the interview dressed up a bit better than their normal hanging-out-at-home clothes. Many even come dressed in business attire. Even though most make at least some effort to look presentable, it is amazing how many do not make their mind presentable.
Why Network?
Many people feel that the way to success in a job search is playing a game of numbers. Submit as many applications as possible to companies and hope that one will do the trick. For some this may work. But for the vast majority of people, solely relying on this method will lead to a very long job search.
Resume Length: What Is The deal?
If you look on the internet, you will see a lot of conflicting advice about the length of your resume. Some will say keep it to one page. Others will say two is fine and yet others will say whatever it takes to record your work history. I am in the camp of no more than two pages, please!
