Resume: a written exaggeration of only the
good things a person has done in the past,
as well as a wish list of the qualities a
person would like to have.

The internet was supposed to make this
whole business of job searching rational
and simple. You could post your resume and
companies would search them and they'd
find you. It doesn't seem to work that way.
There aren't enough jobs for experienced,
college educated managers and
professionals.

My tips for job seekers will be listed one by one on this thread:
Do Your Research
Before you go in for your interview, be sure
to research the company you are applying
to. By having an in depth understanding of
the company as well as some background
information on whoever is interviewing you,
you will come across as prepared and
interested in the company.
Re: Five Things To Avoid On Your CV by Curtis10(m): 7:45pm On Mar 16, 2013
Practice Interviewing
Take time to practice interviewing before
you go in for an interview. Have a family
member or friend ask you the most
common interview questions so you can be
polished and know what you are going to
say ahead of time instead of winging it.
Re: Five Things To Avoid On Your CV by Curtis10(m): 9:47pm On Mar 16, 2013
Come Prepared With Questions
At the end of any job interview, the
interviewer will ask you if you have any
questions for them. Make sure you have a
few questions to ask the interviewer. This
can be anything from “what do you like best
about your job?” to “how would you
describe the work atmosphere here?” By
asking a few questions, you show interest
in the interviewer and the company.

When in Doubt, Dress Up
If you aren’t sure what kind of dress is
expected of employees, be sure to go more
formal than informal. By dressing up, you
show that you are professional and that you
are taking the interview process seriously.
Re: Five Things To Avoid On Your CV by Curtis10(m): 9:21am On Mar 17, 2013
Be Flexible
When applying for jobs, be flexible about
where you apply. Don’t limit yourself to just
one city or one company. Keep an open
mind about all potential opportunities.
Re: Five Things To Avoid On Your CV by Curtis10(m): 9:20pm On Mar 17, 2013
Keep Building Your Resume
While you apply for jobs, continue to build
your resume. Take on an internship,
volunteer, or take on a part time job. By
continuing to build your resume and
increase your skill set, you make yourself
more marketable to potential employers.
Re: Five Things To Avoid On Your CV by Curtis10(m): 6:38am On Mar 18, 2013
Figure Out Where You Are Going Wrong
If you aren’t landing any jobs, take a look at
where you are going wrong. If you aren’t
getting any interviews, go back over your
resume and spruce it up by getting more
experience or adding information to it. If
you are getting interviews but not jobs,
practice your interviewing skills so that you
can be more successful in your interviews
and potentially get job offers.

Utilize Your Network
Reach out to the people in your professional
network for their assistance in your job
hunt. Oftentimes when it comes to getting
hired, it’s not what you know but who you
know. So send along your resume and have
your contacts pass it along to anyone they
know at their HR department.
