While with an HR some months ago, a lady came to submit ha cv and afta going tru it, he observed ha age wasnt disclosed on d cv, wch made him to ......this paragraph is a summary of da whole article: "Today, when you apply for a job, you know what that job is. The hiring manager knows this too, and so they know what you’re looking for in a job. They want to know what makes you a good fit for the job, not what makes the job a good fit for you." |

Curtis10: When I said God.. I didn't cancel qualification or experience bro. I meant, no matter how one dresses his or her curriculum, such person would still need God to succeed. Like I said, my opinion. |

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.” |

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: 5 Things You Should Remove From Your resume by Curtis10(m): 7:49pm 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: 5 Things You Should Remove From Your resume by Curtis10(m): 9:44pm 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: 5 Things You Should Remove From Your resume by Curtis10(m): 9:20am 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: 5 Things You Should Remove From Your resume by Curtis10(m): 9:21pm 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. |

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. 1 Like |

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. |
