The house of God should be kept sacred no matter your intentions

Ladies, flee from every guy that would want to woo you during service, if he has no regard for God, then who the hell are you ?

Jobs/VacanciesTricks For Getting That Interview Invitation by LaurelP(op): 1:50pm On Nov 09, 2014
For those who have grown bears in the labour market, I just came across this article and thought I should share.

You know they say that "hard times call for hard measures" and someone equally said that "to keep doing the same thing and expect a different result is madness". So if you find that you've been submitting CV upon CV but no invitation, just read this and decide what to do.


THE ARTICLE

Ok, you’ve tried everything – You’ve perfected your resume using a free online resume builder or resume writing service. You’ve emailed your resume out and perhaps even used a resume distribution company, etc….. And no one is calling you back. It’s ok, you’re not alone. For every 100 resumes you mail out, statistically you should get 10 interviews and one job offer. However, these are rough averages. To stack the deck in your favor and stand out from the others, below are the top seven tricks we’ve found for getting your resume to stand out.


1.) Use a different color paper for mailing your resumes. Chances are, you’re using a cream, white, or gray paper color. Yes? So is everyone else. Be creative, and use a non-resume paper. Be original, and stand out. With that said, should you use hot pink? No, remember you’re applying for a professional career – but do choose something less common than white, cream, or gray.



2.) Use a different size paper for your resume. Why you ask? Have you ever shuffled a stack of papers. Do you ever have one/a few pieces of paper that your shuffling are a different size than the others. They stand out right? Of course they do, they stand out from the rest – it’s simple, but it does make your resume stand out.


3.) Inside contact – If you’re interested in a specific company, get an inside contact. This means proactively trying to meet someone from the company, or a friend of a friend situation. People hire people they know – its comfortable. Therefore, do whatever it takes to get an inside contact.



4.) Certified Letter – Have you ever sent a certified letter? All it requires is going to the post office, and paying a few dollars to send it certified with confirmation. This means that the recipient of the letter must sign for it. And I’ll bet that they’ll sign – they’re curious, and want to know what it is. By sending it certified to the hiring manager, you’re insuring that your letter has reached its destination – it has reached the hiring manager. This is a huge plus, as usually the hiring manager’s mail is filtered through a number of gate keepers.


5.) Send your resume with a gift. Yes, a gift. Head over to the local florist, pizza place, etc – get creative. Pick out a nice bouquet or lunch, and deliver it to the office with your resume. If you do the pizza, here’s a tip – put your resume in a zip lock bag and tape it to the inside of the box.


6.) Deliver the resume in person. What do you have to lose? Walk into the office and ask for the hiring manager (by name). Just say you need to discuss the current job opening with him. Sound crazy? It works – they will see you as being determined, proactive, and outgoing.


7.) The post-it note trick. In larger companies (and sometimes in medium/smaller companies) a secretary or an office assistant will open the resumes for the employees. This person is responsible for screening for junk mail and to weed out non-qualified candidates. Therefore, here is the trick. Take a regular Post-it note, and write something like “This one looks good! – J”, and attach it to your resume. Who is “J”? Who cares! The point is that the hiring manager will get a resume with a Post-it note on it, stating that it’s good. Therefore, they are more likely to pay close attention to the resume at the direction of another employee. By the time the person realizes its not a note from their mail screener, you’ve already gotten your resume reviewed – is it deceptive? – no, its effective and innovative advertising.

Why on earth did this thread take so long to make FP? If its a useless post now, it will be there in minutes.

Seun and his mods pls everything is not all abt money. I've been saying it dat Seun is not trying in terms of helping people or transferring knowledge. This is so annoying, how many day and dis post did not make Fp and its a life and death issue. Even if it was not confirmed, it shud be on Fp with a caveat dat we are still working on it.


Pls ppl shud learn to have d insterest of odas @ heart. I'm not happy at all
