Resume-Library’s Post

Best advice if you’re job hunting... 🥁🥁 (less than 10% do it, but yet extremely effective): Pick the phone and call ! You'll test the waters straight away: 💫 Can recognise if the recruiter/HR has even checked the CV 💫 Can come up with engaging questions that earn you some ‘extra points’ 💫 Will take your anxiety away Is it scary? Hell Yeahhh, but only at the beginning and it’s way more efficient that txt/emails Believe me, nobody is gonna come and punch you in the face for unexpected calls Any interesting story? Hit me up, be keen to hear them #recruitment #recruitmentprocess #hiring #recruitmenttips 

#JOBSEEKERS: OUR job is to GET a job, and not to imagine that there are others out there who are more deserving than we are, or by only applying to (the non-*OFCCP-compliant) roles where we are ABSOLUTELY SURE we meet ALL of the requirements. Even if we match 100% of the requirements and objective ARE the best candidate for the job, there is no guarantee that YOU or I will get it or even be invited for an interview. If a company decides to POST a position that they aren't legally required to, and they expect and get a flood of applicants- THAT'S ON THEM. If a company decides to lay off most of its TA staff so that the remainder have to go through a flood of applicants-THAT'S ON THEM. If a company decides to NOT USE a very affordable and effective resume reviewing and ranking tool and/or up-front "knockout questions" to HELP ITS RECRUITERS- THAT'S ON THEM. "When in doubt: SEND IT OUT." Resources for your job searches are here: https://lnkd.in/gVZeHNb You can also directly reach out to the hiring manager(s) that you identify on LI or elsewhere and find their email with a tool like RocketReach (ex: https://lnkd.in/gTX6pFBb) or Email Permutator (https://lnkd.in/gUXFbseh)  Then, send your resume with a short blurb why you're right for the role.  Last year I did a variation on this and got two contracts from it. * https://lnkd.in/gsA6z_X9 A list of Federal contractors which includes the OFFC-compliant firms, courtesy of Kristen Fife. #JOBSEARCH #JOBSEARCHING #JOBSEARCHTIPS

Top tip for job hunters, always make sure your Interests section doesn't contain something you've done once or twice. I mentioned running because I did it during covid lockdowns and forgot to remove it and recruiters who run tend to be obsessive about running and it doesn't help when you blurt out that you cannot stand running. #running #CV #recruitment #jobhunting

In the era of modern job hunting, your resume needs to be more than a list of past jobs. A modern resume highlights skills with specific examples, showcases achievements with quantifiable results, and integrates keywords tailored to the job description. Incorporating a personal branding statement can also set the stage for your career narrative. Keep it sleek, professional, and infused with your unique value proposition. #ModernResume #JobSearch2024 #PersonalBranding

The content emphasizes that job hunting on LinkedIn is more than just a resume submission. It encourages users to view their profiles as a narrative, urging them to craft it authentically. The underlying message is that genuine self-expression can attract the right opportunities. #recruitment #resumesearch #resumebuilder #resumebuilding #resumetips #resumemakeover #authenticitymatters #culture

Boosting your online presence is key, so focus on making your profiles stand out across platforms. Use your location strategically when job hunting to increase your chances. Stay engaged on job websites, as companies often prefer active profiles. Tailor your resume for each job by customizing it to fit the specific requirements. Think ahead and strategically align your profile with job criteria for a smart approach. #careergrowth #advancements Umesh Yadav

#JOBSEEKERS: I frequently see posts where there are complaints about how many people apply to particular positions, and urging us to restrict our applications. While we SHOULDN'T apply to positions which we are CLEARLY UNQUALIFIED for, OUR job is to GET a job, and not to imagine that there are others out there who are more deserving than we are, or by only applying to (the non-OFCCP- compliant) roles where we are ABSOLUTELY SURE we meet ALL of the requirements. Even if we match 100% of the requirements and objectively ARE the best candidate for the job, there is no guarantee that YOU or I will get it or even be invited for an interview. * If a company decides to POST a position that they aren't legally required to, and they expect and get a flood of applicants- THAT'S ON THEM. * If a company decides to lay off most of its TA staff so that the remainder have to go through a flood of applicants- THAT'S ON THEM. * If a company decides to NOT USE a very affordable and effective resume reviewing and ranking tool to HELP ITS RECRUITERS- THAT'S ON THEM.
