Want to hire a professional to write your resume? Do you think it will get you better jobs if it looks "better" or more "professional"? Stop right there! Resumes need to be written in an easy to skim format, they should only include skills and work relevant to the job and should have up to date contact information. These are things you can do yourself! These professional writers will create resumes you love but these resumes will have the same effect as the last one. Now what can you do to catch the eye of the recruiter? 1. Tailor your resume to the job you are applying for. Resumes are not one size fit all. The need to be specific.

List your experience as a marketer and write a cover letter specific to that job role. How do you focus skills and define ...

Today, so many people are searching for jobs that will give them the opportunity to earn money. Most hold bachelor's degree or even hold Master's and yet they go for years unable to find jobs.

I had no help, this like other jobs I have gotten have been on merit alone. Today I want to reveal tips I use when applying for a job. For the Job at Standard Alliance, I was interviewed by HR and the Managing Director. So how did I ace the interview? What made me stand out? 1. My Appearance: I dressed to impress. Put on a suit and ensured I looked the part, you cannot go to an interview looking dirty or drenched in sweat. Look professional, look like you ALREADY work there. 2. My Resume: I kept off the irrelevant data and kept it simple and easy to skim. I have many years of work experience in manual labor, however it was not relevan...
