| 1) | Post your Resume on the
Major Job Boards.
Its critical to refresh or re-post your resume, we recommend every
two-weeks. As your resume ages, recruiters and hiring
managers will stop paying to see it. You may also want to
consider creating multiple profiles with resumes tailored to
different positions or industries that you are seeking.
This will increase the odds that you come up in a paid resume
search. |
|
| 2) | Find and Partner with a
Sales Recruiter. These folks not only have access
to the jobs you are seeking, but they get paid (by the employer)
when you get hired. So they are motivated to see you
succeed. LocalDog recommends interviewing several
recruiters and partnering with a select few that fit you the best. |
|
| 3) | Find and
contact key decision makers at your target companies.
Presidents, CEO's, EVP's of HR, and especially VP's and
Directors of Sales want to find and hire the best people.
If your resume looks good and ends up on their desk, or even
just at the desk of their admin - its more likely to be
forwarded to a hiring manager than it is to be put in the round
file (trashcan). |
|
| 4) | Leverage your personal
network. Make a list of individuals you know who can
either directly assist your job search or know of someone who
can. Make sure they: -know you are "on the market" -have a copy of your resume -know what type of position or company you are looking for |
|
| 5) | Use experts to address areas
of weakness. If your resume is not working and you are not getting access to the quantity of opportunities you should be, spend a few bucks and hire a professional. A small investment that results in securing a better job faster is smart money. -resume help -resume blast |
