Ignore the person's current position - get the best person suited for the job. Keep your plans in mind so they serve your designs, not their own. Hire large personalities - independent thinkers.

Sweet Job Tips: Resume Accomplishments

For this week's Job Search Tips I would like to discuss your resume and the art of  "accomplishments".

I’d like to share with you some additional guidelines to keep in mind when playing up your accomplishments:

1. If possible, use present/active tense, not passive tense. The result will be that you accomplishments sound stronger.
2. Use adjectives and adverbs as little as possible.
3. When using nouns, make sure they are as specific and descriptive as possible.
4. Always pick the larger but still believable number. For example, if you have a choice between $5,000 and 25%, use 25%.
5. This is so important that it bears emphasis: USE NUMBERS, actual numbers, $ signs, and % signs. The human eye is visually drawn, by instinct, into that area of the paper. Quantify your accomplishments whenever possible.
6. Proofread all your verbs and nouns for agreement, tense, and correct usage.

More people land jobs between November - April every year. Keep working at it.

Sweet Job Tips: Job Search Tips: LinkedIn Tips

Today I want to share some ideas on networking this week.

I want to share with you some ideas that you may not have tried to use with LinkedIn for networking. This is a section from my new book, (page 133-34)

6 Tips on How to Use LinkedIn for Job Search Networking

1. You can use LinkedIn's search tools to find executives who

are in your target companies. In the search bar, choose the

"Companies" option and enter the name of the company

you're interested in contacting. Under the industry section,

pick "Any Industry" or the specific one you prefer. You

will then be presented with a list of LinkedIn members

who work for that company.

2. Go to the "Companies" tab and try this technique. Select

"Browse All Industries" and select your industry. Look

at every profile that interests you. When you have the

profiles open, look at which "Groups and Associations"

they have listed. This is another area to look for in your

networking endeavors. If it makes sense, join the same group.

3. Consider joining Toplinked at www.toplinked.com. You

should be able to link to its members. This group is made

up of "open networkers" in LinkedIn who should be fairly

amenable to accepting your invitation.

4. Make sure you are working on getting LinkedIn recommendations

from your past supervisors, customers, peers,

etc.

5. Don't forget to look at the "Applications" link on your

LinkedIn home page. Check out which applications you

would like to add to your account.

6. Consider adding the "Polls" function, which allows you

to send a poll about your job search to your list. You will

need to have 150 contacts in order to be able to use this

product, but you will be able to reach everyone faster than

by emailing or phoning them.

There are various products out there that will coordinate

and connect all your Social Networking sites for you. Linking

them all together will save you time. That's because everything

will be updated at the same time. Not only is it a competitive

market out there, but it's also constantly changing technologically.

That being the case, anything you can do to simplify the

process is beneficial.

A additional job search networking idea is to check out www.networkingforprofessionals.com

The market continues to slowly turn.

Hang in there. I believe in you!
