Personal Approach
Recruiters
go through hundreds and thousands of resumes so having a personal
approach to your job search practices can help you stand out among
the other candidates.
Do
your research
Find out about the
employer. Visit their website and see what their corporate philosophy
or mission statement is. Request a copy of a flyer or brochure they
give out and you can get an idea of the image they are trying to
market themselves as. Don't
be afraid to call or email the recruiter if you have questions ahead
of time.
Follow-up
After an interview,
send a thank-you note to anyone involved in your interview. Thank
them for taking time to interview you and let them know how you
look forward to answering any additional questions they may have
and hearing from them. It's best to send a thank-you note as soon
as the interview is over. More than likely, they will make a decision
within a few days so sending a card in the mail when you get home
or the day after the interview will ensure they get the note before
making a hiring decision.

You want to look
good! Have clean and trimmed fingernails, avoid gum or candy in
your mouth, wear clean shoes and empty your pockets of loose change
and any tinkling objects. |
