| buddy...
you need some help? |
getting
a killing résumé:
|
| ...
in today's tight job market, one vacancy often will have more
than 50 applications. if you have the same old boring resume,
chances are that your resume will be in someone's trash bin.
either the personnel department, or if you get lucky, the
supervisor's trash bin. |
| ... |
| so, how can you
compete with the other 49 applicants? your resume MUST
pop-out from the other 49s. |
|
| use
color printing! color attracts people! imagine there are a pile
of resume in front of you, which one will you pick first?
of course, the color
one! |
|
| in
my resume to be a graphic assistant, i created my resume in a cd-case
with full color printing, gone too far? NO! hey, i got the job
:-) |
|
 |
| you
need a cover letter too!
... well, everyone
is cheating here. why write your own letter, while there are lots of
goodies off the net! yes, just get it from the net! get the one that
grabs people attention! a cool link here at jobhunters.

| be
prepared to your interview + remember to dress up properly! ...
dress appropriately. usually tie and suit can never go wrong. even an
entry-level job, a clean professional looking outfit leaves a very
good impression. check out bananarepublic.com
for clothing idea.
... prepare a list
of questions and answers that you think the interviewer will ask you.
