10 ways to get a great job!



1. Make sure your resume is flawless! This can be done by going to Office Depot and finding the latest resume software. If you're looking for a professional to adjust your resume check out fiver.com or elance.com 

2. Make sure your resume it's the job description. This is vital importance. Also having a great Cover letter to convey your interest in this position.

3. Make sure your LinkedIn profile is up-to-date. These days employers and recruiters check out LinkedIn to see if it matches up with your resume. You can never be too safe.

4. Make sure your Facebook profile is hidden when you begin the job search. Employers these days will take your email and put it in the Facebook search engine. Make sure the email you use to look for work is different then the email for Facebook.

5.Delegate the job searching  task. For me looking for a job isn't very soul crushing and tedious work. Why not give the responsibility to someone else? In the meantime you can be practicing the interview process.(caution: Make sure you find a virtual assistant that you can trust this can be a tedious process in itself but well worth the effort.)

6. Make sure your phone has an appropriate message. If you cannot answer a call make sure your phone has a professional message. Promptly return the message once you get it.

7.be nice to your recruiter. Your recruiter wants you to be hired. Follow his or her advice and you will be successful. Make sure you can back up anything you put on your resume.

8. Practice the interview. Make sure you know what you're going to say during an interview. Think up any question the interview may ask and have an answer to it.

9. Think of questions to ask the interviewer. Make sure you come up with at least three questions to ask the interviewer during the interview.

10. Ask for what is the next step and when will you get the next interview. No one likes to be left in the dark. Once you ask the interviewer what's the next step and when is the next step, it will ease the uncertainty of when you will hear from a employer. Find out when a decision is supposed to be made.
