TIP 3:
IT IS NO LONGER A NUMBERS GAME!
Most job seekers today looking for employment have JUST entered the market and therefore have not had to look for employment for years. For some, the last time they applied for a job was decades ago when they picked up the local paper and called the hiring manager directly. Today phone numbers are replaced with E mail addresses and interview locations with Career Pages.

Although at one time the more resumes you sent, the more chances of getting noticed, today the reverse is true. If your resume is not producing responses, you may be unknowingly keywording yourself out of positions in your area.

Here is today's Employment tip#3.

Send 10 resumes to key employers in your area. Be sure you are applying with Career Pages directly and your resume contains content harmonious to the positions requirements. If you do not receive responses from those employers, take a closer look at your resume. Modify its content before you send it out again. After you have tweaked its content, send out 10 more resumes. Remember this should all be completed within a 7 day period. If you continue to not receive responses weeks after applying, have a professional* help you with your resume. You may consult a Job Search Assistant at the magazine for Free help. You may also meet with a Senior Job Specialist.

TIP 4:
FIRST FIND A JOB, THEN SEARCH FOR A CAREER! Why does it take some people 6 months or longer to find employment? Why do some people find jobs effortlessly while others exhaust their savings before having to settle for any job?

The answer is, "Some wait too long and sidestep job offers waiting for the right career". It is important to always pursue your dream and find a Career that makes you happy. However it is more important to first secure a Job that pays your minimum salary requirements.

Here is today's Employment tip#4:
Your job search should involve 2 steps. First, find a job that pays your minimum salary requirements. Once you have secured employment, work towards becoming an asset to that organization. While employed, your next step is to pursue your search looking for a long-term career. Although your new job may turn unexpectedly into a Career, you can continue interviewing while employed. You will be more productive interviewing while still employed feeling relaxed. You never want to attend an interview feeling desperate or needy.

Some choose to remain jobless for months searching for a career arguing: "It is better to be unemployed looking for the right career than to pre-occupy the time with the wrong job". If you can afford to finance your search meanwhile weathering the storm, then this argument makes sense. However, most find themselves taping into their savings trying to accomplish this.

Fortunately today technology enables us to look for a career while employed. Today when you post THE RIGHT resume on the RIGHT SITES, you will have employers chasing you. Be sure to target Key responses VS just responses. To learn more, visit Quicktips 1,2 & 3.

TIP 5:
NEVER ASK THE EMPLOYERS THIS QUESTION PRIOR TO GETTING AN OFFER!
What is the ONE question most job seekers crave to ask employers during the interview? This question is responsible for losing more job offers than any other. The question is: "What is the compensation for this job?" or "Does this job pay an hourly or salary?" Of course your ability to answer the same question asked by the employer "What is your minimum salary requirements?" directly impacts the outcome of the interview.

The truth is until you identify and show that your skills can make you an asset to the employer, the compensation offered is irrelevant. Whether the company pays $1 or $1,000,000, it makes no difference if 90 days later you are not viewed as an asset. Additionally, the compensation does not matter unless you receive an offer. Therefore, to ask this question prior to getting an offer only moves the focus from what is important, YOUR SKILLS to what is irrelevant THE PAY.

So here is tip #5:
During the phone or face to face interviews, get the employer excited about YOU by showing how you can become an asset after being hired. Ask about compensation only after you have been offered a job. To lean how to answer commonly asked questions such as: "What is your minimum salary requirements?" consult with a Senior Job Specialist.
