Job Hunting

I went to a small career fair last week and I learned a few things in that event:

Resume

• First thing to write in your resume: Your Objective! What is it that you want?!
• Make sure your resume is 'customized' to the job you are applying for; put as mush as keywords related to that job in your resume
• The more general your resume is, the less chance it will get to be in front of recruiter's eyes

Interview

• Prepare questions to ask your interviewer (at least 50 questions)! Questions like your daily routine in your company and etc.
• Prepare to answer the questions that will definitely be asked: what is your strength and weakness? Why do you want to apply this job?
• Think about a weakness that is not really a weakness to you and boost about it a bit at interview if such questions are asked
• 50% should be your talking, and let the interviewer talk the rest
• The first and last sentence in the interview should be 'Thank you for taking your time to see me'
• Be sure to practice mock interview and 'self-selling speech' before going to interview

Job hunting skills

• The easiest way to get hired is by NETWORKING; giving your resume to someone you are acquainted with that happened to be in the company you are interested in working in
• Practice Business Writing
• Use phone call to call the department head in the morning (10:00am or at noon)
• Yahoo HotJobs/ Monsters.com/ Dice.com
• Be sure to reread your email for at least FIVE times before sending out!
