JOB GUIDNESS





Review sample resumes and letters to get ideas for both the formatting and the content of your job search materials. Then, use a template to create your own personalized resumes and letters.




One of the most important parts of getting ready for a job interview is to prepare responses for the typical interview questions you will be asked. Taking the time to review interview questions and sample answers will help you interview more confidentally and you'll impress the interviewer with your knowledge and expertise.




Job Application Forms
In many cases, even if you submit a resume, you will also be asked to complete a job application. This way the employer will have consistent data on file for all prospective applicants. Also, your signature on the job application acknowledges that the information is accurate.

Job Application Rules
The most important rule to remember when applying for jobs is to follow the directions. If the employer tells you to apply in person, don't call. If the job posting says to mail your resume, do not send it via email. When the job listing says apply via a form on the company web site, don't email your application directly to Human Resources.
There is not much more annoying to hiring managers than job seekers who don't follow the rules!




The best sites to find job listings including job banks, job search engine sites, niche job sites, jobs listed by type of job seeker and location, and additional job listing sites.




Salary information, salary surveys, negotiation strategies, salary tools, and more resources to research how much you should be paid and how to negotiate a reasonable compensation offer.
