AVOID THESE JOB HUNTING STRATEGIES!
OUTDATED
3

• Searching for a new job is much different now
  than it was just a few years ago. Applicants must
  make themselves stand apart from other applicants
  without making themselves look odd or aggressive.

4

• To do this effectively, many job seekers need to
  change some of their old school job seeking
  habits and approach job seeking in a new manner.

5

• By changing some of your methods, you may find
  that landing the perfect new job has become quite
  simple.

6
FOLLOW APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
7

• Many employers have devised specific routines
  for accepting applications. They most likely want
  the applications sent online with your resume
  attached.

8

• They may also give specific information about how
  to check the status of your application.

9

• Many people believe that this is done to make
  interviewing less personal.

10

• However, many companies are doing it this way to
  see if you can follow simple
  instructions.

11

• Follow all the instructions on their application
  and their follow up instructions.

12

• If the company wants you to check the status
  online, do not call their HR department. It is a
  sure way to be overlooked.

13
UPDATE YOUR RESUME TO CURRENT STANDARDS
14

• You need to update your resume so that they are
  easy to scan and have what the HR rep is looking
  for in an easy to find manner.

15

• For example, eliminate the Objective at the
  beginning of your resume, everyone knows you are
  looking for a career position, and change it to
  Summary.

16

• Make your summary a quick overview of your
  talents and experience so the HR rep knows who
  you are and what you offer right from the start.

17

• Other changes to your resume can include
  eliminating the References Upon Request Section.

18

• Again, if the potential employer wants
  references, you are going to provide them if you
  want the job.

19

• Stating this fact just wastes space and makes
  your resume look crowded.

20
CLEAN UP YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA
21

• If you want to increase your chances of being
  considered for a job, make sure that your social
  media accounts are not filled with things that
  may be offensive to your potential new employer.

22

• Over 70 percent of businesses now complete social
  media searches on potential candidates before
  deciding whether or not to bring them in for an
  interview.

23

• This also applies to personal blogs as well as
  all forms of social media.

24
RELYING ON ONLY ONE JOB SEEKING TECHNIQUE
25

• If you are looking for a job, you cannot simply
  rely on the classified ads in your local
  newspaper or one job site on the Internet.

26

• You need to broaden your job search to include
  online classified ads, state employment agencies,
  social media postings, and multiple online job
  search sites.

27

• There are many employers out there and they are
  not limited to posting to just one place as they
  were in the past.

28

• Broaden your search so that you have more jobs to
  choose from during your search.

29

• By changing these simple things when you are
  looking for a job, you will find that your
  chances of landing the perfect position are
  significantly increased.
