What makes YOU stand out in a crowd of applicants?

Let’s face it, basically everyone is looking for a job right now.  Whether you are searching for a career or just another part time job to help pay the bills….

Here are a couple tips that are occasionally forgotten:

  • Bring Your Resume – Even consider having a professional revise it.
  • Dress To Impress – The first impression you make on an employer during an interview will make or break you. Clean pressed clothes & shoes, a neat appearance and being well groomed shows that you not only want the job but take the position seriously also.
  • Smile! – Who wants to hire a grouch! A warm, friendly smile goes a long way. Sometimes we forget to smile when we’re nervous!
  • Keep Eye Contact – This will show the potential employer you are interested in what he/she is saying and will prove you have great communication skills!
  • Send A Thank You Note – Employers are BUSY! Thank them for taking the time out of their day to meet with you.

If you have been out of the employment arena for a long period of time you may want to look into assessment testing. This will allow the employer to see what skills you can bring to the table.
