CareerBuilder’s Susan Rickler has this advice (my summary). Check out the full article at CareerBuilder.com.
Susan suggests practicing due diligence.
- Discovery step: Assess strengths. Ask yourself: What education, cerifications and experience do I have? What type of work environments do I thrive in working on my own, being part of a team, working in high-pressure situations, being creative? What would my ideal job be and what skills are needed to get it?
- Research steps: Look at job trends.
- Resume steps: Focus on key words. See my other blogs on resumes. There is a plethora of adice.
- Pre-interview steps: Prepare questions and answers. See No. 30 on larrylitwin dot com under Student handouts. It contains excellent advice.
