TO STAND OUT FROM OTHER CANDIDATES

To help you further stand out from other candidates during your job search, I'd like to leave you with these additional hints...

HELPFUL HINTS

-----------------------------------------------------------

FOCUS ON YOUR VALUE

Whenever you apply for a job, think about how you can bring value to the company. In your cover letter, focus

on how you plan to help the company achieve its goals and how certain skills of yours will help accomplish

those goals. In the interview process, give specific examples of how your work experience directly applies

to the company values, clearly showing you're a great fit for the position.

ALWAYS FOLLOW UP

Whether you've applied for a job through Monster, have just finished a job interview or have sent an online

networking invitation, always follow up. It will show that you're proactive and a true go-getter, two traits

that are highly regarded in every industry. And because not everyone follows up, doing so will set you apart.

KEEP YOUR RESUME UPDATED

Because you could hear about a great job opportunity on a moment's notice, always keep your resume updated

with industry buzzwords, new skills and an eye-catching headline. Then, you'll be ready to apply to any job the

same day you hear about it, and get your resume into the hands of the hiring manager quickly.
