The complexity of gaining employment sometimes bewilder potential candidates. There are tips to "Building a Better you." These proven methods are explored within the pages of The Pink Slip- HR Secrets for the Displaced Worker...but today, the Human Resources Corner will share a few with you.
* Update your resume at least every 6 months. This economy does not lend to "guaranteed employment' so every 6 months is advised.
* When sending a resume/cover letter or networking correspondence--be specific , many are read daily, get to the point.
* The subject line was created for a reason- use it accordingly. Again, be specific.
* Unless sending a grant proposal, limit the amount of attachments sent. Many PC's now have so many virus software, that attachments may be detected as potential danger and deleted...state the information in the body (for more clarity google business writing do's and don't /email etiquette).
* Finally always include clear, contact information (email/cell) for follow up. time is short, searching for follow up information may cause you the position.
