Job Search Tips: Resumes, Cover Letters, Interviews, and Follow-ups ~ Jimmy Hall

Finding a new job in Atlanta or anywhere else when you are unemployed is a difficult task, especially due to the pressure and even guilt (probably unjustified) you might feel with respect to your current situation or about yourself. I hope that this piece about job search tips and resumes, cover letters, interviews, and follow-ups will help.

As a writer that crafts many resumes, cover letters, and follow-up letters, I understand clients' job searches. At Jimmy Hall Writing Services/Atlanta (404-580-1501) I assist them in any ways. Finding employment in the 21st Century is a fulltime job itself, so do not feel discouraged.

What Type Job?

For starters, do you have the time and resources to look for exactly the type of new opportunity that you want, or must you quickly find any type of work? 

Specific Position/Certain Companies

If you can be a little choosey, by all means target a specific position or type of job (or certain companies) and have an executive or specific resume and cover letter written for it. Present yourself as a valuable commidity, a partner or team player to add value.

General Opening

If time is of the essence, cast a wider net, and be a bit more general without focusing 100% on a certain profession on the resume itself (but craft the cover letter to the general opening(s) they are offering).

Do Company & Job Research

Regardless of the approach taken, make certain that you study-up on the company and Google info about that certain type of job at that company before your interview with the company. Secondly, look at your own resume, and be prepared to answer any questions you feel might be asked based upion it or any weaknesses you truly have. 

Ace Interviews

Once there, be a good listener in the interview, but be open to throwing-in some info to let the interviewer know that you know something about the situation you aspire to walk into. Do not be simply a responder or reactor. Have personality. Lastly, be yourself. The most important thing might-well be for the interviewer to simply LIKE you. Ace interviews!

Interview Follow-up

Regardless of how good or bad you feel like the interview went, do send a follow-up note or letter the next day, expressing your appreciation for the meeting and offering to clarify or provide any more information desired. Understand?
