Better Job: How To Find A Better Job/Atlanta: (404-580-1501)

From a logical standpoint, everyone should always be on the lookout for a better job, whether you live in Atlanta, Kennesaw, Dallas or elsewhere. You should be loyal to your current position or employer, but at the same time they also should want you to best use your talents if they care about you.  Common Sense 101, right? I write resumes; I know this (404-580-1501).

And, if you do find a better job elsewhere, maybe you should ask your present employer if he or she wants to match it to keep you? (If not, you were not much to them anyway.) Wherever you work, your organization should want to maximize your abilities, period.



To be able to improve yourself and your life, a person should always have an updated resume on hand. You never know when a new job opportunity elsewhere or within your own company might pop-up. This is true for blue collar workers with traditional resumes, as well as for white collar employeees and executives with executive resumes. (It also is wise to have a special federal resume on hand for any great government position that is posted.)

Traditional resumes present your basic skills and abilities and determination, and a general view about what you have done in the labor market. Executive resumes do that also, but go deeper in presenting exact tangible accomplishents and more stats and numbers.

However, resumes do not get new jobs; they obtain interviews. People skills matter most. Employers (especially in upper-level positions) first-of-all hire who they like. Bond with your interviewers. Be human. Know what is on your resume, and know how you feel about questions they might ask you. Have a truthful resume, so you do not have to reherse your answers!

At Jimmy Hall Writing Services 404-580-1501, I want to help you with your resume, traditional resume, executive resume, and federal resume.

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?
