Tips on Using Job Boards Use Boolean syntax for precision
Data mine for company targets, not just job leads Save your searches as automatic alerts
Study each ad carefully for clues to the “backstory” Send an e-mail note, not a full cover letter
Use the “Trends” tool to identify hot credentials Be done by 9am each day with this part of the process

Is your job search reflecting the strengths you claim to
have as a professional?

maintain peak marketability?
Are you getting out of your comfort zone regularly?
