The ResumeCreate an Outstanding and Effective Resume
The first and perhaps the most vital step in preparing yourself for a successful job search is to create a powerful resume that will open doors and generate interviews.
And you’ll want a powerfully effective and
attractive resume because:
“On average, most recruiters spend about 30 seconds scanning a resume and cover letter before sending it to the “yes” or “no” pile.”

Facebook – just not a good idea
Do a careful reading and observation of your web presence.
Ensure your public or social web space is a positive reflection of you.◦What you think is cute and funny, may be interpreted in a completely different way by your audience.
Or…seriously consider removing any personal social networking websites at this time.
![Page 20: UN 1010 Classroom Presentation Fall 2010](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/5459a896b1af9fc0638b5901/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Interview:“So…tell me about yourself”
Is the first question an interviewer asks in the vast majority of times… Develop and memorize a 60 second infomercial. This is where you set the tone for the interview.
Make the next half hour a pleasant one for your interviewer by smiling, and being confident and enthusiastic.
Tell STORIES about your academic, professional, and personal background.
Be unique and funny if you can.
![Page 21: UN 1010 Classroom Presentation Fall 2010](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061118/5459a896b1af9fc0638b5901/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Your Turn… Be sure to ask intelligent, informed
questions of your interviewer. This shows you know their company and you’re making an educated decision to work for them.
Some Sample Questions: Ask about a specific project you know the company is working on. What is the company’s biggest challenge at this time. Where would the company like to be in 5 years? Ask your interviewer about his position and work history with the
company. Ask about professional development opportunities Ask about advancement opportunities
Finally – Don’t forget to send an immediate THANK YOU letter. This is appreciated and expected!
