Sorry to hear that man, just graduated with an engineering degree recently, been looking for a job ever since and still no luck so far.
three times for me and each time was difficult yet easier. it seems bleak but perhaps this extra time you have you can pick up an additional certification/license or do some freelance work, etc... while you continue to look for work. worst thing you can do is feel sorry for yourself and do nothing. won't fix anything and only make you waste precious time in hindsight. good luck!
Dan, thanks for your contributions man. Always spot on. Quick question though. Do you think that cover letters are still relevant and as useful? I know that my closest colleagues and I never give them the slightest look. Have you heard differently from others in the industry? If so, I should probably put one or two together for myself. Also, on a related note. When applying for jobs, don't skimp out on the fields on the actual job application itself. Even though it may be the same info from your attached resume. Don't ever freaking put "See Reseme" anywhere on your application. On many Applicant Tracking Systems, the software that companies use for thier recruiting and online application process, it's just easier and more efficient for recruiting and HR to skim through candidate applications before ever viewing resumes and cover letters. I'm familiar with the format of our job application and can gather whether or not a candidate is qualified in seconds. The resume is always the second thing that I look at after the job application. Be informative, but to the point. Don't put any negative info at all anywhere in your job application or resume. Capitalize the first letter of keywords from the job descriptions throughout your resume and job application. The fact is that the person reading it is likely skimming first, reviewing second, then reading third. So know that and put yourself ahead of the crowd. Best of luck to OP and anyone else searching for a gig.
Prince Nonataku has billions of dollars and needs to hire a personal accountant, but first he needs your bank info to make sure you can at least handle your own finances.
This. That man put in work on this thread (No job pun intended). Repped, thanks for taking the time to help others out man.
No dummy, here in houston. $ 9 an hour and can easily increase if you have "wicked skills". Requirements: Bachelors degree preferred or CPA with 2 recommendation letters.
He is a good dude. We had a great exchange about resumes not too long ago. If I was seriously job hunting, I would definitely pay his service to update mine.
Then broaden your scope of what an ideal job is, either by title, compensation, industry or location. Not to be cynical but I bet headhunters eat you for lunch in face-to-face meetings: they don't know anything about the industries or jobs they recruit for, so they overcompensate and screen candidates based on perceived attitude and personality.
You'd also want to remember to take your cat up there, and do it in the morning so you can mix in some four-square and King's Quest before Bewitched and Too Close for Comfort reruns.
Um...No. Already broadened my search. My speciality is being in front of people....no lunch being eaten. The problem is sometimes too much experience (age..over 40) can work against you.
