Page bread crumbs: Kevin P. Inscoe's public wiki - Job Searching And Resume Tips I am migrating my 8 year old previous "Central Florida Computer Jobs Resource" page (located at http://ke3vin.org/jobs/) to be more up to date, add some of others wisdom (and some of my own) to the subject. [ Sites to search | Central Florida jobs search | Resume tips | Cover letter tips ] Notes on making resumes:http://www.hackmyidea.com/wordpress/2008/11/29/your-resume-sucks-ass/ http://web.mit.edu/career/www/workshops/resumes/handouts.htm http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/wdc/291196665.html http://apwebdesign.com/resume.html Your resume is about your future, not your past."Resumes are not a confessional; choose what you write so it supports your current job objective. Fill resume with achievement statements, not “boring job description statements. Never include tasks you don’t want to repeat in your new job." http://pimpmyinterview.info/2008/11/10/five-key-points-to-keep-in-mind-when-writing-your-resume/ Six words you should drop from your resume Cover letter tips:Gilbert Samuelson January 27, 2007 Mr. Reece Cordova, Dear Mr. Cordova: From your posting on JobBankUSA.com, I'm aware that you're looking for an experienced warm-in worker. This is a job I am qualified for and interested in pursuing since I've had three years of experience reheating blown or pressed glassware in a furnace in order to fire-polish glassware and make it malleable prior to further processing. I believe an in-person meeting would be a great way to talk over the expectations you may have for the warm-in workers you hire. If you'd like to get together, please call me at 897-678-5656 and give me a time and date that is convenient for you. I look forward to your reply. Thank you for reading my cover letter and considering me to fill this opening. Sincerely, Gilbert Samuelson Enc: resume and cover letter http://web.mit.edu/career/www/workshops/resumes/CL_Ind.pdf Notes on job hunting:http://www.zoomstart.com/5-great-job-hunting-strategies-that-will-get-you-hired/ Attach:LinkedIn_Advanced_Job_Seeking_Techniques_1.pdf Sites to search (nationally):Top guns: Lesser know or used: Sites to search (Central Florida):http://orlando.craigslist.org/eng/ - internet engineering jobs http://orlando.craigslist.org/sof/ - internet engineering jobs http://orlando.craigslist.org/sad/ - systems/networking jobs http://www.florida.computerjobs.com/ Florida Department of Labor and Employment Security, Division of Jobs and Benefits State of Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation http://regionalhelpwanted.com/orlando-jobs/ http://regionalhelpwanted.com/daytona-jobs/ Personal brands:I myself don't care for that term but that's the buzz word used today. In short be careful how you promote and conduct yourself at all times even when your not looking because the person you may be rude to today may be your next employer tomorrow. http://www.lifesize.com/videoconferencingcareers/2009/04/23/manage-your-personal-brand-everyday/ Kevin's Public Wiki maintained and created by Kevin P.
