Job hunting now is certainly a very hectic and de-motivating task. Here are some useful tips to enhance your job searching skills.
Communication is the Key
Don’t ever make the mistake of printing out your resume at work and faxing it to another company. Try keeping your communication with your prospective employer beyond the office hours. In case you don’t have the resources to communicate with your employer ask a friend, or use a nearby Kinko's. Keep email discussions with prospective employers on a personal account. And in case you need to communicate with your employer during the office hours, call him via your cell phone so that you can communicate freely.
CV Checklist
Make sure that your resume is visible to a limited number of employers. Sometimes you can get busted since your CV is open to most of the people online, including your own boss. It is therefore recommended that you choose a site where you have the option of hiding your information.
Style is the Answer
Keep your outfit professional, yet it shouldn’t hint your boss about your personal meeting with a prospective employer anytime. Men should consider keeping their tie and suit in their car, whereas women can keep an extra pair of heels and overcoat in your closet.
Persuasion
Don’t shy from scheduling a time that is beyond the typical 9-5 routine if you are looking forward to get interviewed. Help your employer understand your reservations and don’t hesitate from speaking the truth. At the end, you certainly would want to look for a time when both of you are comfortable.
