MERCHANTVILLE, NJ -- You've found the job you want. So what do you do? Type up a cover letter, e-mail your resume and wait? Chances are you'll be waiting a long time if you don't make yourself stand out from the competition, says Eleanor Farmer, a resume writer and business coach. "They're looking for reasons to screen you out," says Farmer, noting that recruiters usually spend less than 20 seconds looking at your resume.According to a Monster.com survey, most resumes don't get a second look. Only about 3 percent of candidates are called for an interview. "Even when written by professionals, most resumes read like obituaries," says Irv Orenstein, of Orenstein Advertising in Huntington Valley, Pa.The most common offenses: being too generic and not convincing enough as far as your accomplishments. For instance, if you can say you doubled sales in a short amount of time, say so. But be specific. Additionally, Farmer says, people still use a generic resume. It's valuable, she said, to customize your resume to the company and job that you're applying to. "You want to tell them the benefits that you bring to their company."

Quick Tips: Finding time to network
Wendy Terwelp, Career Coach
MILWAUKEE, WI -- You keep hearing, "Network, network, network. Sixty to 85 percent of all job seekers land positions through networking" but you say to yourself, "Well, I don't have time." You don't? Here are some quick tips:1. Read The Business Journal during lunch and jot down at least 5 new contact names each day. By the end of the week, you will have 25 new names / companies you can target for your career search.2. Combine networking with things you already do. Take five minutes before your event or activity to rehearse your new sound bite and list people you plan to speak with and why.3. If you're already going to a business function you can: a) Wear a name badge that can be read 15 feet away. People will be intrigued; b) Jot down at least one unusual or interesting thing about new people you meet on the back of business cards you receive; c) Jot down what action you plan to take: e.g. follow up.
Dressing for the jobAbridged: Forbes.com
NEW YORK, NY -- Mark Twain once quipped, "Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence in society." Good insight. But in a world of "Dress Down Friday," what's appropriate to wear to work? In many cases, there are no carved-in-granite rules so when in doubt, go traditional. "The most basic mistake new employees make is under dressing," says Randall Hansen, a professor of business at Stetson University in Deland, Fla. "If unsure, dress conservatively.To make the right impression at work, remember these basic points when assembling your wardrobe: 1. Presentation counts, 2. Casual shouldn't mean slovenly, 3. Dress as you want to be seen: Serious, professional, upward-bound.When putting together your work wardrobe, take the most basic step first: Size up your office. If you want to be a manager, check out what the successful managers wear. Next, check out the office stars. If your office has a written dress code, your problems are solved. If necessary, go shopping with the dress code in hand and you can't go wrong. But many offices don't have written standards and it's up to you to get it right.
Important fact you need to know about job searching
Staff Writer, The Career News
VIRGINIA BEACH, VA -- Have you spent hours upon hours in your job search only to find that you get few responses back no matter how many resumes you email? These days emails are being deleted at a significant rate without ever being opened. And many hiring managers are simply overwhelmed with the amount of emailed resumes they have to go through.Consider a different approach. Try faxing your resume directly to employers you're interested in. When you fax your resume it is delivered already opened. Unlike email, the recipient can't delete your resume prior to it being seen, and if your faxed resume is addressed to the actual decision maker it almost always ends up on that person's desk.If this sounds like a good idea to you, we recommend using JobsByFax. This company has categorized 3.9 Million employers into about 73 categories. They'll quickly fax your resume directly to the exact type of employers you want in your selected geographic area. To find out how many employers matching your criteria you can fax your resume directly to, just

Hated It: You're emotions are showing
George Blomgren, Tips From An Employer
MILWAUKEE, WI -- Job hunting often takes place in an emotionally challenging environment. Chances are you've lost a job, you need income, and you're dealing with the stress of the job hunt. At the same time, you need to come across as poised, positive and confident.Maybe you're experiencing frustration over an extended job hunt, anger at an arrogant interviewer or bitterness at a former employer. These are all very natural reactions. If these feelings sound familiar, and you have been on a number of job interviews that didn't lead to offers, it's likely that your negative emotions are showing.Negative feelings like these are virtually impossible to hide, and they all but ensure an unsuccessful interview. You need to get a handle on them - but how? One appropriate and cost-effective solution is job seeker support groups, found in many larger cities. These support groups provide a constructive outlet for the intense and often painful emotions that accompany both losing a job and seeking a new one. Local libraries, career coaches and web searches (which include geographical keywords) may provide a good head start in finding a group near you.

Understanding your office cultureAbridged: MSNBC.com
SEATTLE, WA -- If you find yourself cleaning out your desk and starting a new job every nine months to a year, the problem is you - not your boss or colleagues. It's important to understand your company's corporate culture and to match it in words and actions."Size up the culture and show a strong work ethic," says Andrew J. DuBrin, a professor of management at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, N.Y. "Don't walk around saying, 'It's Wednesday - hump day - and Friday will be here soon.' " Here's betting that Microsoft, Wells Fargo, Intel, Exxon Mobil and McClatchy Newspapers have distinct corporate cultures. The smart employee scopes out the territory ahead.You got hired because the boss thought you could do the job. But competence alone isn't enough to succeed. Be passionate about your work and take pride in it. Tossing things together at the last minute won't cut it. If you're smart and a little lucky, you'll find your work challenging and your co-workers engaging.
