Job Hunting Strategies That Don't Work | Robin's Resumes?

As a certified career coach, I can recommend many job hunting strategies that will complement your resume and increase your chances for finding that perfect job. But the following strategies won?t work:

1. Resending the same resume over and over to the same company, expecting different results.

What to Do Instead: You can reapply to the same company. But it would pay to have a professional review your resume and cover letter to make sure you are clearly stating why you are a great fit for that company.

1. Using resume creation software.

What to Do Instead: Send out a professionally written resume that reflects you, your achievements, skills and attitudes and that is targeted for the job you want.

1. Staying at home and working the computer.

What to Do Instead: Get yourself out among people, spreading the word about your job hunt and letting them see what a great employee you would make. Talk to family, friends and former colleagues; attend business networking events and expos; take on freelance, volunteer and consultant opportunities (they may become job offers; in the meantime you?re keeping your skills sharp and building contacts)?and that?s just the start of the list.
