The rules have changed, but not all the players are aware of this - especially those in transition and older generations of workers. In this new presentation, Steve Murphy from Bamboo Interactive will show you a game plan for finding a job in the digital age, including using tools like LinkedIn, Twitter, Wordpress and others to help you secure your dream job.TRANSCRIPT

The Job Search Has Changed
A lot has changed the past few years.
There are new rules being introduced to the game – but not everyone knows about them.

New Standards

But Wait! Are Jobs Scarce?
According to Forbes, there are roughly
4 MILLIONunfilled jobs right now.

The problem is a disconnect.
The way companies are hiring isn’t matching the way applicants are applying.
≠Applicants Companies

CREATING A RESUME THAT RESONATES
Part 1:
![Page 11: Finding Jobs in a Digital Age: How to Apply Smart & Land Your Dream Job](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051322/53eca4ad8d7f7289708b5810/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Holy Grail of Job Search
A resume is a must-have for the job search.
Its your personal financial statement – if you expect a company to invest in you, show them what you’re worth!
![Page 12: Finding Jobs in a Digital Age: How to Apply Smart & Land Your Dream Job](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051322/53eca4ad8d7f7289708b5810/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Build a Master Resume
This document should be much longer than a resume you would apply with.
Use it as your “word bank” when building custom resumes.
A master resume template will save you a lot of time in the future.

Be Specific & Actionable
When building your resume, ask yourself the following:
What have you accomplished in the past?
Can you back it up with numbers? What potential do you have for the
future?

Make It Attractive

Format It for Software
Save two copies: One for people, one for software.
Creating a plain text version is more easily read by software like Taleo + iCims.

Apply To Companies You Love
Not every company posts their jobs online.

Keep in mind…
Remember that it is often a numbers game.
Set goals for yourself daily and weekly.
Test + improve your resume, profiles, etc. regularly.
Never, ever give up! You will land.
