60 Second Job Preparation60 Second Job Preparation
1 - Be sharp, enthusiastic, energetic, happy. Get fit and trim.
2 – Keep a list of everyone you contact and each job you apply for.
3 - Collect potential questions and write out short answers – keep this forever.
4 - Make your resume simple, easy to read, replacing statements like, hardworking, 15 years experience, with objective statements that hit hard and prove your skills and abilities, using numbers and dollars. If you want a job as a Tax Accountant, put those words in several places. Put down accomplishments not job duties on the resume and remember you don't need your boss' approval for what you say.
5 - Put your resume on Monster and Careerbuilder and edit it daily, yes daily, so people will see that it's fresh. Carefully word your title in Monster, something like Joe Green, Tax Account.
6 - Make it easy for people to contact you with only one phone, don't screen calls and use a short, simple, professional email address. Contact everyone you know including references every week.
7 - Networking is king for getting a job. Read, "How to make people like you in 90 seconds" by Boothman
8 – Use recruiters, but don’t lose your common sense.
9 – Don’t lose your common sense and do things like give strangers your social security number
10 – Be proud of who you are and what you have done and get in a good mood prior to interviews.
11 – Rely on God.

This section should be clear, show the name of the company, your title and the time frame in which you were there! Include the month. Under each position should be 3 to 8 bullet points roughly describing your role and responsibilities using action verbs. Avoid using “I” or “myself” or “we” in the sentence descriptions. Use bullet points and void paragraph format. Make it as easy to read as possible. Don’t assume the person reviewing your resume is an industry expert or even wrote the job description. Make your resume understandable for HR Managers and Recruiters who are often the first ones that intercept your resume and forward them to the experts themselves.
