What most people think is irrelevant information is sometimes the most important item they forget to add to their professional resume.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of sites online that can show you how to write a resume and if your still having trouble \u2013 hire a professional resume writer.<\/p>\n<p>It boggles my mind that people won\u2019t spend around $200-$400 for something that can increase their salaries exponentially. Don\u2019t buy those pair of shoes this month, get a professional resume and know you can buy as many new pairs of shoes in the future.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<li>\n<h4>Google News<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<p>This is one I bet most people don\u2019t expect. But this is a great trick for someone really trying to crack into an industry or a specific company.<\/p>\n<p>Create an alert of companies you are interested to work for. When those companies win new contracts they usually send out a Press Release to announce it.<\/p>\n<p>With any new sale or contract win comes the need to hire people for the projects. Read the article for contacts in the company and network with them either via email or LinkedIn. Congratulate them on the new project and start to explain how you can help them in the future.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<li>\n<h4>LinkedIn<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<p>If you are any type of professional, you should have a LinkedIn profile. Period. This is the ultimate networking site for any business professional. First of all its free to create a profile (It costs to send a message to someone out of your network, but we share some great ideas around that in upcoming posts).<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile\" href=\"https:\/\/www.resumetarget.com\/blog\/how-to-optimize-enhance-and-fine-tune-your-linkedin-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn has a profile completeness meter <\/a>on the side of your profile that tells you how much more information you should add to your profile.<\/p>\n<p>I suggest a minimum of 80% profile completeness and be sure to include relevant keywords to your job and industry so you will be easy to find.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<li>\n<h4>Build relationships with recruiters<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<p>It always surprises me that most people still don\u2019t utilize recruiters as much as they should. Recruiters are the ears of your industry and know what is going on before most people in large companies do.<\/p>\n<p>Recruiters prefer to specialize in niches. And yes while there are a lot of recruiters that prefer to work on volume and won\u2019t give some job seekers the time of day, I find the really great recruiters will talk to you and get you on the right path.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t be afraid to ask questions, don\u2019t be afraid to ask why you won\u2019t get a particular job, and find out what you have to do in your career path to get it. Don\u2019t expect them to hand hold you, you\u2019ve got one conversation with them, use it wisely.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<li>\n<h4>Referrals &#8211; Networking<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<p>Companies love when job-seekers are referred by other employees (up to 75% get hired this way). Employees are usually offered a bonus if the person is hired. Most of the time jobs, especially at large multinationals are posted first internally and only after a month or so, get posted to the public.<\/p>\n<p>Ask a friend to either submit your resume to the hiring manager or HR for you, or even better look and see if there are any open opportunities that you might be a great fit for. If your friend is not in the same field are you are \u2013 it\u2019s usually best to provide them with job titles that would apply to you.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-8 offset-xl-2 col-lg-10 offset-lg-1 col-md-12 mb-3 mb-sm-0\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-8 offset-xl-2 col-lg-10 offset-lg-1 col-md-12 mb-3 mb-sm-0\">\n<h2 class=\"text-center\">\n     Get job search ready <b>fast<\/b><br \/>\n     <\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-center\">Open new career opportunities with our professional resume writing services.<\/p>\n<div class=\"text-center\">\n             <a href=\"https:\/\/www.resumetarget.com\/packages-and-prices.php\" class=\"btn btn-md\">Get started<br \/>\n             <span class=\"ic-arrow-right-white\"><\/span><br \/>\n             <\/a>\n          <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways 5 Ways to Maximize Your Job Search requires strategic career positioning to maximize impact.
