  • Proofread your email for grammar and spelling (do not trust spell check software). Remember, this is your chance to make a critical first impression; even an emailed note needs to be professional and error-free.
  • Be brief and to the point. Your cover letter should not be any longer than two or three short paragraphs.
  • Make sure you include a signature with your full name, email address and phone number.
  • Include the title of the position you are applying for in the subject line of your message.
  • Be sure that your email address has a professional tone.
  • If the job posting asks you to send an attachment, send your resume as an MSWord or PDF document.
  • Many employers do not accept attachments. In these cases, paste your resume into your email message.
  • Use a simple font and remove the fancy formatting.
  • Send the message to yourself first to test that the formatting works.
  • If everything looks good, resend to the employer.

5 Reasons Your Job Hunting Isn't Going Well

Posted By All Pakistan Jobs On Saturday, February 20, 2010 0 comments
To advance your career and make sure your job hunt is on track there are a number of things that you must make sure you are doing right. In fact as a job seeker, looking to get a job should in fact be your full-time job. Today we are going to look at 5 quick, key reasons you are not getting the response from employers that you feel you should. If you are guilty of any of these offenses, today is a great day to take action.

# 1. You are not making your job hunt personal.

What we mean here is that you are still sending generic resumes to "whom it may concern." Get personal. Find the names of the HR Directors, hiring managers or the person doing the hiring at the company. Then send them a personal note with a custom resume catered to their company and position that you wish to have.

# 2. You are looking where everyone else is looking.

As a job board, we want you to look at apply to the jobs that we offer on our site. It's a great way to see a mass number of open positions at one time. However, do know that you are competing with a larger number of candidates. Do your homework and find open positions through networking, online searching and leveraging job boards and vertical search engines like Job-A-Lot to uncover hidden gems.

# 3. You believe every word coming out of the television.

If you think everything is all doom and gloom, its time to snap out of it. Orlando is a top 5 city for available internships and entry level positions - so you are in a great place to find opportunity. Take a few minutes out of your day to find positivity and you will find yourself having less stress and an open mind towards your job hunt.

# 4. Bad E-Mails.

I say this every time that we have a job fair here in Orlando and it is still a major problem that I can assure you is hampering your job prospects. Read your emails, proof them and then look at them again. Start with the subject line and work your way down. Today alone I had emails with
◦ No subject
◦ Subject line that stated, "Look at my resum"
◦ Opening sentence that read, "You sayed send resume so I sended to you."

# 5. You are not as productive as you think you are.

This is the full time job scenario. Sending out a few resumes in the morning and catching some daytime soaps is not showing determination, initiative or progress. Get into the habit of forming actions that produce successful reactions. There you have it. I have called out your bluffs, your safety nets and your excuses. All that is left is the hard work that allows you to work hard.
