Posted 2 months ago How to get a job in another state
NEW YORK, NY -- Begin the process as soon as you determine when the move will occur. This gives you time to do the necessary research. Prepare your resume and your references. Use career sites such as CareerBuilder, NetTemps or Job.com to help you locate a position, and to give you a general idea of qualifications and experience required. Read the "Help Wanted" ads in a newspaper from the area you are moving to. Complete the pre-qualification questionnaire or contact information sheet provided by the employer. Employers receive many of these per day, and in summarizing your strengths factually, you're increasing the information supplied in a shorter time frame. This will get you noticed. Don't call the employer regarding a posting online, unless indicated. Once you have established rapport with your potential employer, in most cases they will ask for a phone interview or a personal interview. This could involve travel to their location. Arrive at the interview, or await the phone call. Conduct the interview in a quiet room. If you're going in for an interview, arrive early, and wear business or business casual clothing. Bring all of your documentation, references, resume and certifications to the interview. Make sure the potential employer knows your time table for your move. Answer their questions truthfully. Thank them for taking the time to interview you. If you hear nothing, keep trying elsewhere. If they offer you a position, politely ask for the proposal in writing.

| Posted 2 months ago Dealing with information overload in a job search
DENVER, CO -- While absorbing new information can be a critical part of the job search process, it doesn't take long to reach the point of diminishing returns. If information overload is an issue for you, try one or more of the following tips: Use your e-mail software and create filters to sort incoming e-mail into folders before you read them. Then set aside specific times to scan those items before deleting or downloading them. Put a daily job search plan together and commit to following it. Start each day by identifying your job search steps. Then conduct those steps before you even open your email box. Whenever possible, call instead of emailing. You will connect more quickly and deeply with the other person, leading to better job search results. Streamline the emails you send, particularly for networking, to be concise and friendly. Consider that if you can't get to the point in a few sentences, you may not have a 'good' point. Shut down the computer and return when you do have one. Keep things simple. Remember that your goal is to find a job. If you receive information that doesn't further that cause, let it go.

ATLANTA, GA -- Looking for a job when you are above 35 is a whole different ball game from the usual job search for fresh graduates or persons with a few years experience. The competition in the market place is indeed fierce! Here are ways you can increase your chances of landing an executive level position. Exploit your contacts and network. If you have over five years works experience behind you chances are that you have several networks you can exploit in your job search. The advantage you have of being experienced is that you've met several people in the past who may be in a position to help. These include former bosses, supervisors, colleagues, clients etc. Think about your contacts who can potentially refer you to opportunities and don't hesitate to ask. Apply for open positions. One way to land a job as a mid level or experienced job seeker is to do a check of your current qualifications, skills and knowledge. Are they still competitive enough or do you need to embark on some refresher courses? If your resume shows how active you have been in improving yourself you stand a better chance when submitting applications for such experience level jobs. Get strategic with your online networking. Two useful online platforms for career opportunities are LinkedIn and Twitter. The key here is to make your connections professional. Many of the experienced level job positions today are filled through inside referrals.
