Creative Ways to Present Your Resume
As the unemployment rate has significantly decreased in recent years, it has not boded well for Millennials. As reported by Generation Opportunity, young adults between the ages of 18-29 are experiencing an unemployment rate of 8 percent, as compared to the more moderate 3.7 percent for Americans over 29 years old. This results in a more competitive job market. With this in mind, Millennials and job seekers alike need to present their work experience in more creative ways.

Employers- Is it Time to Throw Away the Resume and Perform Blind Interviews?
According to from Bersin by Deloitte, US companies are spending an average of $4,000 in cost per hire in 2015. That is expensive especially when your hire doesn’t work out. It may be time to consider doing some blind interviewing.
Will the Resume be Replaced by Blind Interviews?
The number one complaint by jobseekers is the lack of communication when you apply to a job (that you qualify for) and never hear back from the employer. This could be due to many factors like a poor resume, numerous jobs or a poor internal screening process. No matter what the reason, most job seekers just want a chance to prove they are a good fit with a company and can do the job; many of you just never get the chance.
How to Beat the Engine: Tips for Online Job Searching
As a recent college grad, I cannot even fathom the idea of looking for jobs in the classifieds.

Sites, such as OrlandoJobs.com, provide an extensive database of job listings that can be accessed quickly and at any time.

What Job Seekers Want from Employers in 2016
In 2015 I spoke with over 5,000 job seekers at career events at colleges, career expos and in my own offices.

Like YouTube? It Can Teach You How to Format Your Resume to Get Noticed by Employers
When you apply to a job with a larger company today, you will inadvertently have to use their applicant tracking system (ATS) to create your own “web page” on their internal servers. The company will use their own search terms to find you and if your information matches, you may get called for an interview. (I have written many articles on ATS’s.) By far, the number one complaint I hear from job seekers is that then NEVER hear back from the employer after they apply.
Posting Jobs in 2016 and Getting Great Results
If all companies and recruiters had one wish it would be to make all job seekers and job curious use only one exclusive job board when seeking employment. It used to be that way in the Sunday Newspaper classifieds before the internet. If your jobs were not in the Sunday paper, you would not get any candidates except for internal referrals. On top of that, if you had an opening on Monday, you would not be able to advertise that opening until Sunday. Not very effective.
It’s Time for a New Job if You Agree With 4 Out of 5 of These Indicators!
2016 is looming right around the corner. Is it time for a new job? The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS.gov) official unemployment rate is the also known as the U-3. Nationally, that rate is 5.0% (October 2015). This is pretty good. The US has added a lot of jobs in 2015 and seems like that is not slowing done anytime soon.
Are LIVE Job Fairs Cool Again?
The recession was pretty brutal to the live job fair industry. Employers had no reason to attend simply because they had too many resumes coming in for the few jobs they had open. Many of the job fairs during this time featured few jobs (many jobs being 100% commission) and lots of education resources.
Interviewing? – Real Things You Have to Do to Make a Great First Impression
My checklist for first impressions is very simple and it should be. When interviewing, so many spend time trying to memorize canned answers to questions like, “tell me about your greatest weakness?” Sure you need to be prepared but make sure that you do a great job with your first impression.

Always the Bride’s Maid, Never the Bride
We have all heard the saying "always the bride's maid, but never the bride.

Top Three Reasons Why a Long Hiring Process is Really Bad
According to Bersin & Associates, U.S. companies are spending and average of $3,500 per employee to just recruit them.

Employers: Too Many Unqualified Candidates Got You Down?
You write a great job description. You add a world class job title with very specific information about exactly what you are looking for in the job requisition. You post it to your career site, job boards and maybe even do a social campaign to really target in on an awesome candidate.
