I’ve never made a political social media post in my life, and I’m 100% comfortable posting this. It’s not political. I’m posting it because my wife is a teacher. And because we have 2 school-aged kids. And because I’m proud to work with @CoachBrentKey and call him a friend.

Though I’m mostly sworn off posting here now, these #jobinterview tips for introverts are too good not to share. Show your self-reflection skills as a strength, share your thought process, and ‘own your fabulousness’. Thanks, @CaffeinatedKyle. #JobSeekers https://t.co/lWO8m9o69q

Your resume is a marketing document. It highlights your best traits and expertise for your immediate #career goal. It positions you as a ‘product’ in the eyes of ‘buyers’ i.e. hiring managers. #careeradvice #resumeadvice In other words, follow @ShelleyPiedmont’s sequence below.

[Shelley Piedmont @ShelleyPiedmont]

A successful job search looks like this: figure out first where you are, what you want to do, and how you need to get to your goal, and then execute - make your first step. Don't start with a resume, and then try to figure out what you want to do.

The thank you note is not dead... here are some tips and examples to help you craft an individual message after your job interview.

@RichCimini Since this year proves ANYTHING can happen, why wouldn't you put your best-hands DB as the deep back in Victory Formation instead of a WR or RB? In case of emergency, someone like @jwhite_333 is way better running forward to dive for a ball than any offensive player.

Great #jobsearching tips, especially to network, ask for support and “first things first, lose the pyjamas!”.

The most undervalued skill of our time is the ability to write.

In an analog world, talking was the main currency of communication and connection. In a digital world, there's a growing premium on the capacity to convey thoughts in text.

The pen is mightier than the spoken word.

There’s no more difficult word to spell in the English language than ‘zhuzh’.
It makes ‘tchotchke’ seem like ‘cat’ by comparison. #zhuzhitup #noitsnotyiddish

“Pretty much anywhere in the world men tend to think that they that are much smarter than women. Yet arrogance and overconfidence are inversely related to leadership talent.” https://t.co/6AQSLCwP5M

[Rob Feinstein @RobFeinstein]

Fun fact: the word most frequently found in resumes - ‘responsible’ - is also the word that’s the biggest waste of space. Resumes should list accomplishments, not job descriptions. #ResumeTips #jobsearching #career

"Colleges and universities can use their influence to pressure employers to end unpaid #internships". Hooray! But look in the mirror, too: it's wrong for schools to charge students for college credits earned from internships. @payourinterns #interns https://t.co/wBK8tntPe2

Here’s 1st-class advice for how to build a professional network on @LinkedIn from a cold start, i.e. no network to begin with. Takes time and effort, but most things worth achieving are like that. It’s simple: help others before you can expect them to help you. #networking career

Odd to say, but the most important part of your #jobsearching prep might be your choice of a file name for your resume. A generic resume.pdf might cost you the interview if the recruiter liked your resume but can’t find it later. #JobSearch

My #resume #tip4day: both first name and surname should be in the filename.

I have literally hundreds of Resume.docx in my work inbox.

Yours is never the only one the recipient has in theirs, and usually far from it.

Red sky in morning, sailors take warning. “Concerns about a potential downturn are reaching the youngest people in the workforce: 86% of college #interns believe a recession is on the horizon, according to a @GoldmanSachs global #internship survey.” https://t.co/I22bSiEvRT

RT @Adam_Karpiak Almost all my resume feedback centers on “ok but what did you actually do here?” & “ok what was the result of doing that?”

Don’t assume the reader sees the relevance & understands your value. Show them. Get the context out of your head and onto the document.

The workplace has changed forever with work-from-home skyrocketing during COVID. But some employers aren’t yet comfortable with that reality. Great tips here for how to navigate the new landscape if you prefer to work mostly at home. #WFH #WorkFromHome #WorkFromHomeNews

[Adam Karpiak @Adam_Karpiak]

Just a reminder that verbal job offers aren’t binding.

Do NOT: 1) Give notice 2) Stop interviewing with other companies 3) Let a company check references at your current employer

Protect your paycheck: 1) Get the offer letter 2) Clear the background check 3) Give notice

AbFab #jobinterview advice. Practice structured storytelling on top accomplishments as part of your interview prep. Make your best traits memorable!

[Abbhi Sekar 🤝 @AbbhiSekar]

Most people don’t use story-telling in interviews.

But story-telling makes you memorable. And memorable candidates win.

Here’s how to use stories to land your dream job:
