Introduction
I believe the job search is the game with predefined rules. You may increase your chances to find the job quickly if you follow these rules. There are three major steps of the job search process:
- Resume Preparation
- Interview
- Salary Negotiation
Remember that your resume serves exclusively the purpose to attract the employer! Nothing else! If you've been called for the interview, you may claim that your resume was successful. You may use resume preparation hints as a starting point for your resume.
Interview is the second part of the game and the most important one. You should do your best to demonstrate your knowledge, personal and inter-personal skills. See side bar for the interview tips and hints.
Salary negotiation is the final accord of the job search. I cannot help you here too much, because this is too individual and painful process. A few tips might be found in "After Interview" sidebar.
