Job Search Tip: Know What You Want
You've heard the saying, "Failing to plan is planning to fail" and the same holds true for a job search. Many people are too general in their job search approach thinking that if they apply for every job out there, they'll eventually land something. While that may be true, you're better off targeting a specific type of job and/or industry. If you've got experience in that job or industry, then you're off to the races and you'll want to ensure that your resume positions you as an expert in your chosen field. If you don't then you'll want to address the type of position you're looking for in the objective statement on your resume.Laura Whitelaw

Job Search Tip : Prepare a Targeted Professional Resume
Preparing a targeted professional resume is essential. I liken it to niche marketing. You're more likely to get called for interviews if you resume is targeted. This can be accomplished by inserting an objective statement into your resume or by creating a professional profile section at the start of your resume that describes the number of year's experience you have related to that type of work and industry; your educational background and achievements.Laura Whitelaw, www.squidoo.com/job-search-tips-for-success
