it’s a long process for some people it’s
it’s a much shorter one for others
finding a job is a job in itself hi I’m
Rebecca Brayton and welcome to
watchmojo.com today I sat down with
Gabriel Bouchard vice president of
Monster dot CA to get some tips on
everything from writing a resume to
finding a job where can people find job
postings they seem to be everywhere even
though the internet made it easier for
employers to post our jobs there are
still a lot of jobs that are not being
posted I think the key is still to
uncover where those opportunities are
networking is definitely one way to go
and by networking I also mean word of
mouth make sure people know that you’re
looking for a job because in there are
companies chances that there are many
jobs open right now or will soon become
available or greater than ever
due to the huge turnover rate we’re
seeing in most of the industries what
are some major dudes and don’ts of
resume writing it all comes down to what
kind of positions you’re applying to if
you’re applying to a creative position
you can’t afford to use a more creative
approach when putting your resume
together in the main criteria that
companies will be looking for is
something else I don’t know you have to
be very detailed focused the arrhythmia
will have to carry this kind of a
perception of yourself so make sure
there’s no spelling errors or things
like that and even the formatting has to
be quite well organized and standardized
now you have to define what is the key
or the key messages I need to deliver
through my resume and make sure that
their resume supports that it’s truly a
communication process many especially
larger companies are using ATS system
applicant tracking systems basically
automating the screening process of all
those resumes coming through the web
those companies will pay too much
attention to the look and feel of your
resume but more the content ask yourself
what kind of keywords would they use
when searching the database of resumes
to find somebody with my skill set make
sure that all those keywords are in your
resume so you found the job that you’d
like to apply for you giving your resume
and you finally gotten an interview how
much research do you recommend before
the interview as much as possible what
you want to avoid is to go there and ask
basic questions where the answers would
be available on the website and if you
can have access to any other information
that is relevant to your position this
is something you should know like a big
contractor company on just one and
you’ll be called to work on that project
try to do as much research as possible
and if you know people in the
organization call them try to get some
inside information can you give us some
basic interview tips now you want to
really dig into what does it mean on a
day to day basis what would be the
expectations my boss’s expectations
toward me who’s the person I’m going to
be reporting to things that you cannot
find on the website you need to
demonstrate that you have what it takes
but at the same time you’re not
overconfident
it’s a much shorter one for others
