Join us for this training webinar on Thursday, September 9^th from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. PDT and learn techniques for handling the following problem areas:

Your primary focus as a job seeker is to book as many interviews as possible.  If you don’t date, then you don’t get married. If you don’t book interviews, then you don’t get hired! Focus your efforts on scheduling job interviews, informational interviews and appointments with possible mentors that could turn into interviews or referrals.

The number of resumes being screened out by automated systems is on the rise.  Often your resume is being screened out by a computer and is never even reviewed by a human being. If your resume is not key word rich, you are screened out regardless of your talents and experience.

You can’t continue to do things the same way and expect better results. You need to take action and make changes in your approach if your current approach is not bringing about your desired results.

The following three steps will help you schedule more interviews:

Step One: Realize your resume is either a ticket to an interview or it is causing you to be screened out. Let us review your resume FREE so we can advise you on what changes will improve your chances of scheduling interviews. Often a few small changes can have a dramatic impact on the results you will enjoy.

Step Two: Utilize new resources to identify job targets in addition to job boards, postings on websites or ads. These three resources have the highest level of competition. Get your resume in the hands of hiring authorities who are not currently reviewing stacks of resumes.

Step Three: Review your cover letter which can either improve or reduce the chances of your resume being read. Is it too long or too short? Does it mention the skills and experience you possess that are specific to the requirements of the opportunities you are targeting? Are you stressing what you have to offer that will differentiate you from other job seekers applying for the same position?

If you’re not sure what changes to make review the Job Seeker Training Webinar titled "Cover Letters that result in Interviews" and print out and review the handout. Use this URL to go directly to the handout: URL: www.myenginuityadvantage.com/library.php?content_id=159   

If you follow these three steps and you will begin to schedule more interviews which will greatly improve your chances of landing a new job!

September 1st @ 2:00 PM CST - How to Identify and Stress Accomplishments

When you apply for a job, don't you deserve to be at least considered? Of course you do!

You can't land a new job without interviewing. Your resume is the most important factor in successfully scheduling interviews. It is either your ticket to an interview or your resume can cause you to be ignored.

Bill Gates once gave a speech where he spoke about the eleven (11) rules of life. Rule number one was "Life isn't fair - embrace it!" That is actually great news. It means you can come from poverty and become rich. It means that your past does not define your future. The job opportunity you accept can change not only your life, but the lives of the people you love!

The harsh reality about resumes is that an overwhelming majority are ignored because of the way they are constructed, written or presented. Unless you differentiate your resume, odds are your resume will fall into the ignored category as well. If your resume is not rich in keywords, you could be screened out by a computer before a hiring authority had an opportunity to review your credentials!

If you are not successfully booking interviews, chances are your resume is lacking the leverage you need to separate yourself from your competition. It's time to stop selling yourself short by learning how you can create a resume that will generate a level of curiosity and interest that you never thought possible.

At www.myenginuityadvantage.com we provide you with the ability to have your resume reviewed for free, upgraded by a professional resume writer (at a very reasonable price) and finally distributed to thousands of targeted hiring authorities.

You owe it to yourself and to the success of your search to check it out!

There are many out there who have been in search of job opportunities for months, and for some, years. The stress of finances and the uncertainty of the future can weigh on even the strongest. This being said, it is important to remember how you are being viewed in the eyes of a potential employer. Walking into an interview with a visible “chip on your shoulder” can truly diminish your chances of being hired.
