Keep it fresh.
I feel that I can't stress the competitiveness of the job market enough. There are less jobs for more people and it is becoming ever-more important to utilize all resources available to you in your search. There are a few important skills that need to be learned. A few of them have already been touched upon in this blog-- resume building skills and interview skills. Just as it is essential to have an amazing, show-stopping resume, it is also crucial to wow your potential employer during the interview/ interviewing process. I feel that a lot of the experiences I have had can translate into the work force. Many of the clubs that I have joined have taught me the conversation and interview skills necessary to attain the goals I strive to attain. It's nice to finally have a list of things you shouldn't do during an interview, rather than a list of all the great things. Sometimes learning things from a different angle, gives you more insight on the topic and enables you to think outside the box. Thinking outside the box and innovation are two very important skills that can keep you fresh and make you stand out above all the rest.Labels: innovation, Interview skills, interviewing process

Yeah, I agree. Learning from another perspective gets you a mile ahead rather than sticking to your comfort zone. Before I never knew how to be confident with what I have and marketing myself for a job was too much of a fear for me. Good thing I found a job online. It made me more confident than ever.
