"Selfie resume’ is the new mantra for Graduates" A consulting firm in India has starting building mobile apps which support 'Selfie resumes' Are you adept at handling a camera and posing for a ‘selfie’? Forget some experts’ description of ‘selfie’ obsession as a ‘mental disorder’, for this in fact could help you land a good job. From conventional resumes, some Graduates have transitioned to ‘Selfie resumes’ making full use of the creativity and expressiveness that comes along with it. Graduates are listing out their educational details and professional qualifications along with interests as well as basic information in a format that is short, crisp, visually appealing and shows the creative side too. If the registered users want to apply for a job opening, they can opt for an option available in the app which lets them record a 60-second video. This ‘Selfie Resume’ is then submitted to the employers. “This type of resume helps us cut down on fake profiles.” Selfie your way to a new career :-) #newways #newworld

Thinking Outside the Box for Successful Job Searching

Very interesting reading for anyone actively searching for their ideal job! Let us at Cork CV Preparation and Career Coaching help you reach your goal this 2016 😃

So how do I stand out from the crowd and be noticed by those employers who matter?? The key is to be proactive, not reactive. Even though job search networking is one of the most successful ways to find a new job, it can sound intimidating and sometimes seems a little bit scary. It doesn’t have to be. Believe me, I have been there, and know and appreciate the daunting task of job searching! At least 75% (some report even higher statistics) of all jobs are found by networking. I recommend that you develop contacts – these can be friends, family, neighbours, college alumni, people in associations – anyone who might help generate information and job leads. You can take a direct approach and ask for job leads or try a less formal approach and ask for information and advice. Contact everyone you know. You may be surprised by the people they know. Make yourself pick up the phone and call. It helps to assign yourself a quota of calls to be made each day. The more phone calls you make the easier it will become. Email is a perfectly acceptable way to network as well. Keep your message brief and to the point and be sure to check your spelling, grammar, and punctuation. I'll keep in touch with various tips and guidance throughout this new working year :-) Chat soon & happy job-hunting.
