It’s a new assignment for the Recruiter! He or
she is anxious to get candidates in front of the Hiring
Manager!
So it’s important to you as a proactive
Job Seeker to be near the front of the line, in terms of
getting your resume to the Recruiter. And, of course, you
want to make a favorable first impression! Here’s
what we suggest:
1. Create
an online resume, what we call a Candidate
Profile. That way, as you see new opportunities, you
are ready to act quickly, by emailing your Candidate Profile
to the Recruiter. There are lots of advantages to emailing
your Candidate Profile, as opposed to faxing or regular
mail. First, it’s much faster. Second, it goes directly
to the Recruiter. Who knows who empties the fax machine
or screens the mail? Third, you can use colors and formatting
that help you get noticed. Fourth, and most importantly,
an email is easily forwarded on to the Hiring Manager!
Our Candidate
Profile Form has been developed using feedback
from hundreds of Recruiters and Hiring Managers concerning
what information Job Seekers need to supply, and in what
format. So you can be comfortable when submitting a Candidate
Profile that you have done what you can to make a favorable
first impression.
Create
a Candidate Profile, and start applying for Computer Jobs,
or jobs in other professions of interest.
2. Set
up a Job Alert. Remember our comment about the
first 48 – 72 hours in the life of a job posting?
Make sure you are among the first to know about new Computer
job postings matching your career interests, geographic
preferences and salary requirements. Your Job Alert will
send an email every time a new job posting matching your
alert criteria is posted to our network of job banks. Then,
you can quickly email your Candidate Profile to the Hiring
Manager, insuring that you are among the first to apply!

3. Stay Current.
It’s important to stay current on key developments,
trends, etc. in your chosen profession. Particularly at
the interview stage, you must be able to illustrate to the
recruiter and the Hiring Manager that you are knowledgeable
concerning all the major facets of your profession. There
are lots of ways you can do this:
- Join a professional club or association.
- Take courses or attend seminars.
- Read trade journals or magazines. We offer over 200
FREE publications to our job seekers. Check
our list to see if one or more are of interest
to you.

search! Check back frequently for new information on products
and services designed to help our visitors stay ahead of
