Hello, my name is Pamela Flowers. I am very glad you have found my website focused on HR. I have always felt that HR departments get a bad reputation. There are some HR departments that make life difficult for the workforce, but this doesn't have to be the case. I have stayed abreast on the changing world of HR and it is really amazing how some HR departments are training employees and the creative ways that they recognize the achievements of these employees. So in defense of HR, I have decided to create a blog that covers all the great work they often do.
Are you currently looking for a new job? Whether you are unemployed or working at a job that you do not like at the moment, it is important to follow a few quick steps to improve your chances of finding a new job within a shorter amount of time:
Edit That Resume
When was the last time you actually looked at your resume? If it has been several years since you updated it, now is a better time than ever to check it out and make some changes. Your traditional resume may have worked out well for you a few years ago, but things are constantly changing, and it is important for your resume to reflect those changes.
Now that so many people are connected online, it makes sense to include links to some of your social media accounts on your resume. While this does not necessarily mean you have to add links to your private Facebook page, it is a good idea to include a link to your LinkedIn page. Potential employers may be impressed with this modern update.
Aside from including links to social media accounts, consider cutting out some of the unnecessary stuff from your resume. If you are using lengthy sentences to describe work that you have completed in the past, erase some of the fluff and get straight to the point while only highlighting some of the most recent skills you have acquired.
Get Help From an Employment Agency
Looking for the right job is a job in itself. If you feel like you are spending hours on the computer trying to find the perfect position, it could help to have assistance from an employment agency. The agency is there to help match you with a job based on your education, skills, and experience. There could be a suitable position open and available for you that you do not know about at the moment.
The agency eliminates some of the work for you so that you are not stuck searching for employment for hours each day. Simply contact an agency and let them know what types of positions you are interested in the most. Supply them with a copy of your resume and details about your relevant work experience. Before you know it, you could have the perfect job match.
Finding a job you love is sometimes a bit challenging, but there are some steps you can take to make it happen a bit faster. Make sure you have an edited copy of your resume that is modern and up-to-date. Get additional assistance from an employment agency that could possibly find the perfect job match for you.
