Resume Writing For A Day Job

Resume Writing For A Day JobIf you're like me, the thought of your first year in college can be a bit daunting, but even with your own college experience, when it comes to resume writing for a day job at a company that doesn't have a website, that first step can seem like a lot more than it really is. After all, if you're just a freshman or sophomore, it will likely be a while before anyone ever sees it.When I was looking into resumes for my first year in college, I didn't realize that there was actually a term called 'Dayton' in use. So I started searching for it online and didn't take into account that some of these companies actually referred to themselves as 'Dayton' but others still referred to them as 'Dayton-based'.How do you find a way to make it easier on yourself and minimize the pain of searching for what's actually a very stressful and rather unsuccessful but at least simple and short-term 'successful' but really not a successful at all long-term way to go about your resu me writing? Well, you could spend hours searching and spending all of your time thinking about your goal to write that great resume. Or you could take the 'shortcut' and find a good tool that will make your life a whole lot easier and save you a lot of time!One of the most popular ways to go about it is through the use of online job sites. In fact, there are a lot of them that actually have much better hiring processes than many traditional brick and mortar companies. Many of them don't even require you to apply anymore, and all of the information is collected through their databases. This has some pros and cons to it, but in my opinion, if you're using an online resource to search for those more qualified than you, that's a big positive.You're going to get to see far more applicants than if you were to search offline for the same position, since many of these companies have far more potential employees to hire than traditional brick and mortar companies do. However, the downsides i s that it takes a little longer and if you're trying to catch the attention of one of the bigger companies, that might take forever! As you can imagine, this isn't a great solution for you if you're the average Joe looking for a job, but if you're the regular college student trying to make sure you get hired, well, you know the drill!Oh, yeah, and OH YES, the downsides of online search services like Monster and such are that they are usually more expensive than offline services. In fact, it might be easier to find something in the middle! I know that because I was a high school graduate with a Master's degree, but because I'm a work at home mom, I'm going to use offline services for my job hunting.Once you have your first job or two under your belt and your resume set up, it's time to move up. Don't stress out about this step too much, because it's really just part of the process. Remember, even if you're not happy with your resume, just keep looking and moving up until you get hire d by a real, brick and mortar company.The goal of this article is to provide you with a little bit of insight on how to do your work online so that you can eliminate all of the trial and error that you would normally do in offline marketing. Use your free online tools and you'll be doing your best to get hired. Work smart, work hard, and have fun!
