Innovative 3 tools and helpful pointers for getting ahead in the job market.

Want to stand out from other job seekers? An online profile may be one way to do that.


 


These days, you can send a link to your online profile in an e-mail to prospective 4 employers. Ziggs.com, a company that launched in October, offers online profiles for $25 a year, with the first year free.


 


“The online profile gives so much [more information than] the resumé. It’s a great point of differentiation 5,” says Tim DeMello, chief executive at Ziggs.


 


The profile you create includes a snapshot page complete with photo and quick introduction, a more detailed 6 biography, and a faux interview, where the applicant 7 decides which questions to answer.


 


For $50 a year (on top of the $25), the company will ensure your profile tops the list of sponsored searches when anyone searches your name using a major Internet search engine such as Google or Yahoo. “Your name being in search listings is important and the information attached to it is important,” DeMello says. Employers are “going to look at that, even before they invite you in for an interview.”


 


Resumé required


Whether or not you decide an online profile is worth your money, you’ll still need a resumé. “Most hiring managers still want to see a very pristine 8, clean, good-looking resumé,” says Mark Mehler, co-author of CareerXroads, a directory of job sites. “It’s not going away.”


 


Given that the resumé remains 9 a powerful force in hiring, consider the following advice in order to avoid many all-toocommon mistakes:


 


Stick to relevant information. Job seekers “have about 10 seconds to catch a potential employer’s eye,” says recruitment director Jennifer Johnson. “They have to make the first word of every bullet point an action word, such as coordinated 10, managed, facilitated, organized. That will make the reader keep reading.”

21世纪的高科技求职工具


 


新颖有效的工作简历让你在职场上脱颖而出

希望在其它求职者中脱颖而出吗?网上简历可能是一种选择。


你现在可以通过电子邮件,让未来雇主直接链接至你的网上简历。Ziggs.com 公司去年10月成立,提供客户网上简历服务,每年仅收费25美元,第一年免收费。


Ziggs.com 执行长堤姆·迪莫洛说:网上简历可提供比履历表更多讯息,是很棒的、与众不同的做法。


你在 Ziggs.com 建立的简历包括一个简述页,页中含有照片及简单的自我介绍、一份较详细的自传,以及一个可由求职者自行决定回答哪些问题的仿真面谈。


除之前所提25美元收费外,每年另加50美元,公司将确保在有人通过如 Google Yahoo 等知名互联网搜索引擎搜寻时,你的简历将于赞助搜索结果中,排在较前面。迪莫洛说:你的名字出现于搜索结果很重要,其连带的信息也很重要。雇主们会仔细阅读,甚至是在邀请你面谈之前。


 


切记准备履历表


你无论认为花钱建立网上简历是否值得,仍然需要一份履历表。马克·梅勒是网络征才目录 CareerXroads 的共同作者。他说:多数征才经理人仍旧希望看到一份非常整齐、干净好看的履历表。这点是不会改变的。


由于履历表在应征时扮演重要角色,撰写履历表时应避免一些常犯的错误:


 


仅提供相关信息。珍尼弗·强森是美国纽约求职顾问公司 Wisnik Career Enterprises 的征才主管。她说:求职者约有10秒钟时间吸引潜在雇主的注意。每一项目段落的第一个词,都应该使用动词,例如:负责协调’、负责管理’、负责促成’、负责组织’等。这将吸引对方继续往下读。
