Update: Site Problems 03/02/10

Tue, 03/02/2010 - 12:36 by Careers Resources   Tags:

After some system updates last night, the Categories "Interviews", "Career Management" & "Resumes" cannot be accessed. The articles still exist, but the as yet unidentified problem is routing requests to an "Error 404: File Not Found!" page.

We were in the process overhauling the visual aspects of the site when the error occurred, and apologize for any inconvenience.

Currently, our top priority is restoring the basic functionality of the site.

Thank you for your patience!

By: Sarika Kabra

So you’ve never compiled or written a resume and so have no experience at what goes into one. You are also not sure that you need a resume in the first place, or why, if at all, you need one. You’ve probably seen some resume samples and frankly you think it is extra work that you can do without.

Tue, 02/16/2010 - 12:30 by Careers Resources   Tags:

By: Roland Poitevin

Before landing that dream job, there are two important "wells" to jump over - one is getting the interview call (this happens when your resume passes) and second is succeeding in the interview. The interview is an opportunity that is given to a candidate to show case his technical skills/soft skills/ experience/ knowledge and to prove that he/ she fits the role and can be an asset to the company.

Building A Quality Targeted Cover Letter

Thu, 02/11/2010 - 17:14 by Careers Resources   Tags:

Author: Landon Long

In a pile of resumes at least ten will be asked for a job interview and most often only one will be hired. Employers do not just pick and choose at random the candidates they want to interview and the candidates who don’t get to be so lucky, the key to an interview lies in your cover letter for the job application. A good letter can be the key to many opportunities in your search for the perfect job.
