Never Say These Five Things in a Job Interview
Great article! Great tips!
Never Say These Five Things in a Job Interview
"Humility is a great trait, but going out of your way to be self-deprecating is an interview turn-off.
You should always be candid about your role, but your interviewer doesn't care about your team dynamics or organizational chart. He wants to know what you did. He wants to know how you think. He wants to know about YOU."

5 Reasons Why You Never Hear Back After Applying for a Job
This article really highlights some of the pitfalls to avoid when job searching. I cannot stress enough how important networking is in finding and securing the job you want. Don't limit yourself to traditional networking. Social media allows HR departments to exist everywhere. Utilize LinkedIn to maximize your networking experience.
I also strongly agree that looking for a job is a job! Take it seriously. Devote a certain number of hours each week to looking for a job. If you can, spend an hour a day job searching. You may want to avoid doing this on your current employer's time. Limit your search to the newspaper and use your home computer or PDA.
While it is okay to look for new job while you're still employed, avoid job-hopping. Be proactive, but do not walk away from a company just because you think you can find something better. Potential employers do look at things like longevity and loyalty.
Remember to update your resume periodically. If you need assistance, please email me for help! writingbyashlea@gmail.com

English BA Resume
Everyone says it's impossible to find a job with a degree in the Humanities, specifically English. I've been surprised by how many friends have found well-paying jobs with this degree. In fact, many of them majored in English because they enjoyed writing and reading. Their decisions had very little to do with securing a job. Isn't that how it's supposed to be? Maybe not. In this day and age, people tend to gravitate towards majors geared towards careers. Despite this, there are ways to market yourself by highlighting the skills you have.
This resume uses simple fonts with a fancier font thrown in sparingly. The resume is easy to read, which is ideal for potential employers. This particular client was interested in a job in information management, as her master's degree that she is pursuing in library science will focus on this field.
