On The Job

JULY 10, 2009

Have a system in place to acknowledge that youve received a resume and/or cover letter when they come flooding in. It may cost you some time in the beginning, but it will save you in the long run when job seekers tie up your phone lines or e-mail asking, "Did you get my resume?" Besides, its just common courtesy.

3) Offer an introductory free samples or a great discount. This is why you should give free samples or a great discount and keep in touch with clients at least once a year via a personal email.

While you may not think a typo or two could damage your chances, imagine if you had turned in a resume to a potential employer and it had a misspelling here and one there. Lastly, spell out any offers, discounts, deals etc. in the proposal that will catch the individual’s eye.

Checklists ensure that all steps or actions occur, not necessarily in a specific order (though that can be part of the process), but rather just that they are completed, while a template is an established pattern - form letters, resume designs - that you can use over and over to produce the same result.

Each one takes twenty minutes to record, and when you add in that I write a personal email to go along with it, that’s well over 20 straight hours just to get caught up… and they keep coming and coming. Full confession: Someone recently emailed me to tell me how ironic it was that their Clarity Couch report was yet again delayed.

It’s easy to fall into the trap of emailing off four, five, or more guest posts quickly and then expecting to see your work on the blog of your choice the very next day. If in doubt, a polite email to the site owner may be in order. It’s perfectly acceptable to email your contact and ask about the status of your post.

I imagine at the time she knew just what a difference it would have made in her workplace to have been able to leave that question of gender unanswered when we were still at the resume stage of the proceedings. She didn’t have her own company yet, and she had been handing out resumes not that long ago herself. Not nearly.

Like, say, emailing us to ask if this is the right email to email us at, when the email you should use to apply is written on the job ad. When the job ad says email us with information and samples, don’t tweet us and say, “Just click here.&# Someone wrote an email to “Mr. Bangamon.&#

One friend refers you to someone who only has an email address, a generic address like annepottertherapist@mail.com. Would you search online for Anne Potter before writing her an email? Compounding the problem was the president giving me an @comcast.net email address. They’re all small business owners. THANK YOU!!

This sounds like the generic stuff you put on your resume when you’re just out of college and don’t realize that your resume shouldn’t sound like everyone else’s, and also that everyone in the world is lying when they say they are “goals-oriented.” No one is goals-oriented. Anything else I should have picked up from this post?

What REALLY maddens me are my 20-something fellow karate dojo colleagues – they’re looking for jobs but tell them to put up a personal resume website to highlight their skills, and they react like a deer in the headlights.

On the contrary, if you’re resuming only to openly stating your expertise you will most likely generate the opposite effect of reputation: people will start to avoid you. While this may be true, until they don’t make their skills obvious, nobody will even know what they do. This is why we still have 6 more articles to go.
