Advice
A thousand and one friendly advices for your job search, your resume, your presentation letters and your training.
RESUME You may want to consult our resume models before writing your own, and remember …it is always preferable to deliver your resume in person rather than sending it by mail. …a good resume must be clear, precise, correctly written with a neat presentation. It is always good to join a presentation letter to your resume to clearly indicate what you are looking for and to demonstrate your interest towards the company.	PRESENTATION LETTER There are many types of presentation letters. What you must remember is that it is important not to brag about yourself or to put yourself down. You must simply denote your experiences, your education, your qualities and skills in relation to the job offered.	JOB SEARCH You must be efficient in your job search; here are a few tips. Did you know that only 15% of all the jobs available are posted? This means that the other 85% of jobs available are not posted. We call that the hidden market. Today, the best way to find an appropriate job is to build a strong network of friends and acquaintances which by whom you will come across opportunities. Building a network is a more dynamic way to search for a job than to drop resumes everywhere that are often times never read by the person to whom it is addressed to. The phone must become your best friend because it is a necessary tool if you are looking for a job.	JOB INTERVIEW Your goal during a job interview is to prove to the employer that you are the candidate that they were looking for. Here is some advice: - It is important to make a good first impression. - Avoid criticizing on your ex employer or employers. - Keep a positive attitude throughout the interview.	EDUCATION Going back to school is a decision that requires great attention. Meet with one of our advisers to be well guided during this important process.
