unique talents, it will be joyful."
CAREER PLANNING
CAREER EXPLORATION Once you have established your career goal, it is imperative that you begin exploring your options by gathering valuable career information and conducting extensive job market research.
-MARTHA STOODLEY
JOB SEARCH STRATEGIES Implementing and utilizing the most effective job search strategies ensures you have more control in managing the process and more choice in selecting your options. Candidates who utilize a more progressive, more self-initiated approach to conducting their search experience greater success in today's very competitive job market.
"Conducting a successful job search isn't simple, nor does it begin when you suddenly find yourself in need of a job. The search requires ongoing preparation -- and a lot of commitment, hard work, risk-taking and luck. The trick isn't just to get a job, but to get a job that fits you. The job search isn't simply a matter of who will hire you now, but of what career path you'll pursue."

INTERVIEW PREPARATION Candidates who devote adequate time and effort to their interview preparation are more confident and therefore more successful. Candidates who pay attention to the details of their presentation and who are aware of the psychological and subjective factors of the interview process typically get more job offers.
"It is not the person who is most qualified that gets the job. The person who gets the job is the one who interviews best."
-EDWARD SULLIVAN

It grabs attention, it sparks interest, and promotes the positive attributes of the candidate. Your resume is a marketing tool that effectively serves as your personal advertisement in the job market.
"A resume is the best way and largely the only way to disseminate important information about yourself. It is a personal advertisement. A portrait of you in writing. Just as a picture is worth a thousand words, so a resume speaks eloquently in your behalf."
-BURDETTE BOSTWICK
