- Identify your preferences...
industry or activity sectors, type and size of business, geographic limitations
etc. In this way, contrary to the "shot-gun" approach, you will be able
to focus your efforts on a well defined plan.
- Personalize your action by adding
a short note or a memo to your résumé indicating how, in your
opinion, the position fits well in your career plans and pointing out your
assets. You will have more chances of having your name on the short list.
- A résumé must be a résumé
not a lengthy curriculum vitae. It looks as if some candidates make a direct
parallel with the size of their CV and the value of their candidacy. While it is
important to have a properly documented CV for the purpose of the interview, it
is preferable to make the initial contact with a short 2 pages
résumé. The recipient will find it much easier to read and to
identify the required elements, furthermore this kind of résumé
shows your ability to synthesize.
- Interview simulation done with the
help of a professional, a human resource specialist or a personnel consultant
could certainly help you "de-bug" your presentation while revealing
some aspects of your talent or expertise. This will provide an opportunity to
polish your act while leaving some frustration behind.
