What is the name of the Job your applying for? →

November 11, 2020 Brent Jones

Before you apply, try to learn the job name they are looking to fill. It will show that you took some interest and make you sound much better than trying to ask about the vacant job without a name. Wait a minute! Do companies have listings like this? Yes, sometimes they do, and the company may assume the job is obvious, but it would still have a correct name.

Vocabulary is always essential. A job may be called one name in one industry and another in a different sector even though it could be the same.

Another critical point is that you need to know the job name and description. Which departments does that job work with, and what does the company itself do. Researching before you make your first call or even try to use the right words on your application is essential.

Present Soft Skills that are Transferable and Portable on Your Job Searching Resume and Interview →

October 27, 2020 Brent Jones
Interviews & Resumes RSS

Soft and transferable or portable skills can be challenging to capture on a resume or even in an interview, but they can be the difference that gets you the job. First, you have to know enough about the job and company you want to talk with to be able to identify the skills from these categories that will be important (good focus for your informational interview) and then be able to present these verbally as you answer questions and talk about yourself in the hiring interview and process.

Some skills will be significant enough that you will want to make them part of your career path story. Some of these skills should be included in your “About” section on LinkedIn. Some may fit into the skills section of your resume, but of course, these skills need to match where you want to do the skills you want in the company posting. Cover letters can be the best place to present your career path story and show that your soft and transferable skills will bring value to the organization.

Your “Me, in 30 seconds” or your elevator pitch, even though often tailored and memorized, should consider the opportunity that the particular networking opportunity represents and weave some of these skills into the message that will be meaningful to the target audience you are speaking to.

In the interview, when asked questions often, you can demonstrate how you got results and reference the transferable skills you have to get the desired results. Just as you would identify the skills you’d like in a posting to present on your written resume, you will want to match those keywords to your verbal responses. If the post asks for someone who gives attention to detail, use those words in your verbal exchanges in the interview. Show that you understand and did your homework by identifying what the potential employer went to some effort to communicate.
