The Resume Building/Interview Process/Job Hunting tips thread...

[TM101]

If I'm applying to something low level like retail, putting unfinished college experience would look bad, right?

Need more advice brehs...if a company is asking for salary requirements in a cover letter do you actually put a range? Should I just leave it out and discuss for if & when I get an interview. I looked up glass door and see what they pay. I also read from a few sites that you should try to leave a dollar amount.

Keep it one page (both resume and cover letter):
List only skills relevant to the SPECIFIC position
Avoid using "I" too much in your cover letter and be sure to user a bulletin item to highlight accomplishments (if applicable)

Political uncertainty.

First 6 months of the year I've had about 10 interviews for good quality jobs. After July I've only had about 2-3. So I'll only be on track to have 5 by end of year for the 2nd half of 2016. The election put a damper on Fall hiring this year.

I'll check out the site. My resume and cover letter fit those points, I've just had no luck. I know if I get a call and get a interview I can knock it out of the park so it sucks to just hear nothing

I'm a recent grad too so I feel like that's make me seem like a bigger risk to employers as well
