Follow on Google News | Academic Search Engine Knobull Jumpstarts Career Search Success With Creative Hunting TipsBy: Knobull When you're in a time crunch or you are throwing dozens of resumes and cover letters out every day, it is easy to lose track of where you are applying to, what you are applying for, and the information you have given the company. Searchers need to keep track of the company you have applied at, the position you applied for, job description, date you applied, and salary range listed. Our best advice for an unconventional, untapped job market is Twitter and LinkedIn. Recruiters are often sharing positions they have available through these platforms. If there is a dream company you want to apply for but you can't find an email for the person doing the hiring, try to find their professional group. Target something you both have in common, and join that group. At some point in their job search, everyone can use a little career guidance. And that's where a mentor comes in. Reach out to mentors whose accomplishments you sincerely admire and whom you feel could be an integral part to your job search success. Although it might not seem all that unique, a good old-fashioned follow up can go a long way in making you a standout job candidate. When you have an interview or other meeting, make your followup more than just a perfunctory "thank you for your time." Briefly stress your interest in the position and highlight your skills and accomplishments that match their requirements. Bentley concluded, "When you're competing with hundreds of applicants for one job, knowing how to get creative and stand out to employers can make all the difference in your job search." End
