These days, job seekers need all the help they can get to rise above the crowd and get noticed first by prospective employers. Toward this end, I thought I’d share with you a new, free tool I’ve created and launched to help job seekers: www.preverify.com PreVerify is a free tool with which job seekers can conduct their own accurate and professional employment verifications. Following the quick and simple registration process, simply send your PreVerify request to your former and current employers to complete online at a time that is convenient for them to do so. No more interruptive phone calls, just an employment verification that can be used over and over again, forever. Rather than crowd this email with a bunch of words, attached are two recent articles that talk about PreVerify: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2009/08/prweb2645354.htm http://www.killerstartups.com/Web-App-Tools/preverify-com-preverifying-employment-histories Please feel free to View My PreVerify Profile: http://www.preverify.com/profile/michael-levine/1 Sage advice!

I particularly think it's important to remind jobseekers to follow up during their networking efforts. It's so easy for things to slip between the cracks. Valuable tips, Miriam!

In fact, I often wonder how useful it would be if there were one "right" approach to the job hunt. Thanks so much, and ditto regarding the collaboration!

I would add that creating a strong online identity through sites like Google, Zoom Info, Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook can also help you break out of the mold. Miriam,

One of many points I loved is that there is 'no holy grail.' Too often, people (particularly at the outset of their search) hunt for that secret weapon, that perfect solution, that perfectly designed resume with the font that won't offend, buzzwords that everyone will gravitate toward and design that is guaranteed to win them the interview and job. Instead, as you say, job seekers should create their own shape through a series of steps that tie to their unique personality and career differentiators. We ALL have unique traits. Then, understanding the target audience's needs, listening (good point) and engaging others is imperative to propelling job search traction ... and results! Well put, Miriam! And, like you said over at my blog, I am so delighted we are partnering to create and manage this Career Collective initiative. What exciting opportunities await! Jacqui Miriam,
