Not surprised on number one! After reading I tried to do it myself and I wasn’t as articulate as I expected. Thanks for highlighting that.

Trend shows that social network is currently the best way to stand out and handing out personal high quality application directly to the hiring managers, old school. Now how to write a resume? Just keep it clean and professional. No grammar errors, no I and me statement, and use specific figures when you can. Keep your qualification relevant to the position you're applying to.

Wonderful ideas, Miriam! I am presenting a workshop next week about how to stand out in your job search. I have offered my audience some ideas about the importance of experience and ways to get it, the follow-up, and knowing who you are and why it is so important in the job search.

As always…love your blog!

Miriam speaks the truth. The phrase “I can do anything” is actually the equivalent of saying, “I can do nothing.” Hiring managers and recruiters want to know what you bring to the table as a specialist, an expert.
You need to be able to communicate this message in a very consistent manner, too. Bringing specific examples to the discussion makes all the difference. More on a consistent message in marketing yourself: http://twurl.nl/0reemt
