| Clean Up Your Act!
We all know that April is a great time to start spring cleaning. Your job search should be no different. To help you tidy things up, we’ve created a list of job search related items that may need some extra attention.
- LinkedIn profile: Make sure your LinkedIn profile is up-to-date and that there is current activity. Join groups, post updates, and join conversations related to the field of work you are looking for.
- Image: Studies show that more than 70 percent of employers use Google and other online tools to gather information about you. Google your name to find out what your prospective employers will see.
- Voicemail: If you would be embarrassed to have a recruiter hear your current voicemail message, it may be time to think about changing it. Remember to check both your cell phone and ground line.
- Email: Is your email address professional? Your friends might think hotchick25, redskinsfan555 or baked420 are funny, but hiring managers won’t. If you can’t live without your existing account, that’s fine; set up a new, more professional email address dedicated to professional communications.
- Wardrobe: 
;What you wear says a lot about you. Do you have a professional outfit ready to go in case you are called in for an interview? Take a look at these top 20 no-no’s from Career Builder to make sure your garb is appropriate.
- Resume: Your resume is what most often introduces you to employers. If yours is not landing you interviews, it might be time for a revamp. Need help? Check out “Improving your resume” under RichmondJobNet’s job search tips.
- Cover letters: Make sure that you are writing customized cover letters for each job you apply to. Your cover letter should clearly and concisely highlight your strengths as related to the position you are applying for – without any typos or spelling errors! There are some great resources under RichmondJobNet’s “Writing a better cover letter”section.
- Interview skills: If you’re going on interview after interview but not getting hired, your interview style may be to blame. If you’re a student or alumni, contact your university’s career office to set up a mock interview. Otherwise, check out RichmondJobNet’s “Acing your interview” section under job search tips.
- Your network: If you’ve been hibernating this winter, now’s the time to get out and meet new people. Not sure where to start? Why not take a look at RichmondJobNet’s list of networking organizations?
