Welcome to the first
edition of our monthly e- preparation newsletter. Our mission statement
speaks to the fact that we are candidate-centric, partnership-focused and
quality oriented. It is my sincere belief that surface statements without
substance and/or action are simply words. Therefore, we'd like you to
consider this newsletter as one method we're using to fulfill our mission
statement with action.
In addition to updating
you on the company's latest news and events, this newsletter is designed
to give you another preparation tool to use in your career/job search.
Each month, we will spotlight one of the three candidate groups we
service (Current Students, Entry-Level and Experienced). The spotlight will
include valuable preparation information specific to that group. This
month, we've chosen 'The Student Candidate' because graduation season
is quickly approaching. I found the information for this month's
spotlight on careerbuilder.com and thought it would be helpful for
candidates who are graduating.
I encourage you to visit
our website often for regular updates on our services. If you feel like
this information could be useful to someone else, PASS IT ON! We've
created a Yahoo Group for candidates who are interested in being a part
of helping to fulfill our mission by staying in communication with us and
spreading our message. It's completely FREE and we even offer an
incentive for joining. After this issue, only Group Members will receive
this monthly newsletter. You will also get notification of special
member's only discounts, exclusive job leads, and exclusive invitations
to private BKHRS events. Visit our website for more information.
Lastly, I'd like to
invite you to help us celebrate the launch of our Resume Preparation
Services (available NOW NATIONWIDE) by taking advantage of our special
pricing for the month of April. I won't guarantee that you will get a job
if you use one of our services. I will guarantee that if you make the
initial investment in us, we will make an investment in your future!!

BKHRS SPOTLIGHT - 'The
Student Candidate'
|

LOOKING FOR A JOB WHEN YOU HAVE MINIMUM EXPERIENCE
You can say "teachable" within your resume, but most
recruiters will simply dismiss this type of verbiage in a resume as too
fluffy. Recruiters work on the simple premise - they have a job
requisition on their desk with certain requirements. These requirements
range anywhere from possessing certain skills, experience, (often in
terms of years), educational requirements and industry background, etc.
If you do not have the level of experience, the required education nor
necessary skills for the position, please understand an employer will
almost always choose a candidate that does. If you find your heart
pulling you towards a particular firm or company that you are NOT
qualified for, you have two options.
- Keep applying, sending out hundreds of resumes and roll the
dice that someone will give you a chance. In today's job market,
this could be a long wait.
- Be prepared to accept more of a junior role position. Put
your ego aside. Give yourself a chance to prove to the organization
you are "teachable", a hard worker and a valuable
employee. This is the same advice that I give women who took time
off for maternity leave. If you have been out of the work force for
a significant amount of time, you cannot expect to enter the
workforce necessarily at the same level you left.
Obtaining a lower-level position is better than nothing. Not
only does it bring home the rent check, but it also gives you an
opportunity to get your foot in the door. You'll be a stronger candidate
for other positions in the company that better suit your desires and
career plans. A current employee who has a good track record in an
organization will usually be higher up on the candidate pile than those
who have no "in" to the organization. Also, when you are
employed in this more junior role, volunteer for other assignments to
prove that you are capable of taking on more aggressive assignments.
However, BEWARE, make sure you do not let an
employer take advantage of your generosity. There is a fine line between
such.
