Increasing Your Chances of Getting a Job

In these frightening economic times it is important to remember:

• If you are employed, do not quit your job until you have secured a new one.
• Since 80% of jobs are found through networking and according to one study Internet job searches have only a 4% success rate, don't spend all of your time sending resumes to jobs posted on job boards on the Internet.
• If you send your resume as an e-mailed attachment, when possible, follow up with a snail mailed copy on good quality paper in a 9x12 white envelope.
• Always send a handwritten thank you note within 24 hours after an interview - your name printed or embossed on the note will enhance your chances. Since only 10% of all candidates send thank you notes, this will imoress the employer and may clinch the job offer for you.
