60 Second Job Preparation
1 - Be sharp, enthusiastic, energetic, happy. Get fit and trim.

2 – Keep a list of everyone you contact and each job you apply for.

3 - Collect potential questions and write out short answers – keep this forever.

4 - Make your resume simple, easy to read, replacing statements like, hardworking, 15 years experience,
with objective statements that hit hard and prove your skills and abilities, using numbers and dollars. If you
want a job as a Tax Accountant, put those words in several places. Put down accomplishments not job
duties on the resume and remember you don't need your boss' approval for what you say.

5 - Put your resume on Monster and Careerbuilder and edit it daily, yes daily, so people will see that it's
fresh. Carefully word your title in Monster, something like Joe Green, Tax Account.

6 - Make it easy for people to contact you with only one phone, don't screen calls and use a short, simple,
professional email address. Contact everyone you know including references every week.

7 - Networking is king for getting a job. Read, "How to make people like you in 90 seconds" by Boothman

8 – Use recruiters, but don’t lose your common sense.

9 – Don’t lose your common sense and do things like give strangers your social security number

10 – Be proud of who you are and what you have done and get in a good mood prior to interviews.

11 – Rely on God.

Tailoring

resume is given about 5 seconds to determine if it
catches the viewer eye!

Resumes must carefully reflect one’s skills/experience
as they relates to the specific job that is being applied to!

Name the document properly, use a doc file.
